ESSEX, Md. — Baltimore County Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting involving a man armed with a knife in Essex.
This stems from an incident Thursday night when officers responded to a call for a missing "suicidal subject."
When they arrived to the 1000 block of Pine Road, the man was armed with a knife, police say.
Police ordered the man to drop the weapon, but he refused. As a result, one officer fired his gun, hitting the man.
He was then taken to a hospital. There's no word on his condition at this time.
Per Departmental policy, the officer who fired his weapon is on administrative leave.
This incident remains under investigation.
