A veteran Baltimore police officer was injured and a suspect was killed in a shootout in the 800 block of Vine Street Sunday night in West Baltimore, authorities said.
Police said the officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was being treated at Shock Trauma. CBS and other local news outlets are reporting that the officer is expected to live.
Officers where in the area for what police described as a “crime suppression initiative” when they came across the suspect. The officers apparently approached the suspect in a alley near Vine Street when a shootout began, police said.
The police department will do a robocall to let residents know how long they will be there to investigate.
