MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, Md. — A 27-year-old armed suspect was wounded after allegedly firing a gun at police in Montgomery County on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers were patrolling the Montgomery Village Plaza following community complaints of criminal activity in the area.
Just before 5pm police said they saw a man on Contour Road "engaged in suspicious behavior."
The man, later identified as 27-year-old Andre Duvall of Germantown, ran from officers as they approached.
Police chased him into an apartment on Lost Knife Circle.
"As officers turned the corner of an apartment building, the suspect fired two shots at them," Montgomery County Police said in a press release.
One officer returned fire, striking Duvall. A handgun was recovered at the scene. The incident was captured on police body-worn camera.
Duvall is expected to survive. He's since been charged with attempted murder.
No officers or bystanders were injured during the shootout.
The involved officer has been placed on routine administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
