After a woman in northern Baltimore County shot an intruder at her Glen Arm home, the man left and fatally shot himself Friday morning, police said.
The incident occurred about 9 a.m. in the 11500 block of Glen Arm Road, where officers were summoned in response to a burglary.
The homeowner, whose name and age were not made available, told officers that she surprised a man breaking into her house and that he had fired several shots at her with an AK-47 assault rifle, according to Lt. Robert McCullough, a spokesman for the county police.
His shots missed, McCullough said, and the woman “shot back at the suspect,” striking him.
“He jumped into a black Chevy pickup and fled the area,” the spokesman said.
The man, who was wearing camouflage clothing, drove about two miles to a parking lot behind Sanders’ Corner restaurant at 2260 Cromwell Bridge Road, where police said he shot himself inside the truck.
Police had said previously that the woman fatally wounded him.
