A barber in Orange County says a masked gunman entered his shop and shot one person multiple times.

Freddie Williams owns 6 West Barber Shop in downtown Middletown. He says the victim was a new employee working inside when the shooting happened around 5 p.m. Wednesday.

A male suspect, dressed in all black and wearing a camouflaged balaclava-style mask, entered through the front door and immediately fired several rounds from a black handgun at 17-year-old Nasir Andrades.

The suspect fled on foot eastbound on West Main Street, then got on a black electric scooter parked on South Street and traveled south onto Washington Street.

The investigation led police to the upper portion of Washington Street near Prospect Avenue, but the suspect was not found.

Williams says Andrades was conscious and alert when paramedics arrived and was rushed to Garnet Health Medical Center. No word on his condition.

Police say several others were inside the shop but were not shot at or injured. No arrests have been made. Officers and detectives are canvassing for surveillance footage and other evidence.
