The shooting happened around 9 a.m. in the 2500 block of Blueridge Avenue in Wheaton.  Police said a man was found dead at the scene and four men were seen fleeing the area toward Taber Street.

Montgomery County Public Schools reports the shooting caused two schools in the area, Arcola Elementary and Odessa-Shannon Middle School, to shelter in place for a short time, but those shelter in place orders have since been lifted.

Investigators have not released any information about what led up to the shooting Tuesday morning. 

No arrests have been made. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Montgomery County Police Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
