1 killed, 9 injured after shooting, fiery crash in Baltimore suburb of

BALTIMORE — One person was killed and nine others were injured after a shooting and fiery crash in the Baltimore suburb of Towson Tuesday night, authorities said.

Law enforcement responded around 7:15 p.m. to the 8500 block of Loch Raven Boulevard, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said in a news briefing.

“It appears to be a mass shooting incident,” McCullough told reporters. “We have multiple persons who were shot. Right now, we are determining the circumstances and the conditions in this case.”

Police response to shooting scene

The first arriving officer found a vehicle on its side, in flames, near a funeral home, McCullough said. Several gunshot victims were found in the area.

“There appears to be some type of incident that led to the vehicle crashing and catching on fire,” McCollough said. “Investigators are looking into the circumstances leading up to that.”

On Wednesday morning, police officials said nine people remain hospitalized. The identity of the person who was killed and the manner of death has not yet been released.

McCollough did not specify how many of the nine people injured were gunshot victims.

“Leave no stone unturned”

At this time, investigators believe this was an isolated and targeted incident, with no further threat to the community, he added. It’s unclear if any suspects have been arrested. There was no word on a possible motive.

“We will leave no stone unturned and we will dedicate every resource to this,” McCullough said. “We don’t generally see incidents like this in our community in Baltimore County. I assure you as your police chief that we will put all resources toward trying to clear this case.”

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was at the scene assisting police, as was the Baltimore County Fire Department.

“This is an incident that is shocking, particularly for those of us in Baltimore County,” said Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski. “These types of incidents are unheard of here, so it really shocks the conscience. However, we want our residents to know that we are, as always, fully committed to ensuring that both our fire and police departments have the full support and all the resources they need from the Baltimore County government to ensure that they bring this investigation to a conclusion.”

Baltimore County detectives worked through the night to interview witnesses and review any surveillance footage to identify a timeline of events. Officials are expected to hold a news conference on Wednesday.
