Officials say a call came in around 12:43 p.m. Friday for a suspicious male possibly in possession of a firearm.

Shortly after officers arrived, a shooting was reported. One male officer, identified as Bryan Snyder, 43, and one female officer, identified as Kristen Kowalsky, 32, were shot in addition to the suspect.

All three were flown to a hospital in Baltimore.

Officials say both Snyder and Kowalsky sustained gunshot wounds to the torso and are in stable condition. Snyder is in his second year on the force and Kowalsky is in her ninth year. Both officers have been released from the hospital.

The suspect was also shot in the torso, has undergone surgery, and is recovering.

The investigation is now being handled by the Maryland State Police.

Frederick Chief Of Police Jason Lando released a statement on the incident Saturday.

"Yesterday's tragic incident occurred during what we might call a routine call for service. Our officers respond to these types of calls every day, knowing that at any moment, it could be their lives on the line. Yesterday was that moment for Kristen and Bryan. They are, undoubtedly, heroes. What makes them heroes is not only what happened to them yesterday, but the fact that, once they heal, they will be right back out there protecting our community. For that we owe them, and all of our officers, our deepest gratitude," Lando said.

Multiple schools were on lockout status following the increased police activity, but that status was later lifted. All students and staff are safe.
