1 dead, 9 injured in Maryland shooting and fiery car crash: police

TOWSON, Md. (WDCW) -- One person has died and nine others were injured following a shooting and related fiery car crash in Maryland on Tuesday, police said.

Officers were dispatched to an intersection near Johnson-Fosbrink Funeral and Cremation Services in Towson around 7:15 p.m. after receiving reports of multiple gunshots in the area, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

A car crashed outside the funeral home, which appeared to be closed at the time, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said at a news conference.

"When officers arrived, they found a vehicle on its side and in flames," McCullough said. "Our officers searched the scene. They found multiple victims and alerted the fire department.

McCullough provided few details about the circumstances of the shooting but said investigators believe it was targeted and isolated.

Officials didn’t provide conditions for the nine victims who were hospitalized. They said it’s not yet clear whether all nine were shot. However, earlier in the evening, officials with the police department said in a post on X that the incident was "considered a mass shooting."

Some gunshots damaged the funeral home facade, and police received reports of gunshots in other locations as well, officials said. McCullough described the shooting as “an ongoing, rolling type of gun situation that led up to the funeral home.” The flaming car was found on its side when police responded to reports of gunshots.

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said his office will provide police and fire investigators with the necessary resources to solve the case.

“This is an incident that is shocking, particularly for those of us in Baltimore County,” he said. “These types of incidents are unheard of here, and so it really shocks the conscience.”
