One occurred on Moore Street, where police have identified a possible suspect vehicle. Officials are investigating a juvenile male with a gunshot wound related to the case. The second incident took place on Second Street and remains under review, with no updates on injuries or property damage. <br>The meeting was originally planned for the Log Cabin but has been moved to Pocomoke Middle School to accommodate an expected large turnout. It is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. on June 10. Mayor Nock said the gathering will bring together law enforcement, community leaders, and residents to directly confront the recent violence and seek solutions. Officials also announced plans to boost police presence in targeted areas, launch immediate violence prevention efforts, and strengthen partnerships with regional agencies. The mayor emphasized that these steps aim to ensure the safety of the community and work toward lasting change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Pocomoke-Middle-1024x257.jpg?resize=1024%2C257&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Pocomoke-Middle.jpg?resize=1024%2C257&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Pocomoke-Middle.jpg?resize=300%2C75&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Pocomoke-Middle.jpg?resize=768%2C193&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tvdelmarva.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Pocomoke-Middle.jpg?w=1461&amp;ssl=1 1461w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POCOMOKE CITY, Md. \u2014 Following two separate shooting incidents on Friday night, Pocomoke City Mayor Todd J.
