BALTIMORE (AP) - Police say a robbery in downtown Baltimore led to an exchange of gunfire between officers and the suspects, who have not been apprehended.
Baltimore police said in a statement that officers responding to an in-progress robbery at a 7-11 store around 1:10 a.m. Tuesday were fired upon by two suspects. The officers returned fire, and the suspects fled on foot in opposite directions.
Police spokesman T.J. Smith said at a news conference it’s “amazing” none of the officers was hit. He says police do not know whether the suspects were struck.
