An attempted murder investigation is underway following a stabbing and officer-involved shooting that left a man dead Wednesday evening, Baltimore County police said.
Police said officers responded to the 900 block of Holgate Drive in Essex in response to a disturbance that was later upgraded to a stabbing.
After arriving at the scene, police said officers saw an armed adult male inside the apartment building. Several officers discharged their weapons in response to what they said was the man’s actions. When officers entered the residence, they found an adult female suffering from stab wounds, police said.
Police said aid was performed on both the man and woman involved in the incident before they were both transported to a nearby hospital, where the man was pronounced dead.
One officer was injured on the scene and was treated at the hospital.
The investigation into the stabbing is ongoing. Per department policy, the officers involved in the shooting have been placed on routine administrative leave.
