From Silver Spring, Maryland<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Montgomery County police say officers responded to the 14000 block of Twig Road at around 3:18 a.m. Wednesday for a reported theft. When they arrived, police were flagged down by a resident on Rossiter Court who told them he had fired several gunshots with his handgun at three suspects in the area. The suspects fled the scene after the shooting.<\/p>\n

A short time later, police located an 18-year-old male suspect suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower body on Elm Grove Circle after the 911 call center received a call about a person shot. He was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

Two other teenage suspects were later located by police. They have been charged with theft while the injured 18-year-old is expected to face charges once he is released from the hospital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Little Rock, Arkansas<\/a>;<\/p>\n

About 30 minutes later, a female robber holding a “long barrel rifle” and a man with a gun entered the Exxon station at 8724 Colonel Glenn Road, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The pair immediately pointed their weapons at the manager and several customers near the cash register, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old manager said he recognized the two robbers as [Makala Ann] Colin and an 18-year-old Little Rock man, and addressed both of them by name.<\/p>\n

“Really Makala? You’re really gonna do this?” he said, according to the report. He then handed the robbers some cash.<\/p>\n

When the 18-year-old man realized that he had been identified, he became angry, yelling that he was going to kill someone, while at the same time grabbing multiple pastries and cupcakes from a nearby display stand, the report stated.<\/p>\n

Then the pair fled, running to a maroon Chevrolet truck that was waiting for them, the manager told officers. He added that Colin dropped the rifle, the report said.<\/p>\n

As the manager ran after the truck trying to get the license plate number, he said, the man began shooting at him. The employee said he shot back and thought he may have shot Colin in the thigh.<\/p>\n

The driver and the male robber then left in the truck, the manager told police, while Colin reportedly ran south on John Barrow Road.<\/p>\n

About 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, officers spoke to Colin at CHI St. Vincent Infirmary, where she was being treated for a gunshot wound in her left thigh, police said.<\/p>\n

Colin reportedly told officers that she had been shot around midnight while taking her usual route to her boyfriend’s house. She said she heard arguing coming from a house in the 3600 block of Walker Street, then shots were fired, and she felt something hit her leg and started running, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Colin said she reached her boyfriend’s house, cleaned the wound there and waited until about 7:30 a.m. to go to the hospital, reports said.<\/p>\n

The Exxon manager did not report the holdup until Wednesday, telling police that he had pushed the alarm button but later discovered that it was not connected and was “overwhelmed” so he went home, the report said.<\/p>\n

He told police that a woman entered the business that day saying she was Colin’s mother. She showed the manager pictures of the gunshot wound and requested that he call police to “keep her daughter from being killed” through her ties to the male robber, the report said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
