Officers responded around 12:07 p.m. to the 1800 block of West Grand Avenue on a reported shooting, according to a Montgomery County Regional Dispatch supervisor.

News Center 7’s Malik Patterson said that caution tape surrounded the neighborhood for several hours.

He said all their attention was on a home, and there were three different layers of scene tape up to make sure no one got close.

In a 911 call obtained by News Center 7, a caller said their neighbor was shot on Saturday afternoon.

“The house next door. I’m not sure your address is, but my neighbor just got shot,” the caller said.

The man further explained to dispatchers how he found out.

“I pulled up to the house, and my neighbor was hollering from his house,” the caller said.

Patterson said that the caller and his roommates went over to help the man.

“Yeah, my roommate and my friend are helping him out right now, talking to him,” the caller said. “He’s conscious. He’s in a lot of pain in that shape.”

The caller told dispatchers that this man was the only one who was shot. But they had no idea where a possible shooter could be.

“How many shots are there?” the dispatcher asked.

“One,” he answered. “Put pressure on the wound.”

Patterson said this was a busy intersection for several hours on Saturday.

Family and friends stopped by to get updates.
