3 shot outside Montgomery County government building in Wheaton


Montgomery County police responded to a report of a shooting in front of the Montgomery County Government office building at 2425 Reedie Drive in Wheaton early Sunday morning, February 12, 2023. Officers arrived on the scene around 3:27 AM Sunday, and found an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound. The officers performed life-saving measures on the victim until an ambulance arrived to transport him to a local hospital, where is he now recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.


Two other adult males also suffering from gunshot wounds found their own way to an unspecified hospital. Detectives learned that they, too, were victims of the same shooting outside the government building. Police have not released any descriptions of the suspects. The recently-built 2425 Reedie Drive building is home to several Montgomery County Government departments, including Montgomery Parks, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and Montgomery County Planning Board, the Montgomery County Recreation Department, and the Department of Permitting Services.

Detectives are urging anyone with information regarding this shooting or the suspect(s) involved to call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
