Police say the shooting happened around 1 p.m. outside a sub shop while the man, 82, and woman, 90, were waiting for a bus. Spokesman TJ Smith said they did not appear to be the targets of the shooter who fired from the shopping center across the street. Both were shot in the leg, and the woman suffered a graze wound to the head.
"There's not any words to describe how ridiculous it is," Smith said. "Those of us who know the city, bad guys do bad things and guys who get involved in the game know the risks that come with that. But at the same time there are rules of engagement and elderly folks are off-limits."
It's believed the shooter ran from the scene. Officers were just a block away. Anyone with tips on the shooter's whereabouts is asked to call homicide detectives at 410-396-2100.
"You know that this person shot somebody that could be your grandmother, your grandfather, your great-grandmother, your great-grandfather," Smith said. "This is unheard of."
CORRECTION: This story was edited to show a correction. We first reported that the two victims in this incident were walking toward the bus stop. They actually drove to the shopping center and were walking across the street in the direction of the bus stop and heading to a corner carry out store when this incident occurred. They were not catching the bus.
