(Colin Campbell) Two Anne Arundel County police officers serving one of Maryland’s new “red flag” protective orders to remove guns from a house killed a Ferndale man after he refused to give up his gun and a struggle ensued early Monday morning, police said.

The subject of the protective order, Gary J. Willis, 60, answered his door in the 100 block of Linwood Ave. at 5:17 a.m. with a gun in his hand, Anne Arundel County police said. He initially put the gun down next to the door, but “became irate” when officers began to serve him with the order, opened the door and picked up the gun again, police said.

Emily C.: What can I do to help Damion?

Damion S.: I would pray first. But look for an American Red cross. Or maybe Samaritan’s purse. I’m going to donate blood this week. Maybe tomorrow.

Charlie C.: No red cross.
