A man who escaped from Maryland State Police custody after shooting at and assaulting a trooper at Laurel Regional Hospital early Tuesday was captured after a five-hour manhunt that caused a high school to be temporarily locked down.

Police said Kamara Mohamed, 39, was rearrested after breaking into a trailer near Contee Road about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday — only about a mile from the hospital. The hospital is a part of the Prince George’s Hospital Center system.
