Shooting Closes Rt. 50 Near D'ville

From the Capital-Gaztte:
      The Anne Arundel County Police Department says there was a police-involved shooting on eastbound U.S. Route 50 on Friday around 10 p.m. The shooting took place right before Maryland Route 424, also known as Davidsonville Road, in Davidsonville. 
      The county fire department had responded to a call at 9:44 p.m. of a pedestrian possibly struck by a vehicle. When emergency medical responders arrived, they did not find any vehicles that appeared to be involved in an accident, but they were immediately approached by a man they found on the right shoulder of the road. He pulled out a knife and lunged toward the emergency responders, Sgt. Jackie Davis, a police spokeswoman, said shortly after midnight. Fire personnel called for police, and county and state police officers quickly responded. The suspect failed to comply with the officers’ orders to drop the knife and get on the ground, the department reported on Facebook around 1 a.m. Saturday. One of the officers, a 20-year veteran of the department assigned to the Bureau of Patrol, fired one round and shot the man, the post said. He was taken to an area hospital and his condition was unknown, Davis said. It was unclear whether he was also struck by a vehicle and injured. Davis did not identify the man and could not provide any description of him. No police or emergency medical responders were injured, she said. Davis said officers continue to investigate. Detectives were still on scene after 1 a.m. Saturday, the post said. Anyone with any information is asked to call the homicide unit at 410-222-4731 or the tip line at 410-222-4700. Officials closed all three eastbound traffic lanes and the shoulders, as well as one of three westbound traffic lanes and one shoulder. Davis said the lanes were likely to remain closed overnight.
