A woman is dead and a child was injured Monday in a police-involved shooting after an hours-long standoff, Baltimore County police said.Police said officers fatally shot Korryn Shandawn Gaines, 23, who repeatedly threatened officers with a long gun. A 5-year-old boy who was shot in an extremity was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Police said Tuesday he remains in good condition.Police said it was not clear whether the child was struck by a round from the woman's gun or by a round from a police service weapon."We should have taken more time with it," Creo Brady, Gaines' cousin, said. "Taken a different approach and use every tool available which is us. Use us. We can get through to her. We love her. We came up here to try to make this thing settle peacefully."Police said the incident started at 9:20 a.m., when three officers went to the unit block of Sulky Court in Randallstown to serve an arrest warrant on a man and a woman. The man was wanted for assault. The woman was wanted on a failure-to-appear bench warrant stemming from an array of traffic charges, including disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Gaines was charged after a traffic stop last March."When our detectives arrived at the scene, they found that the woman was armed and there was a juvenile in the apartment with her. So at that point, our detectives backed off, not only to call additional resources, but to ensure the safety of the community and bring a safe resolution to this incident," Baltimore County police Cpl. John Wachter said.Wachter said specialized resources were deployed to the scene.Police said the male suspect ran from the apartment with a 1-year-old boy -- one of two children in the apartment with the couple. Police arrested the man, who was identified Tuesday as Kareem Kiean Courtney, 39. He was arrested on a warrant for second-degree assault and was released on his own recognizance.The armed woman remained inside with the 5-year-old boy, and a barricade situation began at about 9:40 a.m. and continued throughout the afternoon.Police evacuated the apartment building as a precaution.Police said negotiators tried to encourage the woman to surrender peacefully, but that she refused and pointed the long gun at tactical officers several times.At about 3 p.m., the woman again pointed her weapon directly at a tactical officer and said, "If you don't leave, I'm going to kill you." At that point, fearing for the officers' lives, one of the officers fired his weapon. The woman returned fire, firing two shots. None of the officers were struck. The woman was struck multiple times."She pointed the shot gun, the long gun at our personnel and advised them that if they did not retreat or leave she was going to kill them," Baltimore County police Chief Jim Johnson said.Witnesses at the scene saw numerous police cars, under cover officers and SWAT respond to the scene."It was a terrible situation to have the little boy in the house with her, her son, who is at the hospital," Andre Brady, Gaines' relative, said. "But he's OK."This is the county's third officer-involved shooting so far this year, and the first fatal officer-involved shooting of 2016.WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team reporter Barry Simms contributed to this story.Get the WBAL-TV News App22874254
