Baltimore Police officer and suspect shot during "barricade situation" at a residence

A Baltimore Police officer and a suspect were shot Tuesday afternoon in Northwest Baltimore. According to Mayor Brandon Scott, it happened "during a barricade situation at a residence."

The incident occurred in the 6200 block of Park Heights Avenue, near the Agudath Israel of Baltimore synagogue, around 12:30 p.m.

A witness told WJZ that they saw officers run to a home on that block and heard a single gunshot.    

The injured officer was taken to Shock Trauma. The condition of the suspect is currently unclear. 

The Baltimore Police union said it was aware of the shooting and said, "all involved members are in good spirits." 

Scott announced on X that he was at Shock Trauma to check on the injured officer. "The brave men and women of BPD put their lives on the line every day to build a better, safer Baltimore," he said. "As the situation develops, our hearts are with this officer, their family, and the entire department."

The Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division is also on the scene. The agency is tasked with investigating use of force and police involved shooting incidents across the state.
