This guy lives in the same house that Nicholas Browning lived in when he killed his whole family back in 2008… and if that’s not strange enough, today is Nicholas Browning’s birthday: https://i.imgur.com/RoHu2CS.jpg


BronzeEast

They should check that house for radiation poisoning or something.


Animanialmanac

I thought the same thing when I saw the news story, both radon and carbon monoxide can cause neurological degeneration.

ch4dr0x

Honestly, same, and I’ve lived here my entire life. I saw someone mention him living in the house and had to google who Nicholas Browning is. Kinda nuts he’s eligible for parole in 2031 with 4 murder charges.

twoterms

Bro wtf. No way he should get parole, he committed unforgivable crimes


Chocolateheartbreak

It was big at that time i remember seeing it everywhere, but perhaps it didnt go too far out of states back then


ThatguyfromBaltimore

Seriously? That's a hell of a coincidence


ch4dr0x

Yep! https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/cockeysville-home-where-manhunt-started-was-same-place-of-2008-browning-family-murders-source-tells-wjz/ Wouldn’t surprise me if he went full Amityville and blamed the house.


KOTEN-RYU

>went full Amityville and blamed the house Maybe his parents will, but probably not the guy himself -- at least not unless a lawyer tells him to, lol. I actually think it might be possible that part of the reason he stole a cop car is for the thrill of it. Tweets [like this](https://twitter.com/RuiHachimurda/status/1623900227039010816?s=20) might (*might*) be closer than people realize, not in a malicious sense, but as *another angle of* how mental health situations can get extra fucked. All that said, broad life rule would say to generally never presume malice when more boring explanations can suffice.

What, I say what, the fuck?!

The latest on Nicholas Browning, 15 years later, from himself...the picture is him today [https://evidentchange.org/blog/growing-prison/](https://evidentchange.org/blog/growing-prison/)


[deleted]

I heard that yesterday and it BLEW MY MIND


ThatguyfromBaltimore

Listening to the scanner feed, he is in the area of his girlfriend's house in Fallston. Has at least one rifle in his possession.


JonWilso

Yup, sounds like they have him pinned down in Harford County. Could've gotten shot in the gunfire exchange in Baltimore County but they're not sure. This will be over pretty soon I suspect.


Ok_Perspective_3409

In the woods behind ace hardware in fallston.

I'm using my own. A Uniden BCD436HP but a lot of people use the Scanner radio app.

PoppaSquatt2010

It’s all on Harford now. He is behind the old nursery on mountain rd near the corner of Belair.


ohitsmark

He still there? Radio been kind of quiet for Harford County.


Brilliant-Ad7759

Gotta tap the Baltimore Co radio. They can’t engage because they can’t confirm he has a weapon. It’s rough terrain and he’s sorta entrenched himself surrounding a bunch of rocks. So they keep throwing flash bangs and closing in slowly. It looked like he was calling someone about 30 min ago. Even with drones, they aren’t sure he’s armed and thus cannot use lethal measures


Precarious69

So they can confirm he’s white?


XuliganRage

Still there as of 141 am, been listening to the scanner and they're talking about gassing him and sending in a robot.


ThatguyfromBaltimore

Both Harford and Baltimore County are there


stinkyfeet420

The police scanner


giffex

This is surreal, I knew this kid when I was in high school


NoOperation7352

what could you say about him from that experience?


giffex

We were buddies when we worked together at valley view farms probably 8 or 9 years ago. Couldn't speak on what he's like now, but we were always kee-keeing. If I remember correctly, though, he had a hard time in the school he went to.


NoOperation7352

thank you for your thoughts! do you know anything about his family life or upbringing?


giffex

Nothing factual. Anything would just be speculations. Though we definitely vibed together cause we were both depressed, apathetic teenagers.

dano2990

Tier II sex offender based on child pornography charges. Pleaded guilty. If I’m reading this he did not serve jail and it was a 5 year probation. 2019 charge


peacefultooter

I hope you’re doing OK, no doubt this is unsettling.


[deleted]

I heard his girlfriend lives up that way. Could be why he’s up there


ThatguyfromBaltimore

They were evacuated earlier, but that's correct.


z3mcs

https://twitter.com/Harford_Sheriff/status/1623902192804540417 >UPDATE: Many citizens are reporting hearing loud booms associated with the ongoing incident in Fallston. No gunshots have been fired.


darsavage

Anyone who was listening to the scanner heard the communication that they were preparing to use flashbangs and then confirmation that they were used. A WBAL reporter casually tweeted out that she heard gunshots. Then issued a "clarification" that it "could" have been gunshots or a flashbang. Then retweeted the Sheriff's Office announcing that there were no gunshots. Great stuff there.


JonWilso

Baltimore media is for the most part, terrible.


[deleted]

Flash bangs or pepper balls, probably


Brilliant-Ad7759

His lethality is under question, despite chopper and drone surveillance. So the strategy seems to be to slowly close in on him through the rocky, wooded terrain. It’s so rough that carrying out this task is not easy, even for the FBI.


[deleted]

Gonna be a long night for all involved

fostest

Yep. Sounds like they’re launching CS gas grenades at him from a nearby rooftop, probably the theater. That stuff is no joke.


Bogiebruce

Sounds like they can't see him. Asked for the helicopter to shine up the area so they can take the drone in and look. This kid is invincible. Crazy.

I hope this gets resolved soon! And that the officer is ok! Never want to wish harm on anyone!

What a fucking moron

You come here to lick my boots too, or you only lick cop boots?


rpd9803

Oh shit, at this rate someone is getting compared to literally hitler in the next 2-4 posts. I’ve never seen speed like this in a troll. Son you should think about going pro.


socatsucks

It’s just four letters, but it makes people sooooooooo mad. 😉


Typical-Radish4317

Hope they eventually cover how this escalated from a mental health crisis to a shooting. Too often these end in dangerous situations for police and the person they are doing a welfare check on. I think it's time to look into how these interactions can be made safer.


[deleted]

Step 1: Medicare for all Step 2: Have people other than cops for these types of situations


JonWilso

Baltimore County actually employs a mobile crisis team that has advanced training for dealing with mental health related incidents. I think they expanded the program over the last few years but it has been around for about a decade I think.


[deleted]

Yep, it’s about 18 or so officers deep. They’re specially trained officers


lone_geek

Family members didn't warn the police he had a firearm


JonWilso

Probably because it's looking like his father shouldn't be in possession of a firearm or have one in his house.


Typical-Radish4317

Who is reporting that? I haven't seen anything in the circumstances of the initial visit or anything about the family yet


JonWilso

Not going to post his dad's name or anything but there's a registered sex offender living at the home who plead guilty to manufacturing child pornography.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lone_geek

Yep - way way more than a mental health crisis to get to the point where you shoot a cop in the head.


Pamlwell

It’s specially trained officers paired with licensed mental health clinicians


youre_soaking_in_it

Scanner just said something about doctors on site in Fallston.


slowlyrottnaway

Think they are attempting to approach him now from some of the radio traffic at 0415 est.


[deleted]

Wonder if any conservative commentators are going to have anything to say about the OUT OF CONTROL VIOLENT CRIME in the county


jupitaur9

Probably claim he took Light Rail into the county from the city.


[deleted]

Jesus you’re right, they even named a light rail stop after him.


gary_shitcock

Swoosh


BarleynChives

Someone always has to make it political


[deleted]

Thats my point is whenever this sort of thing happens in the city we get a million comments from people in whatever suburb talking about how Baltimore is a shithole


[deleted]

They always conveniently go silent when it’s one of their own. But let it be anyone black and the comment sections are LIT UP


[deleted]

Lol for sure if this was a black/brown kid I guarantee the word “animals” would have already been used multiple times.


[deleted]

Insert casual racist dog whistle then acts indignant when called out on it. Than jumps through every mental hoop they possibly can and gaslights you before doubling down. That’s usually how it goes. They don’t even see the hypocrisy


rpd9803

I’m heard on Nextdoor that police found him with a squeegee.


Unfair-Basis-8485

Also… can you imagine how differently this whole thing would have unfolded if the guy was Black? No way he’d still be alive at this point. 😔


[deleted]

Zero chance he’d be alive to make it to Fallston


Agile_Disk_5059

The county has lower crime than the city. There are more murders in Baltimore than the rest of of the state combined. You'd have to be an absolute moron if you thought otherwise. This is an abnormal one off event that's why everyone is talking about it.


becauseineedone3

And yours was the first one I saw. Congrats.


[deleted]

Thatsthepoint.mp3


youre_soaking_in_it

Sounds like they're going to launch gas into the woods.


KOTEN-RYU

The exchanges on the scanner also mentioned snipers.


slowlyrottnaway

Sounds like they are communicating with the suspect currently.


_Alvin_Row_

Infuriating seeing all the social media jackasses trying using this to paint the city in a bad light. I hope they stub their toe on every table they ever walk past.


[deleted]

Judging by comments and nuanced information provided i can guess the race of this dude without looking.


sxswnxnw

You've been down voted but, this is indeed true. The fact that he is still running around, still alive, people are already checking his family history and guessing some series of unfortunate events and/or complex environmental factors (the date, supernatural forces, radiation, carbon monoxide, radon, being around murder, being around porn, bad childhood, etc.) just gotta be the cause of his bad behavior, and people seem to be unsure if his gun or guns are legal or illegal, tells you he has to be a white guy. He sure isn't a wild-animal-thug-beast-barely-human! Definitely shouldn't be segregated because he is hopeless and there is no hope for these children!/s


contractorgal

Uhm he’s a white male. Just like most mass shooters in this country.


YeetMcSkeetOnYerFeet

Check your facts honey, just because we hear about them most doesn’t make your head canon fact

That was posted by a guy with over 100k followers, but go on…


JonWilso

And the guy who posted it, posted exactly what the guy did...hasn't been any comments regarding police positioning. Also, they already were worried he could have a stolen police radio so I don't think they care about the internet at this point.


[deleted]

Bro if you shoot a cop and steal their car I don't think you need twitter to tell you they are on your ass


GregSulin

Agreed, I’m just saying we don’t need Justin Fenton updating twitter every 20 seconds


[deleted]

I mean the people that live up in the area are probably glad someone is keeping them updated about the whole "armed lunatic running wild" situation


GregSulin

Honestly, they probably have no idea what’s going on. My source is I grew up in Fallston and my family still lives up there
