Nine people were injured and one killed in a mass shooting that took place on the 8500 block of Loch Raven Blvd. in Towson on Tuesday evening, Baltimore County Police said.
Around 7:12 p.m., officers were dispatched to the intersection of Loch Raven Boulevard and White Oak Avenue, at the Johnson-Fosbrink Funeral Home, where they found a car flipped and on fire, and multiple victims, Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said during a news conference following the incident.
Police were still determining how many people had been shot Tuesday night, McCullough said. Multiple gunshots were visible in the facade of the funeral home building, and shell casings were on the scene, he said.
One victim was pronounced dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound, police said.
The majority of nine victims who were transported to hospitals had gunshot wounds, police said in a news release late Tuesday.

There should be a law!
Last night's reporting indicated a car first crashed into the funeral home before the suspect started shooting.
"At this time, multiple emergency crews and agencies are on the scene in Towson, Maryland, located in Baltimore County, responding to a mass shooting and mass casualty incident. Reports indicate that a car crashed into a funeral home before the suspect initiated a shooting spree, leaving seven people injured and multiple fatalities. Neighbors reported hearing more than a dozen gunshots during the incident. Officials have described the situation as highly active, with the potential for additional casualties as more information comes to light. The exact motive remains unclear as this is a rapidly developing situation."

Comments from another source - appears to be another "Yogi" culture...
Used to be a nice place to call home before all the section 8's were relocated there. Now Towson is just an extension of Baltimore City
WBAL is saying it's Parkville, which generates its share of criminal activity.
That area was once great and now it's full of section 8 housing and nothing but trouble. Why do you think the Bel Loc Diner closed and then Starbucks? The thugs, hoodlums and low lifes have taken over.
