AGAIN! Police Shoot Man During Narcotics Investigation


Officer's third shooting, 4 year veteran

Apparently the suspect jumped into a car and struck one of the officers with it. The officer is reported to have been treated and released. Baltimore Sun reports a second officer fired at the suspect with a "service revolver." Not sure on the accuracy of this, we know uniformed officers are issued semi-automatics as their primary sidearms. Revolvers, though infrequently used overall are still carried by many specialized undercover units, and also as back up weapons, approved and otherwise.
