A late-night burst of gunfire in Edgewood left one young man dead and another seriously injured Friday, rattling a Harford County neighborhood that has seen more than its share of violent crime in recent years.
Deputies were called out around 11:15 p.m. to the area of Grempler Way and Brookside Drive. Authorities say they arrived in under a minute and quickly found a 22-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds to the shoulder and neck. He was stabilized at the scene, then rushed to a Baltimore-area trauma center.
A short distance away, on the 1900 block of Eloise Lane, deputies located a second victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was later identified as 20-year-old Bryan H. Burrows. First responders performed lifesaving measures, but Burrows was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies Respond Within a Minute
According to CBS Baltimore, Harford County deputies were dispatched to Grempler Way and Brookside Drive at about 11:15 p.m. and arrived in less than a minute. They rendered aid at both locations, with officials describing the surviving victim’s injuries as gunshot wounds to the shoulder and neck before he was transported to a trauma center for additional treatment.
Victim Identified and Condition
WMAR-2 News reports that Burrows was found unconscious and not breathing with a gunshot wound to the chest. Deputies and EMS worked to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
