On deputy involved shooting I'm told main crime scene at Panera Bread, there are "others." Briefing soon. @wbaltv11 pic.twitter.com/YVCHDxNDvp

One injured deputy was taken to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center, while the other was taken to Shock Trauma. The names of the deceased shooter and injured deputies have not been released.
Gahler said it's not yet clear what led to the call for service. The restaurant was very full for lunch, Gahler said, and it's fortunate no bystanders were hurt.
Look at the scene's width. You see tape at Panera, then way further off to the right. Brief coming up. @wbaltv11 pic.twitter.com/8S8yVuam6j
