GERMANTOWN, Md. — Detectives with the Montgomery County Department of Police are investigating a shooting in Germantown.

At 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, officers received a call regarding the shooting in the 19000 block of Misty Meadow Terrace.

Investigators claim the suspect in this case has yet to be apprehended.

Detectives have not said whether or not the victim and suspect were known to each other.

There is no word yet as to a motive or what happened in the moments before the shooting.

Police are actively investigating the incident.
