Anne Arundel Police Officer Fatally Shoots Man
GAMBRILLS, Md. (AP) -- Anne Arundel County police say an officer responding to a report of a domestic assault has fatally shot a man.
The shooting happened Friday evening at a home in Gambrills. Neighbors told police that the woman called out to neighbors for
help and said she was bleeding. Police say the man then dragged the woman back into the home.
