COCKEYSVILLE, Md. — After two days on the loose, the manhunt for David Linthicum has come to an end.
Linthicum had been on the run after allegedly shooting a Baltimore County Police officer and detective.
The search ended just before 5:45 Friday morning in a heavily wooded area near the Fallston Mall Shopping Center.
Linthicum was considered armed and dangerous following a pair of violent incidents that started Wednesday afternoon at a home in Cockeysville.
Officers were initially called to the 10000 block of Powers Avenue for a person feeling suicidal.
As police entered Linthicum's bedroom in the downstairs portion of the home, he was seen holding a high powered rifle.
Charging documents say he fired 15 rounds in the direction of police and his father causing them to retreat. One officer soon realized he was hit with a round.
That officer was released from the hospital later the same day.
At first police reported that Linthicum barricaded himself inside the home, setting up a SWAT Team response.

It was later determined he fled the scene prompting a massive search that forced several school and road closures.
Linthicum wasn't spotted again until 9:30 Thursday night along Warren Road near Bosley Road.
That's where police say he shot another officer with a rifle before stealing their vehicle and leading police on a chase to Harford County.
Linthicum was taken into custody unharmed after an eight-hour standoff.
Court documents say a rifle was recovered inside the car. Linthicum was also found to be in possession of ammunition.
The second wounded officer remains on life support at Shock Trauma.

Linthicum has a scheduled court appearance on February 13.
