The unidentified officer was at a barbershop in the city when the suspect entered the business and killed the barber, authorities said
An off-duty police officer who was getting a haircut Saturday soon shot and killed a suspect believed to have been behind a weekend shooting spree in Baltimore that left two people dead.
Police arriving at the barbershop “learned that an armed gunman walked into the business and shot and killed” a male barber before an off-duty police officer who was in the business at the time “shot the suspect, killing him,” according to a statement posted on social media by the Baltimore Police Department.
“Investigators believe that the suspect involved in this shooting was also responsible for the shooting that occurred today in the 5000 block of East Oliver Street and the Homicide that occurred in the 4600 block of Eastern Avenue,” the statement said.
At a news conference, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said the unidentified off-duty officer “responded to the shooting immediately and with great bravery produced his firearm and fired at the perpetrator, striking the perpetrator.”
