Baltimore County police officers have shot and killed five people since December.
Cpl. Mike Hill, a police department spokesman, said he is prohibited from releasing the first names of police personnel under a police union agreement.
The incidents, according to police, were:
Dec. 14 -- Learnold Jones, 33, was killed by Sgt. Crump, an 18-year member of the department who works in the Tactical Unit, after Jones fired on and seriously injured a police officer in the 4200 block of Darleigh Road.
Dec. 18 -- Russell Carlton Barnes, 43, was shot by Officer Kelly, a 12-year veteran who works out of the Franklin Precinct, when Barnes charged at the officer with a knife on Ivy Mill Road.
Police had responded to Barnes' home on Westminster Road in Reisterstown after Barnes called 911 saying he had just killed someone.
Police found Barnes' former girlfriend, Jamie Ann Nichols, 43, of Reisterstown, dead.
Jan. 6 -- Police said Justin Carl Wylczynski, 21, of Berwick, Pa., fired at police and was killed by return fire from Officers Zahn, Piccolo and Bird, all of whom work out of the Essex Precinct.
The three officers have three, six and 11 years on the force, respectively.
Wylczynksi had apparently gotten into an argument at the bar of The Silver Dome Lounge, in the 1900 block of Middleborough Road in Essex, and reportedly had a gun. When police arrived, he got in his car and fled along Middleborough Road. When he got out of the car on a neighborhood street, he began walking toward police, firing at them with a handgun.
Feb. 12 -- Tactical officer Bossi, a seven-year member of the force, shot Danny Hammonds, 52, while looking for a suspect in a homicide in the 7200 block of Eastern Avenue, Dundalk.
Police said Hammonds had reached for a gun and refused officers' demands to stop.
Hammonds was the father of 16-year-old Jason Hammonds, who was charged with first-degree murder in connection to the Feb.10 death of Joseph Francis Hoffman, 51, found dead at his home in the 200 block of South Woodwell Road.
Feb. 18 -- Officer Feelemyer, a five-year veteran of the force working out of the Towson Precinct, and Officer Wingert, a three-year veteran from the White Marsh precinct, shot Keith Joseph Showalter, 25, Feb. 18 outside his Carney apartment building. Police said Showalter shot at officers responding to domestic disturbance.
