COCKEYSVILLE, MD — A man sitting in his driveway over the weekend fatally shot one of three masked men who approached him while armed, police said Sunday.
Baltimore County Police said in a release that the fatal shooting took place Saturday on the 10000 block of Greenside Drive in Cockeysville. Officers were called to the scene shortly after 10:30 p.m.
At the scene, authorities learned from the Cockeysville man that he called 911 after he shot at three masked men who were armed with a handgun and were threatening him. The man, in turn, brandished his own firearm and fired toward the three men.
A search of the area led to the discovery of 20-year-old Amon Walker, who police identified as one of the masked men. Walker died "a short distance away" from the scene of the shooting, police said.
During a search of the grounds, investigators also found a loaded handgun thought to belong to one of the gunmen.
The two other men involved in the incident suffered injuries during the altercation and were located by police while they were seeking treatment at local hospitals.
Officials did not detail the extent of their injuries but did state there is no active threat to the Baltimore County community.
To date, no charges were filed in connection with the shooting.
An investigation into the weekend incident remains ongoing.
