Jason L. Schneider served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Police Officer Jason Schneider was shot and killed while serving a search warrant at a home on Roberts Avenue, in Catonsville, at approximately 5:00 a.m.
Officer Schneider was part of the tactical team that had entered the house in search of a juvenile subject wanted in relation to a shooting the previous week. The entry team encountered four subjects inside the home who attempted to flee. Officer Schneider was pursuing a subject towards the rear of the house when another subject attacked him and opened fire, striking him several times.
Despite being mortally wounded, Officer Schneider returned fire and killed the subject.
Two juveniles, including the subject they were originally searching for, were later charged with weapons violations. In May 2014, the first juvenile subject was found not guilty following a long trial. The following October, the first subject's cousin was sentenced to 18 months in exchange for 5 years.
Officer Schneider was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Baltimore County Police Department for 13 years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Police Officer I Schneider gave the Baltimore County Police Department 13 years.
Thank you for your service to the Towson community. Thank you for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
