The Baltimore City FOP tweeted that the officer was released from Shock Trauma Thursday morning and will recover.
Harrison said that officers were in the area because of a shift in resources to combat crime. He said they noticed a vehicle they believed to be the same one used by a suspect who allegedly tried to run over one officer and then shot at another officer Tuesday.
Harrison confirmed that the suspect who police encountered Wednesday was the person who was driving the vehicle during Tuesday's incident.
