Description
On November 6, 1996, petitioners, Mary Williams et al., 1 brought this negligence action in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City against the State of Maryland, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, and Baltimore City Police Officer Edward Colbert, under the Maryland Tort Claims Act and the Local Government Tort Claims Act. The claim arose out of a domestic violence incident in which Gerald Watkins shot and partially paralyzed Mary Williams, his girlfriend's mother, shot and killed Valerie Williams, his girlfriend and mother of his child, and then shot and killed himself. On January 22, 1997, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City dismissed the claims against the State and the City. The case proceeded against Officer Colbert until February 27, 1998, when another judge on the Circuit Court for Baltimore City entered summary judgment in favor of the police officer. Petitioners appealed to the Court of Special Appeals, challenging the two orders issued by the judges. 2 In an opinion filed September 7, 1999, that court affirmed the judgments of the trial court. Williams v. Mayor of Baltimore, 128 Md. App. 1, 736 A.2d 1084 (1999). Petitioners presented three questions to this Court, for which we granted certiorari: I. Was [respondent] Officer Colbert divested of discretion and mandated by [Maryland Code (1957, 1996 Repl. Vol., 1999 Cum. Supp.),] Article 27, § 798(B)(2) and [Baltimore City] Police Department General Order 10-93[ 3 ] to protect [petitioners]?
