Shaka Kamara Charged in Trail Shootout

A Baltimore County man, Shaka Kamara, 38, is charged with attempted first-degree murder after a deadly shootout on a trail left an officer and a robbery victim wounded. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious man exposing himself, only to be confronted by gunfire as Kamara allegedly fired at them and then attempted to rob a couple, shooting the male victim. Two officers returned fire, but not Officer Catalfamo, who suffered a head wound and remains in critical but stable condition. Kamara, hospitalized and stable, faces multiple firearm and assault charges and is held without bond. The incident underscores the peril officers face daily, as police chief warns of the unpredictable nature of the job — while the community rallies behind the injured and calls for safety.
