Officer Shot While Protecting Woman at Cookout | Annapolis News

An off-duty Baltimore cop, Joshua Moody, was shot in the arm while trying to de-escalate a drunken confrontation at a Clifton Park cookout—when a drunk driver, Christopher Leigh, allegedly rammed into a woman and then opened fire. Moody, in plain clothes, was grazed but released the same day; the woman also suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Witnesses identified Leigh, who was arrested the next day and charged with attempted murder and multiple gun offenses. He’s being held without bond and hasn’t yet hired a lawyer. The incident serves as a chilling reminder of how fast chaos can erupt—even at a backyard BBQ. His preliminary hearing is set for August 11.
