Without warning, a man opened fire on Howard County police on a busy thoroughfare Wednesday afternoon, disappearing into a wooded area after seriously wounding an officer. The suspect was apprehended Thursday morning. A half-mile-wide manhunt Wednesday night involved dozens of Howard, Anne Arundel, Prince Georges and Montgomery county officers. A major portion of U.S. 1 was shut down for rush hour, and businesses, schools and homes were on lockdown through the evening.
