COCKEYSVILLE, Md. (TND) — The man who shot at police officers in Maryland is on the loose and the house where those terrifying moments happened was the same home where a teenager murdered his family more than a decade ago.
That's what sources told WBFF in Baltimore.
Wednesday, police were called to that home in the suburb of Cockeysville to help a man in distress.
Authorities said they arrived and a family member escorted officers to that person. But then came the shooting.
An officer was injured and taken to a hospital but has since been released.
The manhunt for the escaped suspect, 24-year-old David Emory Linthicum, continued Thursday. Neighbors were asked to stay in their homes and schools were closed as police searched for the man, believed to be armed.
That home saw violence 14 years ago.
In early 2008,Nicholas Browning killed his father, mother, and two younger brothers in that home.
Browning was a 15-year-old honors student at the time.
Prosecutors said he killed those four close relatives in the middle of the night as they slept.
Browning claimed to have been abused by his father, but prosecutors said he simply didn't want his dad telling him what to do. They also said he didn't want to share his inheritance.
Browning is serving four life sentences for his family's murders.
