HARWOOD, Md.— The Maryland Attorney General’s office released body camera video of the fatal police shooting that left 48-year-old Anthony Hopkins, Sr. dead last month.
The video shows Hopkins walking out of the woods near a home along Sands Road on September 17.
Multiple police officers can be heard ordering Hopkins to first to, “Put your hands up,” and then, “drop it” and “put it down.”
Investigators say Hopkins raised a gun in the direction of officers who then opened fire.
Hopkins was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said a woman called 911 and reported being strangled by her husband. The victim was able to get away from the suspect and safely to a neighbor’s house, where she called 911.
