Pikesville apartment residents "shocked" after double shooting leaves 1 dead

A 41-year-old man was killed and a 32-year-old woman was injured in a double shooting Tuesday night in Pikesville, Maryland, according to Baltimore County police.

Officers were called around 11:30 p.m. to the 3000 block of Iron Horse Lane, where the two adults were found with gunshot wounds.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman was taken to a hospital. Her condition is unknown.

Residents at the Vivant Woodholme Apartments described the shooting as "unnerving" and "shocking."

Some residents said they woke up Wednesday morning to a police investigation.

"The road was blocked off, and the crime scene unit was here," said neighbor Sarah Sassler-Cohn.

"I was surprised," neighbor Jim Snyder said. "I saw about three police cars. There wasn't anything like a siren or anything and there was also an ambulance."

Residents shared emails from the apartment complex's management team, including one that said information about the shooting was limited.

Part of the street, the apartment garage and the leasing office were closed Wednesday while police investigated.

Neighbors said they are not used to this type of violence and were assured that additional security measures would be put in place.

"The owner of the building has agreed to have a security guard starting tonight, so we'll see how it goes," Snyder said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at 410-887-4636.
