SOLOMONS, Md. – On August 4, 2025, at approximately 10:08 a.m., deputies from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Bureau responded to the Southern Branch Library, located at 13920 HG Trueman Road in Solomons, for the report of a stabbing.

Upon arrival, deputies located an adult female victim suffering from two stab wounds to her upper back. Additional deputies quickly canvassed the area and located the suspect, identified as 33-year-old Eugene Terrill Harris of St. Leonard, across the street at the Solomons Fastop. Harris was taken into custody without further incident.

Detectives from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Bureau responded and assumed the investigation. Preliminary findings revealed the victim, accompanied by her service dog, had entered the library moments before the assault. Harris then reportedly produced a knife from his pocket and struck the victim.

The attack appeared to be unprovoked and random, and there is no known relationship between the victim and Harris. The victim was transported by Medevac to an area trauma center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Harris was transported to the Calvert County Detention Center and charged with the following: Attempted First-Degree Murder, Attempted Second-Degree Murder, First-Degree Assault, and Second-Degree Assault.
