BROOKLYN PARK, Md. — Police have charged a 70-year-old man in connection with a shooting in Brooklyn Park on Wednesday afternoon.

Officers responded to the unit block of Park Place at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday.

According to police, the caller indicated that a man had just shot another man inside a home.
