He was spotted again the next day along Warren Road near Bosley Road.

That's where he shot another officer with a rifle before stealing their vehicle and leading police on a chase to Harford County.

After a month of recovery, that officer, Detective Chih, was released from the hospital.

Police would finally capture Linthicum in a heavily wooded area near the Fallston Mall Shopping Center on February 10 around 5:45 am.

He has been found guilty of four counts of first-degree attempted murder, multiple assault charges, and armed carjacking.
