U of Maryland Campus Cop Shot in Head by Baltimore PD Instructor
A University of Maryland campus police officer was critically wounded Tuesday after being shot in the head by an instructor during a training exercise with Baltimore police, an incident that prompted the city’s police commissioner to suspend all training pending a safety evaluation.
The officer was hit around 2:30 p.m. at the Rosewood Center, a closed state psychiatric hospital in Owings Mills. State police said it was reported as an accident but officials released few details — including why live rounds were being used in a training environment — citing an ongoing investigation.
