On March 6, 2023, at approximately 7:00 p.m. officers responded for a report of a shooting that just occurred in the area of Ritchie Highway and Ordnance Road in Glen Burnie. The victims informed officers that while they were stopped for a red light at the intersection waiting to turn left, a white ATV, a blue dirt bike, and a black dirt bike split the lane of traffic. As they were passing, the white ATV struck the victim's vehicle. The driver blew his horn and a verbal argument ensued. The ATV and blue dirt bike continued south on Ritchie and the victim followed them. As they were driving the victims heard a loud bang/noise and believed the operator of the black dirt bike threw something at their vehicle.

Neither of the passengers inside the vehicle was physically injured as a result of the shooting.
