One man was killed, and two others were injured in a shooting in Silver Spring, Maryland, late Monday night, police say.

Just before 11 p.m. there was a burst of gunfire at the home. Officers went to the 14300 block of Fairdale Road, in the Fairland area, where they found three men had been shot, according to Montgomery County police.

One man died at the scene. His identity was not immediately released.

One of the victims ran from the scene to a nearby house on a different street. The owner of the home said the man was bleeding and banging on his door for help, so he called 911.

A second victim was found outside and taken to a hospital; his injuries were not life-threatening. A third victim was taken to a hospital. The extent of his injuries was not yet known, police said.

According to the dispatch call, another ambulance was called for an officer who was at the scene. His condition was not immediately known.
