Police in Prince George’s County just held a press conference following the fatal shooting on an off-duty officer in Brandywine.
Chief of Police, Henry Stawinski III, said Corporal Mujahid Ramazziddin, responded to a neighbor’s call for help during a domestic violence situation. Ramazziddin stepped in front of the female victim and was shot and killed. The woman survived.
Police say the shooter then took Ramazziddin’s weapons and fled the scene in a car. Officers say he was shooting at them from his vehicle. They were able to stop the car and the suspect was shot and killed when he tried to run into the woods.
During an afternoon press conference, Stawinski called Ramazziddin a peace keeper. “Someone in his community needed him and without hesitation he helped and saved a life.”
Ramazziddin was a former marine and served with the PGPD for 14 years. He leaves behind a wife and four children.
Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks called the shooter a “gutless coward.” She also renewed the call to stop domestic violence.
