The two were shot near the 7300 block of Baltimore Avenue after allegedly fleeing from a store where a shoplifting had occurred. The officer was off-duty and working in a security position at the store. He tried to stop them, and fired when his arm became lodged in the door of the car, which began dragging him, police said.
It was believed at first that the two who were shot were women. But they "turned out to be males dressed in female clothing," Officer Henry Tippett, a county police spokesman, said early Sunday.
