Upon arrival, investigators found one 19-year-old who suffered a significant stab wound and had to be airlifted to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center by state police, officials said. Further investigation found two other teen victims who were rushed to area hospitals for treatment and evaluation of their injuries.
According to the Carrol County Sheriff's Office spokesperson, the investigation led detectives to identify a 17-year-old boy from Olney as a suspect, and he was quickly apprehended.
