Gov. Larry Hogan released a statement Wednesday night on the Baltimore Police detective that was shot in the line of duty.
Tonight the First Lady and I are praying for the Baltimore Police Department Detective who is in Shock Trauma after being shot in the line of duty earlier this evening. Please join us in praying for his recovery.
The individual responsible for this heinous crime will be found, charged, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The Baltimore Police Department has our full support as they track down this violent criminal and bring him to justice.
May God bless the brave men and women of the Baltimore Police Department and all law enforcement who serve and protect us every single day.
Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the 18-year veteran was shot in the head while canvassing for information with a partner. He was in the 900 block of Bennett Place.
There have been four homicides in the last year on that block alone.
The detective is currently on life support.
Police have offered a $60,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect.
