A man is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot by police in a gunfire exchange Saturday night. A police officer was shot but uninjured because the bullet ricocheted off the officer’s magazine belt, police said.
The exchange occurred around 8 p.m. at the intersection of Chillum and Queens Chapel Roads in West Hyattsville. Police were responding to several calls reporting a man “acting erratic” in the area and throwing things at cars and banging on store windows.
