Group Home Counselor Shot

(WJZ) RANDALLSTOWN, Md. The counselor's condition is upgraded from critical to poor. He's now expected to recover from a gunshot wound to the abdomen as police step up their search for a lone gunman.An early morning knock at the door in the 3700 block of Randallstown's Offett Road awakened a 46-year-old male counselor."When he went to that door, that was when he was shot. We don't know what the motive is for this. We don't have any suspects in this," said Baltimore County Police Corporal Mike Hill.The house is a state-sponsored group home for troubled boys. The counselor is a staff member who stays there with 3-7 teenagers every night. Investigators aren't ruling out anyone but tell Eyewitness News they aren't looking at any of the current residents as potential suspects.Managers of the group home declined on-camera interviews. As they were taking some of the teenagers away, they wouldn't confirm or deny that the home was being closed down.
