Two Frederick County Sheriff's Office deputies are on administrative leave after an officer-involved shooting early this morning left a home invasion suspect dead.
Around 1 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office Special Services Team detonated a "flash bang" device to gain entry into the two-bedroom apartment of Daniel Vail, 19, in Mt. Airy.
Vail was wanted on a Howard County warrant related to a Jan. 8 home invasion robbery that involved a shotgun and baseball bats, according to a Frederick County Sheriff's Office press release. Vail was in one of the bedrooms and pointed a shotgun toward deputies after they entered his room, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies made several commands directing Vail to put down the gun, but he did not comply. Two of the sheriff's team members fired numerous rounds, striking Vail. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
