After Downtown Towson Shooting, Residents Are On Edge
Officers on patrol in the the York Road area around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday saw people fighting, and then the shots were fired, police said.
TOWSON, MD — A shooting in a busy section of Towson has left many people on the edge, and Baltimore County police are still investigating. A video on social media showed the chaotic scene when what sounded like gunshots echoed in the air, and then there were screams of panic.
Baltimore County police say the shooting happened in the 500 block of York Road early Sunday morning. The area was busy with people enjoying a night out. Some of them were Towson University students. This was their first weekend back for the second semester.
“Someone could’ve died — I mean, there was a gun involved,” said Ashley Pena, who said she was in the area the night before.
