In the process, Loiero was struck.
Records show this wasn't Loiero's first time being involved in a highly tense SWAT standoff that ended in gunfire.
In May 2016 Loiero was one of three Baltimore Police officers who shot Alex Brizzi, a 25-year-old Howard County man who walked into Fox-45 news with a fake bomb strapped to his chest.
