A shooting near Baltimore’s Penn-North subway station led to a closure that lasted several hours Tuesday, though officials reopened the station by the afternoon rush hour.

The single victim was conscious and alert when transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Maryland Transit Police. Investigators remained at the scene to interview witnesses and review surveillance footage, officials wrote in a news release.

The Maryland Transit Administration alerted riders around 1:30 p.m. that Baltimore Metro trains would bypass the Penn-North station due to police activity. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the station area. The police statement indicated it occurred “near” the station, but entrances were closed off with police tape.

Police blocked all entrances to the Penn-North station with crime scene tape. Bystanders spoke to each other about what they’d heard had happened. Others wondered how they’d catch the bus, with some even trying the elevator to the metro station.

As some officers protected the perimeter of the crime scene, detectives and commanders talked among themselves. Two detectives entered the subway station at one point.

“It’s crazy that it’s happening in broad daylight,” said Darryl Richardson Sr., who was walking near the scene. “It’s supposed to be a safe place, for transportation only.”

As police officials and detectives worked the crime scene, Richardson reflected on a multiweek stretch of increased gun violence across Baltimore. On Monday, two men died and another was injured in a shooting in Northwest Baltimore. Sunday night, five people were shot at a BP gas station in the 2800 block of Edmondson Avenue. Two died from their injuries.

Richardson said the violence has him concerned about his and his daughter’s safety.

“It’s crazy, man. We need to put these guns down and think about the kids,” Richardson said.

Kenny Ebron rushed to the metro station after hearing someone had been shot. Looking at the scene from outside the crime scene tape, he expressed frustration about violence in the community. “Another walk in the neighborhood,” he said.

Regarding the recent spate of mass shootings, he added, “it’s been out of control.”
