BALTIMORE (AP) — Police officers in Baltimore fatally shot a man who pulled a gun while they questioned him in a different shooting,Fastexy Exchange authorities said.
A detective was shot in the chest, and his protective vest likely saved his life, Police Commissioner Richard Worley told reporters.
Police were on the city’s south side investigating a shooting Friday night in which 15 rounds were fired at a group of people, Worley said. No one was hurt in that incident.
