The three-day manhunt that stretched from the suburbs of Cockeysville to the fields of Harford County, that left a second police officer shot, closed schools in two counties and caused nervous families to stay home and lock their doors, ended before sunrise Friday.

Harford County Sheriff’s deputies had 24-year-old David Emory Linthicum pinned down among the rocks in a field near Fallston Mall. Helicopters and surveillance drones circled over his head. Officers shouted orders, but Linthicum would not surrender.
