Driver Shouted 'Jews' Before Shooting in Mount Washington: Police

The Baltimore County Police Department is investigating what it is calling a “bias incident” that occurred Thursday evening near Mount Washington.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., a vehicle approached three young men walking in the 6800 block of Old Pimlico Road, according to a report from the Baltimore County Police Department. The driver held a weapon outside the window and yelled “Jews, Jews, Jews!” before firing what appeared to be a BB gun or air gun in their direction, the report said.

Officials found a hole in the glass window of the nearby Bais Hamedrash and Mesivta, according to the report. The building is reportedly a private Jewish high school for boys.

The hole was from a BB or pellet—not a bullet—according to Officer Shawn Vinson of the Baltimore County Police Department.

The three pedestrians were not hit and did not seem to be injured, police said.

The driver left the area, and police are asking for help locating him. He was driving a black and white Toyota Corolla or Prius with tinted windows, according to police. The vehicle was black on top and white on the bottom, police said. He had approached them from Green Summit Road, according to the report.

Anyone with information may contact the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020.
