For Immediate Release: Wednesday, May 16, 2018

Detectives with the 5th District Investigative Section are investigating a shooting that occurred near the intersection of Sage Way and Cinnamon Drive in Germantown.

On Tuesday, May 15, at approximately 8:13 p.m., 5th District officers responded to Sage Way and Cinnamon Drive for the report of an assault that had just occurred. Additional calls were received for the sound of shots.
