6 Shot Near Baltimore Nightclub, Officer Killed

Authorities say one Baltimore police officer has died and also another man after shooting erupted near a downtown nightclub following reports of a fight.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the 33-year-old officer and the man died after being shot early Sunday.

Guglielmi declined to immediately identify the victims by name. He says a second officer was injured with a shot to one leg and three women were also injured. He had no reports on their conditions.
