The sheriff’s deputy was driving to work in Rockville and either heard about the 911 calls or just happened to be passing, Popkin said. They cover more than 20 feet, Costlow walking forward, the deputy walking backward. About three seconds pass as Costlow continues forward and the deputy continues backward. Costlow continues walking toward the deputy, who continues backing up, as the video records what sounds to be a rapid series of gunshots. Montgomery County police are leading the investigation with help from the Howard County State’s Attorney’s Office, following typical practice for shootings involving Montgomery law enforcement officers.
