Officials: No Gun Found After Fatal Police Shooting In Baltimore

No gun was found after a man was shot by police this week, but he threatened officers, Baltimore police officials said Wednesday.

City police played body-worn camera video and 911 calls, including calls from Kevin Mason, the man who was fatally shot by police.

Mason told the 911 operator and officers at the scene that he would shoot police officers if they didn't leave his property.

"What we heard on these videos and what we heard from the dispatchers, this was a volatile situation. Certainly, we know that officers get hurt on domestic violence calls," Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said. "There were threats by Mr. Mason to the officers. This situation became more intense."

Harrison said one officer -- John Johnson, a 25-year veteran -- fired his weapon. Harrison said the officer fired only two rounds.

Harrison said the initial call was for a domestic incident.

"Logistically, it appeared to be a tough situation," Harrison said. "No one ever wants to see a life lost."

Harrison said the medical examiner will determine how many times Mason was shot.

Harrison said the officers had no initial knowledge that Mason had a previous run-in with police.
