BALTIMORE – Baltimore police say that fellow officers fired the gun shots that killed a plainclothes officer during a melee outside a nightclub.
A 22-year-old civilian was also killed in the early Sunday morning shooting.
Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefield III said on Monday that no civilians fired any shots.
Officer William Torbit Jr. was on duty in plainclothes when he responded to a report of trouble at the club. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi (goo-lee-EHL-mee) says Torbit was trying to break up a fight when he was attacked and pulled out his weapon to defend himself.

Will his death be listed as "killed in the line of duty" or will he be listed under "killed by the police" statistic? Oh yeah, thats right --- we are not allowed to know how many citizens are killed by the police each year....YOU KNOW he didn't point his gun at a uniformed officer. They shot him anyway. The more things change, the more they stay the same....
