The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division has confirmed the identity of the man killed in an officer-involved shooting in Dundalk last week. The deceased has been identified as 55-year-old Robert Adams, a resident of Dundalk.
Six Baltimore County Police officers are being examined by the IID concerning the fatal incident. All six are employed by the Operations Bureau within the BCPD. According to reports, they are:

The IID is pursuing further inquiry into the incident’s details.
Baltimore County Police officers were dispatched to the 2100 block of Larkhall Road on October 8, responding to reports of gunfire around 8:30 p.m.
Upon their arrival, they observed Robert Adams inside a residence, positioned at a second-story window.
The officers took action against Adams’ behavior, resulting in them discharging their weapons.
A county tactical unit arrived and secured the location with a barricade that remained in place for several hours.
Approximately two hours following the shooting, police entered the house and discovered Adams with gunshot injuries.
Emergency medical services pronounced Adams deceased at the scene.
Two firearms were located inside the house in proximity to the window where Adams was first spotted.
No officers or civilians sustained injuries during the event. Standard procedure dictates that the involved officers are placed on administrative duty.
