Aberdeen Police Identify Officer Involved in Shooting

ABERDEEN, Md. (WJZ) — Tense moments in Aberdeen.
Police say a suspect they thought was armed with a knife, charged at officers, forcing one of them to fire shots.
Hours after the initial press conference, police identified the suspect as 23-year-old Tyler Winkler and say he was actually holding a plastic comb, not a knife, that he was using a shank. They say he was holding the bristled end in his hand and lunged at officers with the sharp, pointed end.
