A child is dead after a domestic-related shooting in Rosedale that left three other people injured Tuesday morning, county police officials announced.

Of the four people shot, two were children and the others were a woman and a man. The man is believed to be the suspect, police say, and sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Officers arrived at 6 Breslin Court around 6:34 a.m. to what Police Chief Robert McCullough said was the aftermath of a domestic-related shooting.

The victims, who police did not identify, were taken to a hospital, McCullough said in a news conference Tuesday. He declined to state the condition of the victims.

The shooting, which happened in a residential nook of Rossville Boulevard by a church and senior home, comes a week after Baltimore County was rocked with a mass shooting in Towson that killed one and injured nine others. Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. said that shooting “shocks the conscience,” adding that such crimes are rare in Baltimore County.

Homicides in Baltimore County have decreased since 2023, according to police data. This year, the county logged 12 homicides through August, police data shows, a 43% decrease from 21 homicides in the same period last year.

By Tuesday afternoon, four Baltimore County Police vehicles were still posted in the parking lot of Ross Ridge Apartment Homes. A blitz of officers filed in and out of the second-floor apartment where the shooting occurred with a large white plastic tarp.

Jamie Black, who has lived on the top floor of the three-story building since July, said another downstairs neighbor scrambled upstairs that morning when they heard shots.

“The woman who got shot … knocked on my neighbor’s door. She answered and she waited in there until [police] came,” he said. “We can’t even get a break on Christmas Eve!”
