BALTIMORE, Md. (WJZ) -- A man was shot multiple times during a shootout with officers in Northeast Baltimore late Tuesday night, according to police.

"It appears the initial shots were fired at officers," Col. Brandford said.

The suspect was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where, at last check, he was listed in stable condition, according to police.
