Homicide 6000 blk of Blue Hills Rd 

This afternoon, just before 3:30 PM patrol officers were dispatched to the 6000 block of Blue Hills Road on a reported sound of shots. While in route the call was updated to a shooting.

As officers arrived they were directed to a vehicle in a parking lot. There they located an adult male victim and an adult female victim suffering from gunshot wounds.  Emergency medical personnel responded and pronounced the male victim deceased on scene. The female victim  was transported to a local hospital where she died a short time later.
