Maryland AG Unit Probes Officer-Involved Shooting After Fatal Salisbury Double Shooting

The Independent Investigations Division, which reviews police encounters resulting in death or critical injury, has taken the Salisbury case.

Overview

  • Maryland State Police say troopers found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds at a North Westover Drive home in Salisbury, and the woman was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
  • Roughly two hours after the initial call, authorities reported an officer-involved shooting on a road just over two miles from the first scene.
  • Officials have not said whether police, a suspect, or both fired in the later encounter, nor whether anyone was injured there.
  • The identities of the man and woman from the first scene are being withheld until next-of-kin notifications are completed.
  • Maryland State Police deferred questions to the attorney general’s office, and Salisbury City Police and the AG’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment; the IID notes it has conducted 79 investigations, with 10 still active.
