BALTIMORE — Officials were on scene of a police-involved shooting in Baltimore on Saturday.

The shooting occurred in the 3900 block of Erdman Avenue around 4:50 p.m.

Police say two officers were on patrol when they witnessed an incident. The officers then got out of the car and approached the incident.

At least one of the officers fired their weapon and hit the teen in the arm and he is listed in stable condition.

As the gun laid on the ground, Harrison said the gun appeared to be a replica.
