On October 2, Baltimore police shot and killed former Vamps and Skin & Bones bassist Steve Mach, 52, in his South Baltimore home after he allegedly pointed a pellet gun at officers responding to a distress call. According to the (pre-paywall online subscription) Baltimore Sun, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi stated that the police received a call shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday evening "from a person inside a house in the 3600 block of St. Victor Street in the Southern District, saying that another person in the house was armed." That person turned out to be Mach's roommate, who was concerned for his own safety; when responding patrol officers entered the Brooklyn house, they found Mach sitting on his bed with a weapon they claim he was asked repeatedly to put down. When Mach turned to face them with what turned out to be a pellet gun, he was shot by four-year veteran officer Joseph Schanamann (who was involved in a prior shooting from 2009 when a police dog attacked him). Mach was later pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospial. As per department policy, Schanamann is on routine administrative suspension while detectives investigate the shooting.
