LAUREL, Md. (AP) — An off-duty police officer with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission shot a man who illegally entered his home in Laurel, authorities said.
The home-invasion suspect was shot in the arm Sunday afternoon and has been apprehended, agency spokeswoman Ayoka Blandford said. His injuries are not life-threatening, she said.
Prince George's County Police Officer Tyler Hunter said his agency will likely release more details Monday.
The officer has served with the sanitary commission for one year, Blandford said. He worked for the University of Maryland-Baltimore for 20 years, she said.
The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission is a water and wastewater utility serving 1.8 million residents in Prince George's and Montgomery counties.
