On Sunday evening, Baltimore County Police Department responded to a shooting at Cardiff Hall apartments in the 8000 block of York Road, where one man was transported to a hospital for treatment.
The incident prompted Towson University to issue a campus-wide shelter-in-place order Sunday night, directing everyone on campus to close and lock windows and doors while police worked to "safely resolve this incident."
At 7:20 p.m., Towson Public Safety sent an alert reporting a shooting at 8013 York Road, stating "This is not a drill" and instructing the community to "Report anything unusual to the police."
Police are actively searching for suspects connected to the shooting, with additional police activity reported near Osler Drive; the victim's condition has not been released.
Baltimore County Police continue their investigation as this remains a developing story; officials ask that everyone avoid the immediate area pending further updates.
