County police have identified the officer involved in the fatal shooting of a man suspected of assaulting and threatening a Baltimore County police officer and stealing his patrol car.

Three Baltimore County officers also involved in the shooting were also placed on leave pending an investigation.

CAMDEN, N.J., — After two days of deliberations, a jury announced Wednesday that it was deadlocked in the trial of a man charged with killing a Glen Burnie man in 2008.

The jury began deliberations on Monday after testimony in the three-day trial of Harold Elliot in Superior Court in Camden ended last week, the Courrier Post in Camden reported.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office contended Elliot shot Michael Unger, 35, who was his sister’s boyfriend and a guest at the Elliot home.

An Anne Arundel County police officer is on administrative leave after he was involved in the shooting death of a man accused of threatening an officer, then stealing a Baltimore County police cruiser early Tuesday morning.

The Anne Arundel officer is a 19-year-veteran who works at  the Northern District Station. Three Baltimore County officers also involved in the shooting are also on administrative leave.

The ramp from southbound Ritchie Highway to Route 100 west in Glen Burnie will be closed again next week for repairs.

Starting Monday, construction crews will begin the second phase of a $1.5 million three-phase project to repair damage by Tropical Storm Lee last fall. The first phase was completed over the fall, with repair crews replacing 180 feet of pipe that collapsed due to flooding. The SHA reopened the ramp in mid-December.
