(McHENRY, MD) – You can take the city kids out of the city but there still ends up stabbings and violence at a mountain-side college.
Maryland State Police report that a suspect is in custody and facing charges tonight after two people were stabbed at a Garrett County college.
The suspect is identified as Shamaine N. Moore, 19, of Baltimore, Md. She is under arrest and expected to be charged later tonight with attempted second degree murder, first and second degree assault, and reckless endangerment. Additional charges are possible. She was transported by ambulance, accompanied by troopers, to Garrett Memorial Hospital for treatment of what appears to be a laceration. After her release and processing, she will be taken to the Garrett County Detention Center to await an initial appearance before a court commissioner.
The two victims are identified as Daniqua N. Harrington, 20, of Washington, D.C., and Chandel J. Alexander, 18, of Baltimore, Md. Both victims were transported to Garrett Memorial Hospital for treatment of stab wounds. Alexander was treated and released. Harrington was later transferred to Ruby Memorial Hospital, where she continues to undergo treatment.
Just before 5:00 p.m. today, Maryland State Police at the McHenry Barrack received a call for a reported stabbing at Garrett College, in the 600-block of Mosser Road, McHenry, Md. Responding troopers found the two victims in the school cafeteria. EMS personnel responded to treat and transport the victims.
Information was developed by troopers about the suspect, who had fled the scene. Troopers responded to the on-campus dormitories and encountered the suspect coming out of a building. She was arrested without incident.
Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division investigators from the McHenry and Hagerstown barracks, as well as C3I Cumberland and the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit responded to conduct the investigation. The preliminary investigation indicates the suspect and both victims are students at the college. The three were in the cafeteria when an argument ensued. The suspect produced a knife and the two victims were stabbed during the altercation.
State Police investigators conducted numerous interviews of persons in the cafeteria where the incident occurred. Troopers recovered a knife in the cafeteria. The knife will be forwarded to the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division laboratory for analysis to determine if it was the weapon used in the stabbings.
Garrett County Sheriff’s Office deputies also responded to the scene and assisted. The Garrett County State’s Attorney’s Office was notified and briefed on the investigation. The investigation is continuing.

There is no security risk at this time. Garrett College will not tolerate this behavior and has responded with the appropriate sanctions according to the college student code of conduct.”

The Metropolitan Police Department seeks the public’s assistance in identifying three persons of interest in reference to an Armed Robbery of Establishment (Gun) which occurred in the 3800 block of Alabama Avenue, SE, on Saturday, January 3, 2015 at approximately 12:44 PM (NOTE: the time stamp on the video is inaccurate). The subjects were captured by the establishment’s surveillance cameras.
The investigation team has determined the area where the fire started was in the “Great Room” of the home. This is a large room that has ceilings approximately 19 feet tall. Sleeping and living areas of the home are connected to the great room. Within the great room were the normal expected furnishings in addition to a large Christmas tree approximately 15 feet tall.
The investigation team has concluded that an electrical failure ignited combustible material in the area which quickly spread to the Christmas tree and furnishings.
It has been reported that the Christmas tree had been cut down more than sixty days prior to the fire. After a tree is cut, it begins to dry. How quickly it dries depends on the type of tree, how it was cut and how often it is watered while on display.
