Maryland judge Andrew Wilkinson, 52, is fatally shot in his own driveway: Police still searching for a suspect as state troopers are dispatched to fellow judges homes

A Maryland judge was killed in an apparent shooting at his home Thursday evening in what police described as a homicide.

Judge Andrew Wilkinson, 52, had served as an associate circuit court judge in Washington County since 2020.

He was found in the driveway of his home in the western Maryland city of Hagerstown around 8 p.m. after local police responded to a shooting on Olde Waterford Road.

Wilkinson was hospitalized but later pronounced dead, according to the county sheriff's office.

A state delegate said that police are still searching for the suspect, who has not yet been named. A motive for the shooting has not been released.

'Horrible news in Washington County tonight,' Neil Parrott, who represents Washington County, wrote on X.

'It appears that Judge Andrew Wilkinson was shot multiple times and has passed away. Police are actively searching for the murderer.'

'Please pray for our police and for Judge Wilkinson's family at this time.'

The Washington County Sheriff's Office has not released any further details about Wilkinson's killing.

'We are a courthouse of six judges,' Administrative Judge Brett R. Wilson, a colleague, told the New York Times. 'We all know each other very well.'

Born in Guam in 1971, he previously served as an assistant county attorney in Washington County from 2006 to 2012.

He also served as a member of the State Board of Law Examiners' Character Committee from 2006 to 2019.

Sounds like he didn’t like the way the case was going.

Ya think?

Yah, no.

Odds are this killer was one of our precious sanctuary state imports.

In the last few months they’ve invaded the Hagerstown area big time.

So far, thank God, they seem disinclined to come out this far and snuggle up to the ‘billies.

If he’s one of the sanctuary state “refugees “, losing custody of his kids also means he lost a lot of state issued money.

Me neither, but that may change when it becomes a matter of self defense.

If I’m just visiting, I want to know how to leave a very bad review on Yelp.

I think that mailbox is full and won’t accept any more negative reviews.

I worry that one day the guys with nets will show up for me based on what my phone has typed of its own accord.
I proofread like crazy now because some of the things it “substitutes” are downright deranged.

0.o

/can’t get “fetal pigs” out of my mind now

I’d still like to offer “two fingers up!” as my review.

The first governor of Maryland referred to us as “the wilderness “ and “the wastelands”.

He meant those as an insult but we’ve worn them as badges of honor ever since.

Wish I could find the one that says “Welcome to Hell. Here’s your bagpipes ”.

I love Western MD. I-68 is an underrated drive. Lovely views of the Appalachian Mountains. Usually jump on Rt40 at some point and enter PA that way. Western MD has a different vibe, that’s for sure.

Rats.
I misremembered.
Even better because frankly I love bagpipes.
Accordions not so much.

Thanks!

“ Western MD has a different vibe, that’s for sure.”

It’s called the Banjo Effect.

I had just stumbled over it looking for the cold coffee in Hell one.

Still had the tab open!
