BALTIMORE (AP) - Authorities in Maryland say that a man was in critical condition after being shot by Baltimore County Detectives outside a police station in the city of Baltimore.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the man was shot Wednesday afternoon. Police said they had believed the man had a weapon.
Baltimore County police spokeswoman Joy Stewart said county detectives were conducting an investigation that had originated in the county. But she said the detectives found who they believed to be the suspect in the city.
Stewart said the man exited a vehicle and “displayed what appeared to be a weapon” before at least one officer shot and wounded him. The man was listed in critical condition on Wednesday afternoon.
Stewart declined to identify the man or release further details on the ongoing investigation.
Witness lliam Feldman told the newspaper that a police vehicle had pulled over a truck in front of the police station. She said she heard officers yell “put your hands up” and “drop your weapon” after an individual get out of the truck.
She said she heard officers shout the commands at least three times. Feldman said he saw the man turn toward officers and then heard five shots.
