Killed Off-Duty Prince George's County Officer Who Tried to Protect Woman, Officials Say.

'An off-duty Prince George's County police officer was shot and killed Wednesday morning after he tried to protect a woman who was threatened in a domestic dispute in Brandywine, Maryland, police say.

The suspect, 37-year-old Glenn Tyndell, also was killed.

Cpl. Mujahid Ramzziddin lost his life helping a woman as he was off duty in his own neighborhood, Chief Hank Stawinski said at a news conference.

"He saved her life by giving his own," Stawinski said. . .

Ramzziddin was a Marine Corps veteran, a father of four and his mother's only son, officials said. He had been with the Prince George's County Police Department for 14 years. . .

Tyndell has a history of domestic violence, Stawinski said. He had three open warrants for assault, police said. Court records show he was arrested for violating a protective order in March 2013 and arrested for assault in September 2010.'>>>
