BALTIMORE — A man flees after being shot by a Baltimore Police officer during a Wednesday evening traffic stop.
The driver was reportedly pulled over on W. Franklin Street in Mount Vernon for displaying a suspended license plate.
As officers approached the car, they reportedly noticed a handgun in the driver's waistband.
The driver was ordered to place their hands on the steering wheel, but instead drove off allegedly dragging an officer with them.
That prompted the officer to fire their weapon striking the driver.
