Off-Duty City Officer Shot At Gwynn Oak Home

An off-duty Baltimore City police officer was shot Wednesday night at his home in Gwynn Oak, Baltimore County police say.

Around 11:22 p.m. Wednesday, officers were called to the officer's home after a man, later found to be the 50-year-old off-duty officer, was shot through his front door. County police say he went to answer a knock at the door and was shot before he opened it. The man is expected to survive.

Police are looking into whether it was a targeted shooting, but don't believe it's connected to any criminal activity on part of the officer. They are withholding the victim's name and address due to safety concerns.

Baltimore police haven't yet released a statement on the incident.
