Fugitive former aide to ex-Maryland governor dies in confrontation with FBI

Additional details, including how McGrath was wounded and what led up to it, were not immediately released. The shooting was under investigation late on Monday.

McGrath, 53, served as chief of staff to Hogan. He was declared a wanted fugitive after failing to show up at a scheduled fraud trial last month, and the FBI has said he was considered an international flight risk.

If convicted of the federal charges, he would have faced a maximum sentence of 20 years for each of four counts of wire fraud, plus a maximum of 10 years for each of two counts of embezzling funds from an organization receiving more than $10,000 in federal benefits.
