🚨 Baltimore Police Officer-Involved Shooting
On April 2, 2026, Western District officers responded to Wilson Street and Brunt Street for a report of a man being assaulted by multiple individuals.
Officers located 35-year-old Tavon Newton nearby after he fled on foot. During an attempt to take him into custody, Newton resisted and struggled with officers in a parking lot.
Police said an officer deployed a Taser, but Newton continued to resist and gained control of the Taser during the struggle. At that point, one officer discharged his firearm, striking Newton.
Officers provided medical aid before Newton was transported to a hospital in stable condition. A handgun was recovered from his sling bag, and a knife was also recovered at the scene.
The shooting remains under investigation by the Special Investigation Response Team (SIRT) in coordination with the State’s Attorney’s Office.
@MbalulaFikile Why not get the current health care functional first, before we further complicate things even further. Health care budget, how well is it currently spent?
@Am_Blujay We should deal with such people ourselves...cause they stealing from us. Treat them like we would we any thief in kasi.
This is what our tax money go to. While our people suffer 😡🤬
@Am_Blujay Till we start seeing state corruption as crime against humanity, equating it to treason...and dealing with such harshly...our people will remain deprived, taxpayers will continue to feel the pinch, and the corrupt will continue getting richer. (Just a thought)
@Djayrhhee Order must be restored, suck leader.must be beaten up. They know nothing will be done, and tomorrow, NW will be cheering at them, ad if nothing happened.
@Newzroom405 Taxi industry is very selfish. Last when people wanted to strike for the very same thing, they opposed it. Now they increased their taxi fares, traveling is expensive, people quit their jobs. Should fuel go down, taxi fares will still remain inflated...worse, SARS don't know them

@eNCA As a leader, to lose your temper like that when people raise concerns, worse, at a community meeting 😒...lost respect.
Tired of leaders and people making every issue a racial issue, esp when Whites are involved. We are all affected, we suffer together this time, under 1 party
@MTNSouthAfrica I got a call from this number claiming they work for MTN & someone wants to RICA my number. When I asked him,"you w for MTN using this number", he hung up. What is MTN doing with people doing this? I had 2 fraud incidents prior. My sister too.
I love the brand...but how they treat customers and failure to account, sucks!!! I don't know any well designed call which can chow more than 5L of oil per month and VW says, it's acceptable. WTF!!!😡🤬
Oil consumption on VW Golf 7 😡🤬 1L per 1000km, now worse. @VW SA fail to address the issue. This cars were supposed to be recalled. Mechatronic issues too, almost lost my life couple of times, including my kids cause of gearbox issue. VW doesn't give an F.😡🤬
Seeing & hearing such...while the middle class is on the verge of extinction (over taxed, electricity, water, maintaining lifestyles of the elite, etc.). SOE should be funding the fight against unemployment, Covid, research...but our smart leaders have "better" plans, shame us😔
@Warri9r @Cernovich No African wanted ANYONE to leave. As I have said, Africans have been welcoming all nations, some nationals when they come here they undermine, discriminate Africans, and sponsor crimes in RSA, and take advantage of the poor. Same goes to corrupt SA government
@Warri9r @RuttwikB @pally_pale @BhalkeMrudula @AskAnshul Perhaps your question should be, who else got affected by this lootings and why. All races, yet, the image painted out there is like Indians are the only victims.
Africans welcome all races in their neighborhoods. But other races come here and discriminate, then act victims.
