Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Threads [merged]
Police have been trained to believe that their sole duty, above all, is to come home safe and that is what led to this incident.
A grand jury indicted a Bowie, Maryland, police officer on a charge of attempted murder for firing his gun at a man on a busy road last month.
About 8 a.m. Sept. 12, Sgt. Robert Warrington stopped on Collington Road near Route 50 to check on a white SUV parked on the side of the road.
A man who asked to remain unidentified told News4 he was trying to retrieve his hat that had blown away while his girlfriend and children remained in the SUV.
As the man walked past Warrington on his way back to the SUV, he appeared to have one hand over his stomach with the other hand holding a white cloth or T-shirt that appeared to have blood on it.
“Are you here to help her?” Warrington asked.
“Nah, she’s taking me to the hospital,” the man replied.
