From the Aberdeen Police Department:
Aberdeen, MD – Feb. 22, 2012: On Feb. 21 at about 7:45 p.m. patrol officers responded to the area of the 600 block of Holly Circle to investigate shots fired. As officers were checking the Holly Drive area, a call was received from a residence in the 400 block of Rogers Street reporting a male at that location with a gun shot wound.
Officers arrived on Rogers Street and found Alton B. Vaughan 23, of the 400 block of Rogers Street, suffering from a wound in his left side. Vaughan was treated by medics from the Aberdeen Fire Department and transported to John Hopkins Bayview Hospital where he was listed in serious condition.
Vaughan was driving a vehicle on Holly Drive when he was confronted by two unknown black males. One of the males ordered Vaughan to stop the second male approached and fired a shotgun striking Vaughan and the vehicle. Vaughan drove back to his residence where he collapsed. There is no further information on the suspects.
This is way too close to home. Aberdeen used to be a nice town to raise a family in. Not so much anymore.
Jim Jam…it still is a nice place. Most of these crimes are not random. I am sure the apd will solve this.
