WHITE MARSH, Md. — When a Baltimore County police officer working private security in White Marsh on Saturday night attempted to stop a vehicle, he ended up being dragged along the parking lot, and the suspects fled the scene, but officers would catch up with them in Rosedale at Philadelphia Road and Hamilton Avenue.
“As officers were placing the suspects under arrest, the driver of the vehicle began to ram into police cars and other vehicles,” said Joy Stewart of the Baltimore County Police Department, “At that point during that assault is when at least one of our officers discharged their firearm. The car then fled into the city.”
Baltimore County and City Police followed the suspect’s vehicle to the area of Johns Hopkins Hospital where they discovered the officer who had fired on the driver had hit his mark.
Criminal charges have been filed against 30-year-old Alicia Page and 31-year-old Kelly Anthony following the assault.
Page has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, first and second degree assault, as well as theft and malicious destruction of property.
Anthony faces charges of second degree assault, obstructing and hindering as well.
One of the women was rushed to a nearby hospital with at least one gunshot wound, but she’s expected to survive.

“We also had the officer who was initially assaulted,” added Stewart, “He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He’s since been released.”
Police are not commenting on what prompted the officer working security to try to stop the woman, triggering their desperate attempt to escape with little regard for anyone who stood in their way.
The two women are being held without bond.
