Tomorrow, Baltimore County Police Officers will be wearing mourning bands on their badges in memory of a fallen hero.
Lieutenant Michael Howe, the former commander of the Baltimore County Police Tactical Unit, died on August 11, 2008 as a result of a massive stroke.
On August 10, 2008, Lieutenant Howe was with his unit at the scene of a murder-suicide in Precinct 4 Pikesville. When he returned home after that incident, he collapsed and was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where he died the next afternoon.
