US Shooting: 39-Hour Long Manhunt Ends After Gunman슬롯사이트™s Capture Who Shot Two Officers in Maryland

Fallston, February 10: A Maryland man was taken into custody early on Friday, ending a 39-hour manhunt during which he wounded two Baltimore County police officers in separate shootings and holed up in a wooded area behind a suburban shopping center, authorities said.

David Linthicum, 24, was already on the run when he shot the second officer and stole his vehicle Thursday night, police said. Officers eventually stopped him about 20 miles from that scene using spike strips. Linthicum fled into the woods but was surrounded by officers from multiple law enforcement agencies, with a helicopter illuminating the scene from above. Eight hours later and without further injury, they had him in handcuffs, authorities said.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천US Shooting: Mall of America in Minnesota on Lockdown After Reported Firing (Watch Video).

The ordeal began when police responded to a call about a person in distress at Linthicum's Baltimore County home Wednesday afternoon. While officers were interacting with him, he fired multiple rounds and fled the scene, police said. One officer was hit, hospitalised for treatment and released that night.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천US Shooting: Four People Shot Outside Washington Nationals Baseball Stadium.

Meanwhile, federal and state law enforcement joined the manhunt that would continue throughout the following day and night as Linthicum evaded capture.

Around 9:20 pm on Thursday, authorities warned residents to shelter in place in the area surrounding Linthicum's home, saying he had been spotted nearby. That's when Linthicum shot the detective during a brief encounter and fled in his vehicle, officials alleged.

Interim Baltimore County Police Chief Dennis Delp said early Friday that the detective was in stable condition, and had been wearing a ballistic vest.

슬롯사이트œHe's going to need a significant amount of reconstruction,슬롯사이트� said Dr. Thomas Scalea, physician in chief at the University of Maryland Medical System's Shock Trauma Center, who told reporters outside the hospital Thursday night that the detective was on life-support with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. 슬롯사이트œHe'll be with us for a while.슬롯사이트�

Once Linthicum was surrounded, officers used several 슬롯사이트œless lethal슬롯사이트� tactics to encourage him to surrender, including flash bangs. He tried to hide in a rocky area, but officers used a helicopter and drones to locate him before he was finally captured at around 5:45 am on Friday, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said.

슬롯사이트œEventually it culminated in our personnel going hands-on with him and physically, after some resistance, being able to place him into custody,슬롯사이트� Gahler said. Linthicum 슬롯사이트œsustained no injuries as a result of his arrest,슬롯사이트� but he was sent for a medical review 슬롯사이트œout of an abundance of caution,슬롯사이트� the sheriff said.

슬롯사이트œOur community is safer with this individual in custody where he belongs,슬롯사이트� Gahler added at a news conference. Linthicum was expected to be transferred to the custody of Baltimore County Police.

Gahler said police found a firearm in the recovered vehicle and Linthicum had ammunition on him when he was arrested. The area was being searched in case he dropped another firearm in the woods.

Harford County schools in the Fallston area were closed Friday. Some Baltimore County schools were also closed Thursday while the manhunt was underway.

Court records show Linthicum pleaded guilty to drug possession with intent to distribute in 2019 and received probation before judgment. Officials said there was no immediate indication drugs were involved in these latest crimes. When reached by phone Friday morning, a family member of Linthicum declined to comment and quickly hung up.
