A retired D.C. police officer shot and killed a man during an apparent attempted home invasion in Calvert County, Md., Sunday night.
The former officer heard several loud bangs on his front door in the 3600 block of Harlequin Court in Huntingtown before 10:30 p.m., according to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. He grabbed a handgun and answered the door, finding two people there. One brandished a weapon and both made aggressive movements toward the homeowner, who fired shots at the two men in fear of his life.
The Calvert County Sheriff’s supervisor who arrived first at the scene found one man who appeared to be dead on the ground next to the driveway. The second man fled in a vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. They are still looking for him.
Anyone with information about the cast should call authorities at 410-535-1600, ext. 2596.
