BALTIMORE – A fight at a Baltimore nightclub spilled onto the street early Sunday and led to an eruption of gunfire that killed a police officer and another man and left four people hurt, police said.
One of those wounded also was a police officer, who was shot in the leg, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. Investigators were trying to determine if officers may have fired on a fellow officer whose badge and other identifying markings came off his uniform during the scuffle, he said.
No arrests have been made, but dozens of people were being questioned, Guglielmi said.
"This is an absolutely horrible incident ... I prayed we would never lose another officer, but here we are again," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said. An off-duty Baltimore detective was killed in October when he was hit in the head during an argument over a parking space.
Authorities said officers arrived at the Select Lounge to find a large fight and called for backup. Investigators still weren't sure if anyone besides officers had fired their weapons.

ReplyDeleteCharm City at its best.
ReplyDeleteFights like these are routine in Ocean City. I remember about 3 years ago, me and my wife took our son to Ocean City to see the Fireworks on July 4 and the teen club had a big fight. Granted, this was not a under 21 club but this is another example of crime is everywhere. This is a terrible tragedy for the families. Yesterday they were saying that a fellow police officer was shooter. How did this happen? Such a shame.
