PERRY HALL, Md. — A 16-year-old boy charged in the death of a Maryland police officer told detectives he drove at her when she confronted him as he waited in a vehicle while others were burglarizing a home, court documents say.

Baltimore County police Officer Amy Caprio was killed Monday afternoon while investigating a call about a suspicious vehicle in the Perry Hall community northeast of Baltimore. Police have not said how Caprio was fatally injured in the suburban neighborhood, but witnesses reported hearing a pop, then seeing a Jeep run her over.

A probable cause statement dated Tuesday identified the suspect in her death as ­Dawnta Anthony Harris of Baltimore. He was charged with first-degree murder.

Officials said three other teenagers had been taken into custody. Baltimore County’s public safety department tweeted Tuesday morning that the teenagers are suspects in area burglaries.

The probable cause statement said a caller told police Monday that she saw a black Jeep near her residence and that three suspicious people got out and were walking around homes. Soon after, the caller advised that the subjects had broken into a home, the statement said.
