Baltimore Driver Charged After I‑95 Road‑Rage Gun Threat, Arrested at Aberdeen Proving Ground

On a brisk Friday morning, around 9:40 a.m., troopers cruising northbound on I‑95 near mile marker 72 in Baltimore County got a call about a possible gun being brandished from a moving vehicle. The report set off a rapid response from the Maryland State Police Highway Gun Crimes Initiative.

According to investigators, the driver—a 25‑year‑old Baltimore resident named Adam Kuper—was behind the wheel of a white Mazda CX‑5. In the heat of a road‑rage confrontation, he allegedly pulled a handgun and pointed it at another motorist before bolting eastward, crossing into Harford County.

Thankfully, no one was injured during the episode, but the threat was enough to send police into high‑gear pursuit. The chase didn’t end on the freeway. Instead, it led the officers straight onto the fenced perimeter of Aberdeen Proving Ground, a sprawling U.S. Army installation.

Aberdeen Proving Ground police, working hand‑in‑hand with state troopers, found Kuper on the base. He was in possession of a loaded handgun at the time of his arrest. The apprehension was described as “without incident,” and Kuper was promptly transferred into state police custody.

Now, Kuper faces a stack of serious charges: first‑degree assault, second‑degree assault, using a firearm during the commission of a felony, among other related offenses. The case is still under investigation, and authorities are urging anyone with additional information about the incident—or about other highway gun crimes—to call 410‑538‑1887. Callers can remain anonymous.

Road‑rage incidents that escalate to gun threats are rare but alarming, and this episode underscores the importance of quick police action and inter‑agency cooperation. The Maryland State Police continue to monitor the situation, and updates will be posted as the legal process moves forward.
