Shooting near Towson University
Overview
On September 27, 2026, a shooting occurred near Towson University in the 8000 block of York Road, specifically near the Cardiff Hall Apartments. The incident initially resulted in an 18-year-old man sustaining non-life-threatening injuries, though subsequent reports indicated a man was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound to the chest following a car crash.
The shooting prompted Towson University to issue a campus-wide shelter-in-place alert, which remained in effect for approximately two hours while Baltimore County police investigated.
By September 30, authorities reported that 17 people, including three Towson University students and two juveniles, had been arrested on various weapons-related charges. During the investigation, police recovered five firearms, including an H&K rifle and several Glock handguns. Two of the handguns were allegedly equipped with rapid-fire conversion devices known as ‘Glock switches.’
