FOREST HILL, Md. — One man is dead, and two Harford County Sheriff's deputies are on administrative leave following a Saturday shooting at a shopping center in Forest Hill.
Around 2:44 p.m., a report came in for a suicidal man, possibly armed with a long gun.
After an hour-long search and speaking with the man over the phone, police found him behind the CVS off Rock Spring Road.
At some point during the interaction, Sergeant Bradford Sives and Corporal Christopher Maddox shot and killed 53-year-old John Raymond Fauver, of Whiteford.
It's unclear what led the deputies to fire, but both their body cameras were activated. Sives and Maddox have each been with the agency since 2007.
For now, the Sheriff's Office is withholding that footage citing an ongoing investigation.
"Many citizens have inquired about releasing body camera footage," the Sheriff's Office said in a statement posted on social media. "Please understand that many hours of footage exist, and, in order to not bias or influence the investigation, a full review must occur before we can share any evidence with the public."
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Detective Golden at 410-836-5430.
