Police release video as part of investigation into Olney double shooting

Detectives have put out surveillance footage in an attempt to identify a pair of gunmen who shot two men Monday afternoon in Olney.

The shooting happened at around 3:30 p.m. on the 6200 block of Mascher Street, according to police.

Authorities said a 24-year-old man was struck multiple times throughout his body, and he was hospitalized in critical condition. The other victim, a 23-year-old man, was treated for a gunshot wound to his hand, police said.

The video, released Tuesday, shows a white SUV stopping at Godfrey Avenue and Mascher Street. Two suspects armed with handguns are seen hopping out of the vehicle and firing multiple shots.

Both gunmen were wearing blue gloves, black masks, hooded sweatshirts and sneakers, according to investigators.

Police described the SUV as a 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue with tinted windows, a black pinstripe and five-spoke silver alloy wheels.
