PRINCESS ANNE — Maryland State Police are investigating a shooting that injured a three-year-old boy in Somerset County early morning Feb. 15.

The child, who was not identified, was transported from the scene by ambulance to Tidal Health Peninsula Regional in Salisbury for treatment of injuries sustained in the shooting.

Shortly after 8:30 on Monday morning, troopers from the Criminal Enforcement Division Lower Shore Region responded to a home in the 30000 block of Bardwell Drive in the Wilson Landing mobile home park in reference to a shooting that injured a young boy.

Upon their arrival to the residence, the victim and his father were being loaded into an ambulance.

The preliminary investigation indicates the victim was struck by a gunshot that appears to have entered the victim’s bedroom from outside of the home. The exterior of the home where the bullet entered faces east toward U.S. 13. It was unclear during the initial investigation whether the gunshot came from someone inside a vehicle.

There were three adults in the home at the time of the incident. There were no other injuries reported.

Troopers on scene, along with officers from the Princess Anne Police Department, and deputies from the Somerset County Sheriff’s office conducted a search while securing the area. They conducted neighborhood checks and interviewed several witnesses. Personnel from the MSP Crime Scene Unit also responded to collect evidence and process the scene.

Investigators ask anyone with information relevant to this case to contact MSP at the Princess Anne Barrack, 443-260-3700. All calls may remain confidential.
