All these officers are assigned to the Southern District, as confirmed by the Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division.
**Details of the Incident**
The Independent Investigations Division, in conjunction with a Baltimore Police-led probe, has reported that the shooting incident unfolded around 10:30 p.m. on Friday night. The altercation began when a man pointed a handgun at the officers and failed to comply with orders to drop the weapon. Subsequently, both the man and multiple officers discharged their firearms, resulting in the man being fatally shot and one officer sustaining injuries.
**Location of the Incident**
The incident originated as officers approached Ferguson, who was situated on the porch of a commercial building in the vicinity of South Hanover Street and Baltic Avenue in South Baltimore’s Fairfield Area, just north of Brooklyn. The officers had identified Ferguson as a “person of interest” in a shooting incident from May 22, where no victims were reported. As the officers engaged Ferguson in questioning, he suddenly rose, retrieved a handgun from his waistband, and aimed it at the officers, prompting the use of lethal force.
**Update on Injured Officer**
Following the incident, Baltimore Police announced that the officer who was shot and hospitalized has been discharged from the hospital. Police Commissioner Richard Worley emphasized the importance of protective gear, stating that the officer’s vest had ultimately saved his life.
**Closing Remarks**
In response to the events that transpired, Mayor Brandon Scott underscored the gravity of the situation, asserting that while no one seeks violence, the safety of both civilians and law enforcement officers must be prioritized. The release of body camera footage in the impending days or weeks is anticipated to shed further light on the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting in South Baltimore.
