A search is underway in Maryland for a suspect who shot at a State Police trooper who was conducting a traffic stop in Baltimore Tuesday morning, department officials said. 

The trooper suffered powder burns due to the proximity of the shooting, but was not shot, according to officials. The trooper was taken to shock trauma for medical treatment. 

The incident unfolded around 3:30 a.m. as the trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a gray Infinity at the intersection of Belle Avenue and Milford Avenue in Baltimore, police said. 

As the trooper approached the car on the driver’s side, the door opened slightly and shots were fired from inside, according to police. The trooper did not fire back, and the driver fled east on Belle Avenue. 

The suspect is believed to be driving a gray Infiniti with partial license plates, according to police. The suspect’s car has darkly tinted windows, damage to the front end and broken headlights. 

Baltimore Police and Baltimore County Police are working with State Police to identify the suspect, according to Mayor Brandon Scott and Police Commissioner Richard Worley. 

“This senseless act of violence against a law enforcement officer endangered both the trooper and our entire city. It will not be tolerated, and we will not rest until the person responsible is held accountable,” Scott and Worley said in a joint statement. 

“We are committed to using every available resource to help bring this individual into custody alongside our partners,” they added.

Anyone with information on the identity of the suspect is asked to call police at 410-653-4200.

This is not the first time a Maryland law enforcement officer has been injured during a traffic stop. 

In January, a Baltimore police officer was dragged by a car during a traffic stop downtown. The officer stopped a car after seeing that it had a suspended license plate tag, and after returning to the vehicle with the driver’s registration, he noticed what appeared to be a gun in the driver’s waistband.

The driver eventually fled, and the officer fired one shot, injuring the driver. He was later arrested and charged with assault and reckless endangerment.

(WBFF) — Protesters packed a Washington County Board of Commissioners meeting earlier this month, demanding to be heard as the board approved a resolution supporting the mission of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

During the meeting, officials warned attendees to keep signs down and threatened to suspend the session if disruptions continued. “If I hear one more whistle blow, I will suspend this meeting,” an official said.

The controversy erupted following the federal government’s $102 million purchase of a large warehouse in Williamsport. There are plans to transform the building into an immigrant processing facility that would house 1,500 immigrants. The facility would be one of 16 new facilities in the country.

Washington County leaders formally backed federal immigration authorities earlier this month. However, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown had other ideas.

On Monday, Brown filed a federal complaint against the Department of Homeland Security, writing, “In their zeal to purchase and convert the Williamsport Warehouse into an immigration detention facility, Defendants have run roughshod over federal law and trampled on the State’s interests.”

The complaint accused the federal government of ignoring environmental concerns and public input on the project. Brown said the lawsuit seeks to stop work and force additional review.

“We’re asking the court to halt construction of this facility. We’re asking the court to require a proper environmental review with full public input. And we’re asking the court to declare what the administration did here was unlawful,” Brown said.

County leaders, however, insisted their ability to intervene is limited. In a statement, they wrote:

Generally, the Federal Government does not need to respect local zoning regulations that conflict with federal mandates. Washington County is not able to legally restrict the federal government’s ability to proceed.

The county’s resolution supporting ICE passed, but the meeting ended amid loud outcry after a vote and a gavel slam.

Maryland continues to see snow accumulation this winter, with the latest storm pummeling parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Monday, Feb. 23. The storm brought blizzard-like conditions that blanketed major cities in snow, halted travel, closed schools and caused mass power outages.

The storm brought a number of cancellations in the Tri-State area, including Hagerstown.

Over 40 million people were under blizzard warnings from Maryland to Maine as the storm dumped 2 to 3 inches of snow per hour and brought winds of up to 70 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
