BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. — Baltimore County prosecutors have conceded that a Baltimore school teacher accused in the Wilkens Precinct shooting should be found not criminally responsible, a spokesperson with the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office told WMAR-2 News.

Surveillance video shows Britt approaching an officer who was pumping gas into his police cruiser.
