Police Accuse Teen of Shooting at Officer in Largo

Prince George's County Police have made an arrest two weeks after an off-duty county deputy exchanged gunfire with two men in a parking lot in the 10500 block of Campus Way South in Largo. Police have charged 18-year-old George Hunt with attempted first and second degree murder, and two suspects remain on the lam.

Police say that a deputy was in a parking lot at 1:50 a.m. on July 24 when Hunt and another suspect approaching him in the parking lot. Hunt then fired at the deputy, who then returned fire, according to the police report.
