A firefighter, who was in uniform, and the man walking with him were struck, Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis told WBAL.

The 43-year-old firefighter was struck in the hand. The man, 65, was hit in the leg.

Davis told reporters "...It's brazen, it's arrogant, it's unacceptable."

He added that the man aim the gun at them and intended to fire at them. "Thank God they're alive."

This shooting occurred hours after three teens were shot and killed in another incident in Baltimore.

An FDNY lieutenant was shot early Friday morning while responding to a possible house fire.
