Two men were killed and two others wounded in a shooting in Severn, Maryland, authorities said late Tuesday.
Police in Anne Arundel County responded to the shooting at around 7 p.m. and located two men suffering from gunshot wounds.
23-year-old Derrick Purcell Ahmad McDonald died at the scene while Mack Samuel Halloway III, 28, succumbed to his injuries at a hospital.
Two other victims, a 26-year-old man who was hurt by a metal fragment and a car passenger with a gunshot wound, were rushed to hospitals in non-life-threatening condition.

“We want to get to the bottom of it and locate the individuals that were responsible for this incident.”
