A police chief says an undercover police officer was killed by his own colleagues' bullets as a gunman ambushed his police station. Meanwhile, two brothers of the gunman recorded the unprovoked attack.
Prince George's County police chief Hank Stawinski says Officer Jacai Colson was mortally wounded after he arrived at the scene dressed in civilian clothes in an unmarked car and wearing no body armor.
The gunman was identified as Michael Ford, 22, who was being sought for allegedly assaulting his wife in Greenville County, South Carolina, the day before, according to a sheriff's report there.
The chief says Ford's two brothers, Malik and Elijah Ford, were arrested after making recordings of the firefight.
Authorities say the suspect wanted to die in a gun battle with officers.
Flags at Half-Staff
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has ordered all United States and commonwealth flags in the state Capitol complex and at all commonwealth facilities in Delaware County to fly at half-staff to honor a Pennsylvania-born police officer.
Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland made the same gesture in honor of the officer.
Colson graduated from Chichester High School in the Delaware County town of Boothwyn, Pennsylvania.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch also issued a statement honoring his service.
