Baltimore, Maryland — On June 4, at approximately 8:40 p.m., officers with the Baltimore County Police Department responded to the 500 Block of Virginia Avenue in Towson, Maryland for the report of an unknown trouble. When officers arrived on scene, they heard gunshots coming from inside the building. The officers entered the building and proceeded to the 11th floor. Once on the floor, officers identified the apartment where the unknown trouble was reported to have occurred and knocked on the door. 66-year-old Joseph Robert Henry Thompson answered the door armed with a handgun and pointed it at officers. Thompson and Officers Johnson, Klapka and Fitzgerald exchanged gunfire. Thompson was struck and pronounced dead on scene. A fourth responding officer suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Sorry but these officers should concentrate on their mission! Not knowing what apartment they are supposed to check. Walking onto a target with their radio volume on max as to inform the target that they are on their way! Four officers in crossfire situation! Really??
i can't believe that cop returned to the doorway and was just staring down at the body instead of scanning for a #2 shooter in the apartment.
Wow
wow i thought it was friendly fire cuz of da crazy crossfire setup they had goin on….given the situation it could have been alot worse….officers could have shot each other till da last man stood….crazy set up…im sure they will look at the tape and do some training…so glad that punk is down and no officers were killed over a pos
I blame the Hollywood & the liquor industry for creating criminal like these people.
Youtube Algorithm: “How much crossfire do you want to seeâ€
Me: “Yesâ€
1:50 dude drops mag out of his AR.🙄 This is the type of training these cops have. VERY LITTLE TRAINING…..
1:34 He almost shot his partner in the head. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
the guy almost killed his teamate while the other guy ejected his magazine ? @@ wtf?
Nobody is talking about how the primary rifle dropped his mag when the shots were first fired? Then proceeded to clear the area with no magazine? 😂
that dude Just lost his ar-15 Mag. ?
Shit happens. Hope all are good.
Blue Card Upgrades. Miller-time.
did anyone else notice the AR-15 officer dropped his mag
Well executed!!
Knew this would be a cluster fuck of a crossfire before the suspect even came out.
Someone needs retaining on crossfire. US well known for blue on blue but this is crazy
They are so lucky they didn't shoot each other!
God bless you officers. I pray for a speedy recovery. ðŸ™
teamkill
Fake, he was made before he got to threshold
let me guess…
Crazy crossfire. A ballistic shield would be ideal but Bmore county does not issue them to patrol🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
Sweet Jesus !! The crossfire is crazy … why would you knock on a door where you on a shots fire call without a ballistic shield ? Amazing … no tactics here …I’m glad that cop is going to be ok .. my god practice your tactics your life depends on it …
This is another BLM who did no wrong and was a law abiding citizen. It’s time to riot and loot in his name
Can you imagine getting shot by what might be .223 or .556 round that close range? Immediately took the soul out of him
They hit that animal between the eyes…
Went south so fast the officer with the rifle ejected his mag
