Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department – 3^rd District Patrol Investigations Unit are investigating two reports of people being struck by a projectile from a pellet gun. Today, investigators are releasing surveillance video of the suspect and are asking for the public’s help in identifying him.

On Monday, January 29, 3^rd District officers responded to the 14100 block of Aldora Circle for the report of an adult male who had been struck by pellets shot at him while he was outside of his home. Approximately six minutes later, officers responded to the 13800 block of Outlet Drive for the report of two adult females who had also been stuck by pellets.
