Man shot in Montgomery County, Maryland

GERMANTOWN, Md. — Police are investigating after a man was shot in Germantown Friday night.

According to the Montgomery County Department of Police, officers were called to the 19500 block of Gunners Branch Road for reports of a shooting.

Investigators say a man was injured in the shooting. The extent of his injuries is unknown at this time.

There is no word on any suspect description. 

Police have not released any information regarding a possible motive or what may have happened in the moments leading up to the shooting. 

"MCP 5th District officers are on scene of a shooting in the 19500 block of Gunners Branch Road in Germantown," the police department said in a tweet Friday night. "More information will be released when it is available."

The lawyer for the mortician accused of shooting up a 10-year-old’s funeral claimed Friday that he acted in self-defense. Police blame a long-running feud between rival funeral homes for Tuesday’s shooting at Washington National Cemetery in Suitland. 

But a District Court judge in Upper Marlboro ordered Wilson Chavis held without bond, saying anyone who would take a gun to the burial of a child and open fire – twice – is clearly a danger to the community.
