(CNN) — A group of teens was shot outside of a dance studio in a Baltimore suburb, killing one of them and injuring five more.
Baltimore County Police are still searching for the suspects.
The young victims were leaving an event at Triple Threat Elite Dance Studio around midnight Sunday when they were approached by several suspects, police said.
An altercation ensued, and the suspects fired several shots at the teens before fleeing, police said.
Rickie Tyrone Forehand, 13, was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victims, two 12-year-old boys, a 14-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man, were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
All five of the surviving victims were released from the hospital later Sunday.
Baltimore County Police are investigating the shooting as a homicide. The department is offering a $2,000 reward for any information that helps arrest the suspects, according to a police statement.
“This incidence of gun violence is shocking and horrifying,” Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Jr., tweeted on Sunday. “It has no place in our communities and we refuse to allow it to become normalized. I join Baltimore County residents in praying for the family of Rickie Forehand, as well as a full recovery for all the other victims.”nn
