BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Two people remain hospitalized after a shooting involving an off-duty officer Thursday evening in Parkville, authorities said Friday.

The unidentified victims were taken to a hospital for treatment of their injuries. There was no update on their statuses as of Friday afternoon.

No details about the extent or nature of the officer's involvement in the incident were provided.

Neighbors told WJZ they heard about a dozen gunshots Thursday evening and looked outside their window to see a man lying in the middle of the intersection and another standing nearby holding a gun.

"I wouldn't expect there to be gunshots considering the neighborhoods are calm and nice there are families around," said resident Don Carroll.

From Carroll's window, he says he could also hear the cries of a mother screaming out for her son.

"A woman ran up and was saying 'my son, my son, that's my son,'" he said.

Detectives continue to investigate what led to the shooting, the spokesperson said, and their findings will be handed over to the State's Attorney's Office.

No charges were filed in connection to the shooting as of Friday, police said.
