One person killed during arrest attempt in Frederick, Maryland, police chief says

BALTIMORE — A male was shot and killed by at the least one Frederick Police officer throughout an arrest try on Saturday.

Frederick Police Division Chief Jason Lando informed reporters at a press convention following the capturing that the male was armed with a knife and unwilling to relinquish his weapon when he was shot by police within the 1500 block of North East Road round 6:20 p.m.

“They had been dispatched to find or to try to find a person who was needed on a warrant for a parole violation,” he mentioned. “When the officers arrived on the scene, a younger woman answered the door. Subsequently, the officers entered to verify for the person.”

They discovered the needed male in a closet, Lando mentioned.

“Sooner or later, the male pulled a knife,” he mentioned. “Officers gave a number of instructions for the person to drop the knife. He didn’t. Subsequently, the officers fired photographs.” 

Lando didn’t point out whether or not the male was a person or a juvenile.

It’s unclear if a couple of officer shot the male.

“We had a number of officers on scene,” he mentioned. “Not each officer fired, however at the moment I can not touch upon what number of officers fired.”

Officers rendered help to the male and known as an ambulance, however his accidents had been too extreme and he died on the website of the capturing, Lando mentioned.

The Unbiased Investigation Division of the Maryland Workplace of the Legal professional Common will examine the capturing, Lando mentioned. 

“They’re both on the way in which or on the scene now,” he mentioned.
