When the girl and her mother opened the front door, police said, Blue exited his vehicle, crossed the street, and said, "Hey, y’all wanna fight my daughter? Try to run from this."
Blue then pulled out a gun, according to police, and opened fire, striking the girl in the arm.
Detectives executed a warrant for Blue’s arrest, and he was transported to central booking.
According to Maryland Case Search, Blue was charged with four counts each of first- and second-degree attempted murder, four counts each of first- and second-degree assault, one count of using a firearm while committing a violent crime and several handgun-related charges.
Blue is scheduled to appear in court May 9.
