A motorcycle driver died after crashing into a tractor-trailer Monday evening in Harford County, the Maryland State Police said. Shortly before 8 p.m., investigators said the motorcycle driver failed to yield and collided with the truck in the area of S. Philadelphia Boulevard at Old Philadelphia Road in Aberdeen.

Maryland State Police said 33-year-old Tyler Lingenfelter was driving his children when he crossed over the center lanes and into oncoming traffic where he crashed with a box truck. Cameron Lingenfelter died at the hospital. "I just want them both to be remembered as being loved. I want them to know they were loved," Chantella Lingenfelter, Tyler's wife and Cameron's mother, told WJZ.. Chantella Lingenfelter said her husband was taking the two youngest children to daycare.

Opening statement underway in trial for teen accused in deadly Harford County high school shooting
Opening statements began Wednesday in the trial for a teen accused of a deadly Harford County high school shooting. Jaylen Prince, 16, is being charged as an adult for shooting and killing a 15-year-old classmate inside a bathroom at Joppatowne High School in September 2024. Prince is facing several charges, including murder and assault. Jury seated in Joppatowne High School shooting trial A jury of eight women and four men was seated on Wednesday morning, after about 103 people were questioned. On Tuesday, the potential jurors were asked if they had attended or had family who attended Joppatowne High School and if they were concerned about viewing graphic images. About 72% of those potential jurors said they had knowledge of the case. Nearly 30% of them said they had strong feelings about cases involving minors. After the initial 12 jurors were seated, an additional four were picked as alternates. What happened during the Joppatowne High School shooting The shooting at Joppatowne High School on Sept. 6, 2024, left 15-year-old Warrent Grant dead. According to witnesses, Grant and Prince were arguing inside a men's bathroom when Prince took a gun from his backpack and shot Grant, killing him. During a bail hearing, prosecutors argued that Prince was a danger to the community, especially because the gun used in the shooting was not initially found. He was denied bail. During the investigation, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler expressed frustration with state laws, saying they limited investigators' ability to find the firearm. "There are families of every other student in that school, and the parents of the shooter, who have a right to know why we are all standing here today, and why there's a person who has been shot in one of our schools and we are not allowed to ask the person who committed that act because of this crazy legislation," he said in reference to Maryland's Child Interrogation Protection Act. School shooting sparks calls for security, leadership changes The fatal shooting at Joppatowne High School prompted fierce calls for increased security in schools. Some members of the community and the board of education called for Harford County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Sean Bulson to resign. "Dr. Bulson knew the many security shortfalls at Joppatowne High School and did nothing until a student was murdered within our walls," Board Vice President Melissa Hahn said. Since the deadly shooting, several changes have been made to school security at the local and national levels. Harford County schools ramped up security measures with increased funding, advanced weapon detection systems and bag size restrictions. The school shooting in Maryland and others across the nation at the time prompted the Biden administration to implement several gun violence reduction strategies and improve school shooter drills.

Jury selection begins for trial of Joppatowne High School shooting suspect
Jury selection began Tuesday in the trial of a 16-year-old student charged with fatally shooting a classmate at Joppatowne High School. The teen is being charged as an adult for the killing of 15-year-old Warren Curtis Grant. He was previously denied bail, with prosecutors arguing he remains a danger to the community. The shooting happened on September 6, 2024, just after 12:30 p.m. Joppatowne High student shot and killed Witnesses said two students were fighting inside the men's bathroom at Joppatowne High School when the 16-year-old allegedly grabbed a gun from his backpack - before shooting Grant, who died from his injuries. After the shooting, the suspect fled the school but was arrested in a nearby neighborhood after residents reported a suspicious person, according to police. The teen faces charges of first- and second-degree murder, assault, use of a firearm in a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm as a minor. Classes at the school were canceled on Sep. 20 to allow students and staff to attend Grant's funeral. Community reacts to fatal shooting, demands security changes After the shooting, community members, along with members of the Harford County Board of Education, called for the resignation of the Harford County Public Schools superintendent and other board members. An online petition demanding security improvements also surfaced after the incident. The petition called for school leaders to install metal detectors and require clear backpacks at all HCPS schools. A parent told WJZ that children signed the petition, "pleading for safety and to feel safe again." In Dec. 2024, the Harford County Government and the Harford County Board of Education announced a plan to allocate funding for security improvements at Harford County schools, including advanced weapon detection systems and other electronic upgrades, and more School Resource Officers (SROs). At Joppatowne High, students were temporarily prohibited from bringing backpacks and bookbags to school.
