Information About Saturday Night's Incident in Downtown Towson

I have had numerous conversations with police, business owners and leaders regarding the incident in Downtown Towson on Saturday night. I have also communicated with Towson University's President, Dr. Maravene Loeschke, even though the event seems not to be specifically related to Towson University's Homecoming.

I respect the Police Department's work as we sort out what occurred and what steps can improve public safety in the immediate future. Below is the official statement from the Police Department:

This was an isolated incident of an unusual magnitude.

There are many outstanding restaurants, businesses, and events in Downtown Towson, with many positive developments underway. We will continue to make a great Baltimore County community even better.
