At approximately 8 p.m., deputies responded to the 19100 block of Olde Waterford Road in Hagerstown, Maryland -- some 80 miles northwest of Baltimore -- for a reported shooting.
"The victim, an adult male, was located in the driveway of a residence. The victim was suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds. He was transported to Meritus Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries," authorities said in a press statement following the incident.
