Baltimore police said they're looking for an "armed and dangerous" suspect who shot anofficer on Tuesday before carjacking at least one person to make his escape.
The officer was transported to Shock Trauma with a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the abdomen, police said early on Wednesday.
“[The injury] is likely to be treated without surgery,” Commissioner Michael Harrison said, according to Baltimore's WJZ-TV. “The officer was wearing body armor, which very likely saved his life.”
The shooting happened shortly before 9:30 p.m. in the 1000 block of Light Street in Federal Hill. The officer was on patrol when he spotted an erratic vehicle and believed the driver to be under the influence.
He attempted to pull over the vehicle, which crashed and a chase on foot ensued, police said. They said the suspect later discharged a firearm, which struck the officer in the lower abdomen.
The suspect then carjacked a blue Toyota Camry and possibly a second car to make his getaway, Harrison said, according to Fox 45 Baltimore.
