Md. AG investigating Baltimore Co. police after fatal exchange of gunfire

Baltimore County Police shot and killed a Parkville, Maryland, man Friday night after responding to reports of a domestic disturbance.

Maryland’s Attorney General is investigating the officer-involved shooting.

Early reports from the Independent Investigations Division within Attorney General Anthony Brown’s office said police heard gunfire and a woman screaming as they arrived at 11:33 p.m.

As they approached the home, a man opened the door and fired at the officers.

Three officers returned fire and killed the man. When the officers entered the home, the woman was found dead.

The attorney general’s office will generally release the names of the officers and people involved in the incident within two days.

Officers on the scene were wearing body cameras and the video is currently being reviewed. The investigations division normally releases the footage within 20 days.

The shooting happened at a home on the 2700 block of Maple Avenue just inside the Baltimore beltway.

Montgomery County schools facing a $3 billion maintenance backlog, officials say

About 100 hours before students return to the classroom, Montgomery County Public Schools leaders issued a warning about what kind of buildings they’ll be walking into. The county school system, they said, is operating with an estimated $3 billion deferred maintenance backlog. “And growing every day,” said Andrea Swiatocha, MCPS’ deputy chief of facilities management. For students and teachers of Maryland’s largest school system, that can mean moldy ceilings, cracked surfaces in parking lots and HVAC systems that can’t be counted on to keep them cool.
