Less than a mile away, police are also investigating an apartment fire in the Unit Block of Shade Tree Road.

Here they found a person whom it is believed shot themselves.

A Baltimore County Police Department spokesman said: “What I can say is that we are investigating right now to see if we can determine, if or if not, both incidents are connected.

“It’s early on in the investigation but as more information is gathered, we can release it as appropriate.

Police closed off the area around the store on Back River Neck Road.
