HANOVER, Md. - Authorities have identified the three men arrested after an alleged attack at Arundel Mills Mall on Saturday led to a police pursuit that ended in Baltimore County.
Brandon Eric Edwards Jr., 21, of Severna Park, Daevone D’andre Johnson, 24, of Glen Burnie; and Elijah Amontay Fisher, 20, also of Glen Burnie, were taken into custody Saturday night.
What we know:
Police were called to the Burlington Coat Factory at the mall around 5 p.m. for reports of shots fired. An adult man told officers he was leaving the store when several people approached and began assaulting him. During the struggle, the victim tried to draw his handgun, and the suspects attempted to take it. Police say the gun discharged during the fight, striking one of the suspects.
The suspects fled the mall in a vehicle. Officers later located the vehicle in Glen Burnie, and a pursuit began when the suspects drove onto northbound Interstate 97 into Baltimore County.
