Baltimore police say one officer was shot in the wrist while responding to a report of a carjacking, and three suspects remain at large.
Police spokesman T.J. Smith says the shooting occurred late Wednesday night in the Cherry Hill neighborhood. Smith said at a news conference that the officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was recovering at a hospital.
Authorities say the wounded officer and another plainclothes detective pulled over a vehicle believed to be connected to the earlier carjacking that occurred in Federal Hill. As they approached, at least one suspect opened fire.
