The FBI evidence response team, Maryland State Police crime scene unit, and City of Baltimore crime scene unit investigate and collect evidence at a shooting at Eastside District Court in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, on January 31, 2025. The North Avenue District Courthouse in Baltimore is closed on Friday after a shooting. North Avenue and Hartford Road are closed. Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley says a 35-year-old man enters the Eastside District Court on North Avenue in Baltimore around 8:40 a.m. on Friday. ''As he goes into the courthouse, he is clearly suffering from a behavioral crisis, walking back and forth,'' Worley says. ''Sheriff's deputies and the bailiffs try to interact with him. At some point, he withdraws a firearm from his body and points it at his head. The deputies try to get him to drop his weapon.'' Worley says a bailiff is preliminarily believed to have fired two shots, striking the man in the lower extremities. The man fires a shot to his head. He is taken to the hospital in critical condition. The only person shot is the armed man. The bailiff is a retired police officer. ''This, of course, is a tragic situation. I want to thank all the law enforcement involved,'' Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says. ''This again shows behavior and mental health is a real and deep issue. We have to make sure that people who are having this kind of issues don't have that easy access to firearms and weapons.''
