• Towson shooting probe uncovers stolen rifle, Glock switch handguns in apartment (wbal.com) — Police say a Sunday evening shooting just across from Towson University led investigators to a nearby apartment packed with a stolen rifle, four handguns—two with illegal Glock switches—and more than three pounds of cannabis. Seventeen people, including three Towson University students and several visitors, were arrested after officers traced suspects into the Cardiff Hall Apartments on York Road, where many students live off campus.
