This is the second shooting involving Baltimore Police in two days. Police shot a 48-year-old in Bolton Hill on Monday. Police say Autumn Elizabeth Denny was wielding a knife in the hallway of an apartment building before going into a room and locking the door.

Though they gave verbal commands and attempted to de-escalate the situation, Denny did not cooperate, police officials said. Police fired at her and shot her in the leg. Denny was treated at a nearby hospital for two gunshot wounds, apprehended and now faces assault and weapons charges, police said.
