Search underway for suspect who shot at Maryland trooper during traffic stop in Baltimore

The trooper suffered powder burns but no gunshot wounds during a traffic stop shooting; police urge public to report information on the suspect and vehicle.

  • Maryland State Police announced early Tuesday that an alleged gunman fired at a State Trooper during a traffic stop around 3:30 a.m. at Belle Avenue and Milford Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland.
  • The trooper stopped the gray Infiniti for a suspended license plate tag and, after returning with the driver's registration, saw a gun before the door opened and shots were fired.
  • The trooper suffered powder burns, was not shot, and was taken to shock trauma for treatment; police said the trooper did not return fire and the driver fled east on Belle Avenue.
  • Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and Police Commissioner Richard Worley said the Baltimore Police Department is working with Maryland State Police and Baltimore County Police Department and called it a 'senseless act of violence' that 'will not be tolerated'.
  • Authorities released images and urged anyone who recognizes the silver or gray Infiniti with partial license plates, darkly tinted windows, front-end damage, and broken headlights to call 410-653-4200.
