BALTIMORE CO., Md. (WJZ) -- Police say one person is dead and another is in grave condition after someone opened fire at a funeral in Baltimore County Wednesday afternoon that was being held for an 18-year-old shooting victim.
The Baltimore County Police Department got a call just before 12:45 p.m. about shots fired in the 3900 block of Hollins Ferry Rd. in Lansdowne, near Mount Zion Cemetery.
Investigators found that there was a shooting after cars arrived at Mt. Zion Cemetery for a funeral. Shots were fired just before the service started after police say there was some kind of disturbance.
Two men were shot, according to police. One victim died at the scene, while the other injured man was transported to a hospital with life threatening injuries.
