A shooting occurred Tuesday morning at a Royal Farms store in Baltimore, leaving an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD).

Officers responded to a report of a shooting around 5:20 a.m. in the 1500 block of Russell Street, BPD said in a statement. The Royal Farms is across the street from Baltimore's Horseshoe Casino.  

On the scene, officers discovered an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment. 

Because of the victim's injuries, homicide detectives were called in to investigate the shooting.  

Another shooting at same store late last year

The same Royal Farms was the scene of a double shooting about eight months ago. One person died in that incident. 

A suspect has not been named in the case and police are asking the public for help with the investigation. Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact detectives at 410-396-2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.

Some customers who spoke to CBS News Baltimore said they were surprised to learn about the latest shooting, as well as the one that happened late last year. 

Hakim Abdurrahmand of Baltimore said, "All this is new to me. This is my first time hearing of any type of shooting at this Royal Farms. I thought it was all right."

Robin Offutt of Washington, D.C., also reacted. "Well, I'm afraid to be honest with you. I'm glad I wasn't in the midst of it," she said.
