Elkton Shooting Investigation Uncovers Blood, Casings but No Victim

ELKTON, MD—A shooting in Cecil County led police to a disturbing scene with blood and shell casings but no victim at the location. The Cecil County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of shots fired on Thursday in the unit block of Appaloosa Trail in Elkton.

Minutes after the initial discovery, law enforcement was informed that the victim had been dropped off on Taft Street in Aberdeen and was eventually transported to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
