One man has injuries that are not life-threatening. Metro Transit Police are working to identify and locate the shooter.

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Metro Transit Police (MTPD) are investigating a shooting Saturday morning near the Silver Spring Transit Center. 

Police said officers from the MTPD were called to the 8400 block of Colesville Road around 9 a.m. following calls about shots fired.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man shot at the Silver Spring Metro station.

Investigators say there was an altercation between two individuals that led to a person taking out a gun and shooting a man before police arrived. The man was taken to the hospital for injuries that are not life-threatening.

The shooting caused closures and delays — including shuttle buses and trains — amid the police investigation.

The investigation is ongoing and police are looking for the shooter.
