A man is dead Sunday after firing shots at police, injuring a Cecil County sheriff's deputy, according to Maryland State Police.
A 911 call around 3:40 p.m. Sunday brought a sheriff's deputy to an apartment in the 100 block of Chesapeake Ridge Lane in North East to investigate a disturbance. Two state troopers who heard the call on the radio also responded to assist the deputy. When they arrived, they were met with gunfire, investigators said.
"The two troopers, along with the sheriff's deputy, approached the front door to the residence where they could hear arguing. During the argument, they heard someone say, 'He has a gun,'" Maryland State Police Superintendent Col. Jerry Jones said. "At this point, the troopers and the sheriff's deputy entered the apartment through an unlocked front door. They were immediately fired upon by the suspect."
