A Baltimore police officer has fatally shot an armed robbery suspect at a convenience store.
The Baltimore Sun reports that the shooting happened just before 3 a.m. Monday at a 7-Eleven store in northeast Baltimore.
Police said an officer was checking in on the store when he came upon a robbery in progress.
WBAL New Radio reports that a police spokeswoman says the officer shot the suspect in the store’s parking lot. She said the suspect had a sawed-off shotgun. He later died at a hospital.
Police said the officer is a 17-year veteran of the police department. The spokeswoman said the officer was wearing a body camera. That video will be reviewed.
The officer, store employees and witnesses were not injured.

That’s the way to do it! This wouldn’t have happened during Obama’s legacy. No more free-for-all!
One less armed robber in Baltimore. I’m sure his mother is going to say he was a choirboy who meant no harm.
