As officers 'entered the bedroom, they saw David Linthicum laying on his bed and holding a high-powered rifle.' Police later found the 24-year-old suspect in the woods.
FALLSTON, Md. — A Maryland man, whose father called law enforcement to report him suicidal, was taken into custody early 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.
“As they entered the bedroom, they saw David Linthicum laying on his bed and holding a high-powered rifle,” the documents say. When the detective exited his unmarked pickup truck and approached the suspect on foot, Linthicum raised a rifle and pulled the trigger, firing numerous rounds and striking the officer multiple times, according to charging documents. The officer returned fire as Linthicum stole the truck and drove away, the documents say.
“He and his fellow officers are true heroes, who unselfishly put their lives on the line to protect Marylanders,” Moore said. “We are grateful to have restored peace in the communities affected and vow to bring this individual to justice.”
