A violent shooting followed by a fiery car crash left one person dead and nine others injured in Towson, a suburb just north of Baltimore, on Tuesday night. Police were called to the scene after gunfire echoed through the neighborhood near a closed funeral home, where they found a car overturned and engulfed in flames.
Authorities have not yet revealed the names or conditions of the victims, nor confirmed if all nine injured individuals were shot. However, police believe the incident was targeted, with Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough stating, “It appears the individuals were connected, and this was an intentional, targeted event.”
The shooting, described as a “rolling gun situation,” led to the crash, and investigators are piecing together the details. The incident is described as a rare occurrence for the area, with Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski expressing his shock at the violence.
As the investigation continues, police are urging anyone with information to come forward, assuring the public that all necessary resources will be used to solve the case.
