College Park police are searching for a gunman who shot three people in a residential neighborhood late Thursday afternoon.
Two men and a woman were wounded when shots rang out in the parking lot of the Windsor Forrest community just after 5:30 p.m., police spokesman Lt. Onika Manning said in a news release.
Police and fire crews were dispatched to the 2800 block of Godby Road and spoke with the victims. None appeared to suffer life-threatening injuries. Officials did not release any of their names.
Investigators at the scene confirmed that one of the victims was grazed, one was shot in the hand and the other was shot in the thigh, Channel 2 Action News reported. One resident told the news station she heard about 25 gunshots.
According to detectives, several men were in the parking lot when shots were fired. It was not clear what led to the shooting.
The suspect fled the scene before police arrived, running toward the South Hampton Estates apartment complex, Manning said. Officers canvassed the area with K-9s but were unable to find the suspect Thursday.
Investigators ask anyone with information about the shooting to call the College Park Police Department at 404-761-3131.
