Newsman: A mass shooting in Baltimore County, Maryland, left one person dead and nine others wounded — and a vehicle engulfed in flames, police said.
Baltimore County Police Department officials responded to the area of Loch Raven Boulevard in Towson around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday following multiple reports of a shooting.
“When officers arrived, they found a vehicle on its side and in flames,” Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said during a press conference. “Multiple victims were discovered, and the fire department was alerted to provide assistance.”

“This appears to be intentional,” McCullough said. “We believe the individuals involved knew each other, and there is no ongoing threat to the public.”
