<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DUNDALK, MD. A Baltimore County Police Officer and a civilian are in serious condition, and the suspect, Blaine Erb, dead, after an officer-involved shooting following an armed robbery on June 7, 2017, in Dundalk. Erb was a convicted felon who was prohibited from having a gun in his possession. He was wanted on fugitive charges from Pennsylvania.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Baltimore Police say that the investigation has revealed that officers were dispatched at 2:49 p.m. to Dundalk Avenue and Avon Beach Road for an armed street robbery in progress. Officers had received information that a single male suspect approached and robbed two people at gunpoint. Police arriving on the scene were updated with information that Erb fled the scene onto a Maryland Transit Administration bus. Police located the bus a short distance from the Logan Village Shopping Center in the 3400 block of Dundalk Avenue and initiated an investigative traffic stop.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Police say that when officers attempted to confront the Erb on the bus, he began shooting at the officers, firing repeatedly at them. The officers returned fire. After exchanging gunfire for an extended period, Erb attempted to flee the MTA bus. Erb collapsed a short distance from the bus, suffering at least one gunshot wound, where he was pronounced deceased.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">During the exchange of gunfire, one officer and one civilian each suffered at least one gunshot wound. The officer was taken to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, where she is listed in serious condition. The civilian, a woman, was transported to an area hospital and is expected to survive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Body camera footage of this incident is part of the ongoing investigation. The MTA bus was equipped with working surveillance cameras, and any footage captured from these cameras will be part of the investigation as well.</span></p>

<h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CAUTION; READER DISCRETION ADVISED, THIS IS MATURE CONTENT OF GRAPHIC FIRING BY EX-CON AT POLICE AND BYSTANDERS; GRAPHIC LANGUAGE BY PERSON FILMING</span></h2>
<p> ;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">None of the officers involved have any prior combat shooting involvement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The officer shot in the Dundalk police-involved shooting in Dundalk is Officer First Class Slocum, assigned to Precinct 12/Dundalk. She is a 13-year veteran of BCoPD. She remains hospitalized in serious condition.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A 21-year-old female civilian from the 5000 block of Queensberry Avenue, 21215 also suffered a gunshot wound to the lower body during the incident and is expected to survive her injury.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Two .40 caliber semi-automatic handguns were located next to the suspect&#8217;s body, as well as numerous gun magazines and ammunition. Detectives have determined that the firearms have not been reported stolen but continue to investigate to identify the last known registered owner. Erb is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms due to a prior conviction for an armed robbery. The investigation has determined that Erb had a lengthy criminal history in Maryland and neighboring states, including charges for robbery, weapon</span> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">violations, assault, and theft. He also had an open warrant through Pennsylvania.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Detectives have identified five civilians who were on the bus when the incident began, but continue to investigate to determine if there were more.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The investigation has determined that four officers fired rounds at the suspect from their service weapons. Those officers have been placed on routine administrative leave and their names will not be released at this time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">While it has been determined that at least one officer was wearing a Body-Worn Camera at the time of the incident, all visual and audio recordings remain part of the ongoing investigation and will not be released at this time.</span></p>
