BALTIMORE (AP) - Police in Baltimore say a man is in critical condition after being shot by police.

Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said officers had responded to a behavioral health crisis and that the man had reportedly pulled a gun on the officers before being shot.

The Baltimore Sun reports that the shooting occurred early Wednesday. Police said the incident began after a relative of the man called police and led officers to him.



The police commissioner said the man was struck “multiple times” by police gun fire. Harrison added that officers found a second gun when they searched the man.

The races of the officers and the man who was shot have been released. Body camera footage is also yet to be released.
