Police in Baltimore pursued Hendrix who was driving his parent's Honda Pilot with Kentucky plates when he hit another vehicle. Hendrix then opened fire injuring one officer and officers fired back.

After the shootout, Baltimore County Police said they found a 9mm semiautomatic handgun, two.38-caliber pistols, a double-barreled shotgun and a backpack full of ammo.

Hendrix was a high school Junior ROTC student. Police said he was an active churchgoer and may have even attended a church youth meeting the same night his family had been killed. The pastor at his church said that he would arrive at church every Sunday at 7 a.m. to set up equipment.
