The attorney general said two officers with the Baltimore County Police Department responded to a 911 call about the mental health crisis. The call came in on May 18 around 7:30 p.m. in the 8200 block of North Boundary Road in Dundalk.
Upon arrival, Brown said one officer contacted the 911 caller and proceeded to the alley behind the home while the other officer remained at the front door.
The attorney general said the officer in the alley encountered a man matching the description provided, and the man fired at the officer.
The officer returned fire and hit the man, Brown said.
The attorney general said officers provided medical aid until emergency medical services arrived and took the man to a nearby hospital, where he died soon after.
No officers were hurt in the exchange of gunfire.
Brown said a loaded handgun was recovered from the scene near the decedent.
The attorney general's Independent Investigations Division will investigate the case and determine if charges should be filed against the officer. This is normal protocol for all police-involved deaths.
