\n Baltimore City Police Overwhelm Suspect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Tyrone Domingo Banks allegedly suffered from mental illness. Reports indicate he desired to commit suicide by police, according to wbaltv.com<\/a>. After suspecting the man shot at an officer the night before, police spotted Banks on Aug. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We knew for a fact that this was the subject who tried to run over one of our officers the night before,\" said Baltimore Police Commissioner Micheal Harrison, reported wbaltv.com. \"We knew for a fact that it was the subject who fired upon an officer in a different part of the city, and this subject could have caused harm to either more officers or other citizens through the night and throughout the day, and so yes, there was a heightened concern.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baltimore City Police Respond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Officer body cam<\/a> and Foxtrot footage shows the suspect point the gun at people on several occasions during the chase. Banks finally crashes his car into a tree, and Baltimore City Police respond with overwhelming firepower. At least 13 officers fired their weapons, according to wbaltv.com. Banks died later a local hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We as a police department have to be accountable for where every one of our rounds ends up, and we have to be accountable for collateral injuries, collateral damages, collateral deaths. Every time we discharge a firearm, this is of concern for us,\" Harrison said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police were still unsure if the suspect actually fired his weapon. However, a female bystander and one officer received gunshot wounds during the shootout, reported wbaltv.com. The wounded female bystander's sister called for caution from officers when engaging threats in public:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
