According to a police department source speaking under condition of anonymity, the shooting incident was reported during a soccer game at Annapolis' Wiley Bates Heritage Park, located behind a senior center at 129 S Villa Avenue, at approximately 3:47 p.m. 

The Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis is also in close proximity.

 "An 18-year-old male was found near the bleachers, having sustained a gunshot wound to the head," the source said.  "He was taken to a shock trauma center for medical attention."
