Baltimore Police opened fire on a man involved in a suspected drug deal. The suspect was shot multiple times.

The incident took place on the 3400 block of Old Frederick Rd., just before 7:00 p.m. Details are sparse, but in the video below, Lt. Col. Cliff McWhite, of the Baltimore Police Department, gives the police account what happened. At this point we have not been able to get any independent witness accounts.

Police say no shots were fired by the suspects. The condition of the man shot is unknown. Also, police have yet to confirm whether the suspect had an actual weapon.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts responded to the scene, but other than greeting this writer, did not interface or dialogue with the media.

Nearly a month ago, Tyrone West died in police custody, as a result of an altercation resulting from a traffic stop. To date, the original purpose or violation for officer pulling over West has not been stated. A final cause of death has also not yet been released.

A man led police on 60-mile-long, high speed car chase Friday night in the Los Angeles area. The incident
was streamed live, via news helicopter, as the pursuit spanned several cities and at least two counties.

Reaching speeds at times near 100 miles per hour, with a cavalcade of police cars in tow, the suspect maneuvered his car across crowded highways and city streets without collision or impact involving other vehicles.

At the vigil last night for recent in-custody fatality Tyrone West, there was a noticeable, heavy police presence. Many people observing this were quite taken aback.

Candle holding supporters, family and friends gathered on the corner of Kitmore Rd and Kelway Rd. 

With uniformed officers all around, in addition to plain clothes units circling in cars, it felt as if Baltimore Police were preparing for something big to go down. Mind you, this was a peaceful vigil, planned to remember a man, who witnesses say was beaten and stomped to death by Baltimore Police.

It should come as no surprise, but I'm not big on looking all around and seeing nothing but blue uniforms. 

Neighborhood welcome committee. There were much more than this.

There were lots of murmurings in the crowd about the heavy presence. Some gave glares and stares. Others weren't so subtle, even calling out the police on the mic while addressing supporters attending the vigil. No doubt, Baltimore Police were an unwelcome presence on this street corner. Just last week they'd killed a man on this very spot.

Police are used to people being afraid and intimidated by them. After All, they've proven time and time again they have the power to kill at will, and suffer no repercussions, always finding a way to justify their violent acts.. So for the average citizen, fear of confrontation and contact is not unreasonable at all.

Unfortunately for those employing psychological tactics of intimidation, some of us aren't so easily moved. Instead of guessing and wondering why the hell there were so many police, I decided to step away from the crowd, and as a dutiful investigative journalist, go to the source and just ask. 

I'd like to thank my brave team of independent, underground guerrilla journalists, the Certified Bomb Technicians, for coming along to not only document the "interview,' but their presence also ensured Baltimore Police would be on their best behavior. An uncommon occurrence these days. 

Below is a raw video clip. A better one is coming, stay tuned for that. The sound isn't that great, but the visuals are priceless. Notice the group of cops on the right, immediately scurrying away from the presence of our cameras. Capt. Johnson on the other hand, being a commander, was somewhat obliged to maintain a professional presence.

Never be afraid to confront your enemy and face your accusers.
