GAITHERSBURG, Md. — A Germantown man has been arrested after allegedly firing a rifle from his balcony and injuring three people during a dispute outside his home Wednesday night, Montgomery County police announced Friday.
Nicholas Lloyd, 44, is facing charges in connection with the July 16 shooting on the 20000 block of Shadyside Way.
Police said the incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute involving multiple people. Around 10 p.m., three men and a woman were gathered outside Lloyd’s residence when he fired at them from above.
One male victim was hit and later assisted by Lloyd, who came downstairs to render aid, according to investigators. That individual and a second man, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds, were both taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A third man suffered a grazing wound and was treated at the scene. The woman was not injured.
Officers from the 5th District responded to the scene shortly before midnight. Lloyd was taken into custody and charged.
