The Frederick Police Department is looking for a man who invaded a home at 207 S. Jefferson St. early this morning, according to police. Officers went to the scene about 2:49 a.m. after shots were reportedly fired, police stated.
A white man with dark hair, believed to be named Kevin, had forced his way into the home, police said.
The man allegedly took money from a resident, who fired two shots at the man, Lt. Clark Pennington, police spokesman, said. Police do not believe the man was injured.
Witnesses said the man was wearing shorts and a dark shirt, Pennington said.
Officers searched the area but did not find the man.
Officers are investigating whether the same man may have committed similar crimes in the past at the same location, Pennington said.
According to Robbie Snyder who lives in another building on the property, a white man of medium build, between 25 and 30 years old, broke into his mother and his uncle’s home between 2:30 a.m. and 2:45 a.m. by breaking a lock and window in the back door. Snyder said both residents are in their 80s and his uncle is wheelchair bound.
His uncle fired two shots from a 38-caliber revolver at the intruder who then fled the scene, Snyder said.
This is the third time the man has broken into the home and the fifth time he has been there, Snyder said. The first two times Snyder said his uncle gave the man named Kevin money after hearing a "sob story."
The man broke into the home in February and threatened Snyder’s uncle before getting additional money, Snyder said. The man also broke in in late May or early June, Snyder said, and Frederick police were called after each break-in.
“git” should be get.
Somebody needs to spend some time on the range. Of course if it was a snub-nose .38, all it’s good for is shooting yourself - and even then you might miss.

Where I come from “git” is correct! LOL!
I would like to spend more time at the range but I don't want to use up my stockpile of ammo.
The better you shoot, the less ammo you need.
Oh, there’s some out there. But it’s expensive (and Russian at that).

You need a bigger stockpile.
Since the shooter was wheelchair-bound and in his eighties, not shooting himself is a major accomplishment. Both my parents are in their eighties and physical ailments preclude them from even lifting a firearm, let alone shooting it.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I realize the uncle is probably also white; and I'm really glad the resident was not willing to let himself be a victim, even if he is old and disabled. He probably was a Marine. That said, this is the first thing that popped into my mind:
I'm gonna get me a shotgun
Kill all the whiteys I see...
I'm gonna get me a shotgun
An' kill all the whiteys I see!
Gonna kill all the whiteys I see,
An' maybe they won't bother me!
I'm gonna get me a shotgun
Kill all the whiteys I see!
