A man armed with “a large double-edged spear” was shot dead by Howard County, Maryland, police after it said he stabbed a family member.
Police were called to the 9200 block of Wilbur Court in Columbia Monday evening by a man who said he had just been stabbed several times by his brother.
Two minutes later, the stabbing suspect called 911 and told the call taker he had stabbed his brother and was still armed.
In a news briefing, Howard County police spokesperson Sherry Llewellyn said when police arrived at the intersection of Oakland Mills Road and Carters Lane around 7:30 p.m., the suspect was armed with “a large, doubled-edged spear.”
