A man was shot and wounded in Prince George's County on Saturday night by an Anne Arundel County police officer, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 6:30 p.m. on Pennsylvania Avenue (Route 4) in the Upper Marlboro area, about a half-mile west of the border between the two counties, an Anne Arundel police official said.
The Anne Arundel officer pursued a car west into Prince George's in connection with an apparent traffic violation in Anne Arundel, said Capt. Frederick Plitt of the Anne Arundel police. After the car was stopped in Prince George's, there was a struggle and the man was shot, Plitt said.
He said the man was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening wound.
The Anne Arundel officer was also injured and taken to a hospital. He was not shot. He has been a member of the department for two years, Plitt said.
The incident was the latest of several in the past two weeks that involved police gunfire. The most recent was a fatal shooting by Charles County sheriff's officers Friday night.
On Monday, a man was critically wounded during a confrontation with a Montgomery County police officer outside a house in Darnestown.
