Cambridge, MD - In the early morning hours of July 20, 2024, Cambridge police officers were dispatched to a potential shooting in the 800 block of Pine St in Cambridge, MD. The alarm was triggered by the city's Shot Spotter alert system, which identified multiple gunshots in the area.

On arrival, officers discovered evidence of a shooting, with blood on the roadway. They traced the blood trail back to a nearby residence on Moores Ave in Cambridge, MD.

At this location, officers found a 19-year-old male from Easton, MD, who had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. The officers promptly provided first aid, applying a tourniquet to the injury.
