A suspect has not yet been arrested following a shooting that occurred on the 8000 block of York Road on Sunday evening, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

An 18-year-old male unaffiliated with the university was located near Campus Drive and was transported to a nearby hospital after sustaining a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, according to Baltimore County Police.

County police also said students and residents should “expect an increased police presence and with patrols throughout the area.”

It is unknown if there is a relationship between the two individuals, according to Baltimore County police.

“We do not believe this shooting is related to anything in reference to Towson University,” said Public Information Officer for Baltimore County Police Trae Corbin during a live press release.

Corbin also said a unit was cleared on the 8000 block of York Road to “determine that a suspect wasn’t there.”

A campus-wide shelter-in-place was issued at approximately 7:38 p.m. and was lifted at 9:57 p.m.

This is an ongoing investigation.
