Baltimore police say officer shot and hospitalized, suspect shot in 'active shooter incident'

A Baltimore police officer and a suspect were shot Tuesday during what authorities described as an "active shooter incident" in Baltimore.

The incident took place at 6200 Park Heights Avenue in northwest Baltimore, police said.

"An officer has been shot & transported to Shock Trauma," Baltimore Police said in a post on X. "A suspect was also shot. Avoid the surrounding areas. More information will be provided as it becomes available."

However, Baltimore Police told Fox News Digital in an email that the shooting "was NOT at a synagogue or religious institution."

Baltimore police said in a follow-up post on X that they remain at the scene and multiple streets are closed, police said. They asked the public to continue to avoid the area.
