Two law enforcement officers assigned to a U.S. Marshals Service task force were shot Wednesday afternoon in northeast Baltimore while serving an arrest warrant for a man wanted for attempted murder, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s office confirmed to Fox News.
The shooting unfolded shortly after noon in the city’s Frankford neighborhood, the Baltimore Sun reported. One officer was injured in the leg and the other in the stomach, U.S. Marshals Service spokesman David Lutz told The Associated Press in an email. Paramedics rushed both officers to a nearby hospital for treatment. Their injuries were believed to be non-life threatening.
One officer was a Baltimore County detective, the other is a detective in the city of Baltimore. Both were assigned to the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force with the U.S. Marshals Service.
