According to WBALTV:
There are multiple victims of a shooting Thursday morning in business area in Aberdeen, Harford County Sheriff’s Office officials said.
Deputies were called to a reported shooting at 9:09 a.m. along the 1500 block of Perryman Roads, in the area of Spesutia Road, officials said.
White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company said its paramedics are responding to the incident.
A witness who identified himself as “Bo” described the scene:
“We were like two blocks over when we got completely bombarded by — I’m not exaggerating — 20-30 cops, and then ambulances and everything started pouring in. At that point, they blocked us in and we tried to turn around,” Bo said. “They’re telling us that there is an active shooter.”
Bo, who said he lives on Aberdeen Proving Ground, said the area is wooded and has nearby schools.
“This happened inside the warehouse (on Perryman Road),” Bo said. “The called a bunch of EMS and they told us they were carrying out another five victims.”
Praying for them. Absolutely awful.
Bo said the response from police and paramedics was swift.
“We didn’t know what to do. They were coming in groups of 10. I am not joking, and they were running people off the road. There was even an accident and a head-on collision dead in front of us at a stoplight because they were literally throwing people off the road. They were going,” Bo said.
Motorists are asked to avoid the area.
We’ll keep you updated.
