WASHINGTON — A juvenile female was shot Saturday morning in Laurel, Md. 

At 12:35 a.m. Saturday, Laurel police officers responded to the area of Rosemore Lane and Cavan Court for the report of a shooting, police said.

When they got there, police found one victim -- a juvenile female suffering from one gunshot wound. The victim was taken to a hospital and is undergoing treatment, police said.

Witnesses said they saw a dark colored SUV flee the area after the shooting. Detectives are trying to identify the occupants of the vehicle, and are asking for the public's help. 

Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call (301) 498-0092.

The shooting of this juvenile female happened just one day after a father and son were found dead with gunshot wounds in Northeast, D.C.

MPD Patrol Chief Lamar Greene said officers initially responded to a call for a welfare check at 1105 Queen St., Northeast around 5:45 p.m. on July 19. When they arrived, police found the father and son dead. 

Police haven't confirmed the identity of the victims.

The shooting of this juvenile female also comes two days after an 11-year-old was shot and killed in Southeast, D.C. Karon Brown died after apparently getting involved in a fight with both adults and kids in the 2700 block of Naylor Road on Friday.

A good Samaritan picked him up and tried to help, but a shirtless man with a gun who had been in the scuffle ran to the car, and shot at Karon.
