The incident began around 5:00 a.m. on June 12 when police were called to a residence for a report of domestic violence. Officers entered the home with permission from the victim and found clear evidence of an assault. The victim, later transported by ambulance, was treated at Meritus and released. Two children present in the home were unharmed. While officers attempted to arrest 40-year-old Daniel Matthew Anderson, he barricaded himself in a locked room. When police forced entry, Anderson fired a shotgun, striking an officer in the arm and prompting officers to retreat and seek medical help.

The injured officer, a 19-year veteran of the Hagerstown Police Department, underwent surgery and is recovering. Meanwhile, the Crisis Negotiation Team worked for eight hours to resolve the standoff. At approximately 4:35 p.m., Anderson exited the residence and was taken into custody without further incident. He is expected to face charges and will be held at the Washington County Detention Center. Authorities have not released a booking photo or the officer’s name at this time.
The police department expressed appreciation for the support from the community and assistance from multiple agencies, including the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland State Police, Frederick City Police, Hagerstown Fire Department, and local emergency services.
