Police chief: Slain officer died from friendly fire

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — A police chief says an undercover police officer was killed by his own colleagues’ gunfire as a gunman ambushed his police station. Meanwhile, two brothers of the gunman recorded the unprovoked attack.

Prince George’s County police chief Hank Stawinski says Officer Jacai Colson was mortally wounded after he arrived at the scene dressed in civilian clothes in an unmarked car and wearing no body armor.

The chief says Ford’s two brothers, Malik and Elijah Ford, were arrested after making recordings of the firefight.
