Police To Release Body Cam Footage From Officer-Involved Shooting
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Baltimore Police plan to release more information this week on Friday's police-involved shooting, including body camera footage from the incident.
The suspect who was shot, a 48-year-old man from Baltimore, is still hospitalized in stable condition with what are described as non-life threatening injuries.
Police identified the officers involved as Officer Gary Brown and Officer Supreme Jones. Authorities say the officers first attempted to bring the man, who was wielding knives in the 330 block of Greenmount Avenue around 9:30 a.m. Friday, under control with a taser.
When the man continued to behave erratically, Officers Brown and Jones shot the man multiple times.
According to our media partners at The Baltimore Sun, there have been 11 shootings by Baltimore police this year, but authorities have said none until now had been captured on body camera.
About 600 Baltimore Police officers have had the cameras as part of their uniforms since the rollout of the $11.6 million program began in May.
