Firefighter Charged In Non-Fatal Shooting

A Baltimore City firefighter was charged Friday in a Thursday evening shooting in southwest Baltimore, police said.

Craig White, 58, of the 600 block of Stamford Road, was charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder for allegedly shooting a 23-year-old man in White's home.

The victim was taken to an area hospital.

Sources said White has been with the fire department for more than 20 years and is assigned to Engine 46 on Reisterstown Road.

Neighbor Carlisha Vital told WBAL-TV 11 she was inside cooking when the shooting happened. She said she thought she had heard fireworks, then looked out her window to see police talking to the victim's mother. Vital said the woman's son had been shot in the stomach. She said she called White to try to get him to return to the scene.

"He just said they got into an argument, talking about responsibility, stepping up to the plate and so on and so forth. He said he just snapped and they just started fighting," Vital said.

She said she has heard the victim is in stable condition. The shooting remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 410-396-2488 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 866-7LOCKUP.
