Police Investigate Assault, Shooting In Columbia

COLUMBIA, Md. (WJZ) ―

Howard County Police are investigating an assault and shooting that occurred overnight in Columbia.

The victim, 24-year-old Wayne Ronald Hamlin, of the 5900 block of Harpers Farm Road, was treated and released from Shock Trauma Sunday morning for a gunshot wound to the shoulder and facial lacerations. 

Preliminarily, it does not appear this incident is related to the deadly shooting of Jason Batts, 23, in Columbia Friday night.

Police were called to the 5800-block of Thunder Hill Rd. for shots fired at 1:12 a.m. Sunday..  Investigators believe two groups of people became involved in an altercation outside, during which Hamlin was injured.  Detectives have not confirmed the cause of the dispute.

Detectives are asking anyone with information to call police 410-313-3200.
