## Resource

A shocking stabbing outside Towson Library has sent ripples of fear through the downtown community, reigniting concerns about safety and public order. Just before the attack, a chaotic crowd on Allegheny Avenue led to arrests and forced a local business to shut down early amid property damage. Residents question whether increased police presence is enough, calling for deeper solutions to root causes of violence. In response, the Towson Chamber of Commerce is stepping up with grants to install cameras, improve lighting, and add security guards — a proactive push to restore confidence and safety in the heart of town as authorities continue investigating the incident.
