Maryland AG's Office Investigates Fatal Hagerstown Police Shooting; Man Died Oct. 23
On October 24, the Independent Investigations Division of the Maryland Attorney General's office announced it is investigating a fatal police-involved shooting that occurred in Hagerstown on October 23. Preliminary findings show that at about 4:50 p.m. on October 23, Hagerstown firefighters were handling a fire at an apartment on Randolph Avenue when they encountered an adult man inside and requested help from the Hagerstown Police Department. Officers set up a perimeter around the home; a man ran out of the house toward the officers, who gave verbal commands, used a Taser and then shot him. Medics took the man to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Two knives were recovered at the scene, and no officers were injured. The division said the officers involved were wearing body cameras, and that footage is generally released within 20 business days; the names of the deceased and the officers are generally released within two business days, subject to extension if needed.
The division asked anyone with information, including cellphone or private surveillance video, to call (410) 576-7070 or email [email protected]. The investigation is ongoing, and the full sequence of events has yet to be released.
