Update 10:58pm: A man was shot and killed by a state trooper after an overnight barricade in Carroll County, according to the Maryland Attorney General’s Office.

Update 10:52am: Still waiting on Maryland State Police to issue a press release on the incident (that is the entity handling this incident). I spoke on the phone with them to confirm details I have received but they were unable to confirm at this time as the incident is still under investigation.

Out of respect for the situation I am holding off on the details passed along to me until I get official confirmation.


I would expect at some point (hopefully soon) a press release to be issued from MSP. You can watch here for any press release on the incident: https://news.maryland.gov/msp/press-releases/. As soon as information is released I will update this article.

At of 5:26am there have been no public details shared on the incident from Carroll County Sheriff’s Office or Maryland State Police.

What I know right now:

The incident began on the evening of June 3rd at the 1200 Block of Liberty Road in Sykesville. There are a number of vehicles from Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland State Police, Sykesville Fire and Howard County Fire Departments.

I spoke to a few residents near by that told me the incident had been going on for more than 8 hours (as of 4:30am) and that they had seen the subject exit and reenter the home multiple times during the evening and morning.

Here is what I have seen online as of this morning:
