ARBUTUS, Md. — We're learning more of what led to a deadly police involved shooting in Arbutus Wednesday.

According to the Maryland Attorney General's Office, officers were originally called to the 5100 block of Leeds Avenue for reports of a masked man shooting at passing cars with a bow and arrow.

Around 10:30am when Baltimore County Police arrived on scene, they encountered a suspect meeting the description provided.

While it's unclear what exactly transpired from there, one detective ended up firing, killing the man.
