Well here are two emails that I received regarding activity today near Easton.
~First One~
(Trappe, MD) – Maryland State Police have established a perimeter and are attempting to contact a Talbot County man who is refusing to come out of his house after allegedly telling troopers this morning in a phone call that he had killed his wife.
A positive identification of the man who called has not been made at this time. The condition of the alleged victim has also not been verified, nor has a positive identification been made, due to the situation that is continuing.
Maryland State Police have surrounded a single-family home in the 5000-block of Ocean Gateway (Rt. 50), in Trappe, Md. The occupants of the home are believed to be a husband and wife.
At about 10:30 a.m. today, troopers at the Easton Barracks received a call from a man at that address who said he had shot and killed his wife earlier this morning. The man also told troopers he was not coming out of his house.
Responding troopers established a perimeter around the house. Due to the statement of the man in the house about his possession and use of a firearm and the proximity of the house to the highway, troopers closed both east and westbound Rt. 50 for the safety of motorists. Detours around the area were established with the assistance of the State Highway Administration.
The Maryland State Police Special Tactical Assault Team Element (STATE) responded to the scene, as have negotiators from the Hostage Recovery Team. Throughout the day, troopers have attempted to make contact with the man, but have been unable to do so. Loud music has been playing from within the house since troopers arrived.
No shots have been fired by the suspect or by police since troopers first arrived on the scene. Troopers are urging the man to surrender and resolve this situation peacefully.
All media interviews will be conducted by Sgt. Betts who is at the Easton Barracks on Rt. 50. There is no media access at or near the scene.
