A Delaware man was shot and killed by State Police troopers after he pointed a weapon at them and drove 25 miles the wrong way on highways in Queen Anne's County.

Christopher Hale, 37, of Delmar, Del., was pronounced dead Wednesday morning on Md. Route 300 in Church Hill.

A trooper traveling westbound on Md. Route 50 Wednesday about 5:30 a.m. spotted a vehicle headed toward him and swerved out of the way.

An officer with the Maryland Transportation Authority Police saw what happened and both pursued the car.

The vehicle was finally disabled by stop sticks.

State police say when a trooper approached the vehicle, Hale pointed a black handgun at him. Officers then shot and killed him.

The gun, a Crossman BB gun, was a replica of a semiautomatic pistol.

Jury says deliberations heated in mayor's trial
November 20, 2009 17:21 EST

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Jurors in the theft trial of Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon were dismissed for the weekend after sending a note to the judge saying deliberations were getting heated.

Jurors deliberated until about 3:45 p.m. Friday before sending the note saying "things are getting a little overheated" and asking to be dismissed. The jury received the case about midday Thursday.

Prosecutors say Dixon used gift cards intended for the needy on personal shopping sprees. The defense says the mayor's then-boyfriend anonymously gave Dixon gift cards for her own use, and she thought gift cards from another developer came from her boyfriend. She's also accused of taking cards from a holiday charity event run by the city.
