OWINGS MILLS, MD — Police said that a woman was killed and her 11-month-old granddaughter was injured Saturday in a crash in Owings Mills. The deadly crash occurred in the parking lot in front of Target, where the woman was standing holding her granddaughter when she was hit by a car, according to officials.
