USA TodayANNAPOLIS, Md. — Police say an officer is in critical condition after being shot Friday morning by a suspect that remains on the loose.
Anne Arundel County Police say the officer was transported to Baltimore Shock Trauma after being shot by a suspect near a 7-Eleven on College Parkway.
According to police spokesman T.J. Smith, the officer had arrived at the business on his own at approximately 2 a.m. when someone there told him a person was acting suspiciously. Smith said the officer approached the person, a struggle ensued, and they both ran on foot away from the store. Witnesses described hearing a gunshot.
The officer called for backup and arriving officers found him shot in the upper body, according to Smith.

Smith describes the suspect as a black male, approximately 5’4″ to 5’8″ and between 20 and 30 years old. He was wearing dark pants that were not jeans and a black hoodie.
Well they kill three per day, so there’s still a lot of catching up to do.
Is there video of this? There’s cameras everywhere. Probably the 7-11 had a camera, the police dash cam camera, and possibly some people at the 7-11. Video, please?
interesting
a guy gets killed by a cop the other day,, and today a cop gets shot ,, could be a trend..you would hope it would wake them up, but with their low IQ i kinda doubt it
wonder when the wake up call gets answered ?
maybe they should stop killing us?..maybe they need to be disarmed and learn to interact with out superior force with no recourse .
I fear for my life because of cops

Just ONE gunshot?
IDIOTS!!! You had the upper hand, and DIDN’T FINISH THE JOB!!!
Hopefully the Devil will take him home anyway, despite your ineptitude.
Could it be that folks just had enough?
