A suspect sought in the shooting of two Maryland police officers was in custody Friday morning, authorities said.
He'd been surrounded by law enforcement after fleeing from the vehicle he'd stolen from a detective he shot Thursday night, authorities said.
"We believe he is armed with at least one rifle," Gahler said."It's not so easy as just walking up and putting him in handcuffs."An officer was shot Thursday night during a search for 24-year-old David Linthicum, who authorities said wounded a different officer while firing at police the previous afternoon.
But Dr. Thomas Scalea of the Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore told a news conference the detective was in stable condition but on life support after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and extremities. Gahler said Linthicum was isolated in an area where there was no threat to public safety and officers would wait to avoid using deadly force while trying to make an arrest.
