One dead, one injured in shooting near store

One man was killed and another seriously injured in a shooting in front of a Northwest Baltimore convenience store Saturday night, police said.

About 10:15 p.m., a gunman approached two men standing in front of a store in the 2900 block of Garrison Blvd. and shot them, police spokesman Officer Troy Harris said.

An 18-year-old man who was shot in the head collapsed on the curb. He was taken to Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead about 10:45 p.m., Harris said.

The second victim, a 43-year-old man, was shot in the neck and staggered into the convenience store before collapsing. He also was taken to Sinai, where he was being treated yesterday, Harris said.

Harris did not release the identities of the victims, pending notification of next of kin.

Police do not have a description of the gunman, who appears to have fled on foot, Harris said.
