 A Baltimore County police officer was killed in a confrontation Monday as she responded to an afternoon call in Perry Hall, setting off an hours-long manhunt for suspects as police searched densely populated suburban neighborhoods. (AP) — A 16-year-old boy has been charged in the slaying of a Baltimore County, Maryland, police officer, and three other suspects are still being sought, authorities said Tuesday. “They actually saw a black Jeep Wrangler and they saw that I guess it was a dead end street and they went to turn around and officers were following them. Baltimore County Police Chief Terrence Sheridan said that police are looking for suspects they believed are “armed and dangerous.” 
 
 Sheridan said the officer was wearing a body camera at the time of the incident and police are reviewing the footage. The investigation into the package thefts began when Caprio was assigned to handle a report of a stolen package in Nottingham, and then a report of empty boxes tossed into bushes along a roadside in Parkville.

 Baltimore County Police Department corporal Shawn Vinson speaks at a news conference, Monday, May 21, 2018, at Franklin Square Hospital Center in Rosedale, Md. Police would not confirm whether the car had been stolen or how many people were inside it, but believe the car was also involved in an earlier burglary. Shawn Vinson said investigators have recovered the suspects' abandoned Jeep, but police declined to confirm whether it was used to injure the officer. Residents in the area of Belair Road and Klausmeier Road should shelter in place due to ongoing #BCoPD incident. Three elementary schools were kept on alert status for hours, with students and teachers told to stay in their school buildings as police continued a search for the suspects. Although Carney Elementary was also temporarily on alert, those students were dismissed as of 5:55 p.m. Students were either sent home by bus or parent pick up. Baltimore County Public Schools announced in an early-morning tweet that all county schools would open on time Tuesday, with more police than usual present at schools.

 Caprio’s family did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday. On Facebook, her husband, Tim Caprio, posted that he loved her “forever.” 
 
 “You are by far the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he wrote. The Baltimore County Police and Fire Department tweeted Tuesday that the teen was arrested shortly after the female officer was fatally injured Monday. Caprio was injured just after 2 p.m. and was taken to nearby Medstar Franklin Square hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 2:50 p.m. 
 
 Police say they are not yet sure if the officer was shot or hit by a vehicle, and her cause of death will not be determined until an autopsy is performed. It was then that Kurek's neighbor, Dahle Amendt, said he had just settled into his recliner for a rest when he heard a woman's voice outside his house. I just want to go home, but because they’re on lockdown, I don’t know when they’ll let me in.” 
 
 Her eldest son is a practicing firefighter and was with the officer before additional authorities responded. Vinson, the police spokesman, said a home on Linwen Way had damage to a patio door, though police don't yet know whether that was the same home where the call to police was made.
– Police have charged a 16-year-old boy as an adult and are scouring a Baltimore suburb for three other suspects involved in the "shocking" death of a police officer on Monday. Dawnta Anthony Harris is awaiting a bail hearing. Amy Caprio, a four-year veteran of the Baltimore County Police Department, was responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle in Perry Hall when she stumbled on what police think was a burglary. Witnesses describe seeing police encounter a black Jeep down a dead end street, per CBS Baltimore. "I heard, 'Get out of the car!' ... and then a pop," a man tells the AP. A neighbor says his son also heard a pop after seeing the officer confront the Jeep's occupants with her gun drawn. He says the Jeep then hit her, throwing her about 20 feet, per the Baltimore Sun. Caprio was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly before 3pm; the Sun has more on her here. An autopsy and body camera footage will provide more details, say police, who launched a manhunt after recovering a Jeep they believe was involved in the crime, reports the Sun. On Tuesday, officers said that the land and air search continues for three suspects considered armed and dangerous. A local councilman describes the search zone as "a densely populated area with a lot of stream valleys and places where people can hide," per the Sun. Nearly 2,000 students remained at area schools into the evening Monday before an order to shelter in place was lifted. Cpl. Shawn Vinson said Monday the investigation would continue "throughout the night" and "all day tomorrow."
