BALTIMORE (WJZ)—A 24-year-old Navy veteran is in intensive care after being shot by city police Thursday night. His family tells WJZ that he was testing out a shotgun after being the victim of a home invasion.

Mike Schuh spoke exclusively to the man’s father.

Police say officers responded to reports of shots fired Thursday night outside a home in the 8700-block of Danville Avenue.

“They went to the rear of the location to investigate. They encountered an individual that was armed with a shotgun. During the course of that encounter, one of our officers discharged, striking the suspect,” said Sgt. Eric Kowalczyk, police spokesman.

Shot above his heart was 24-year-old Navy veteran Nick Romano. The police bullet exited his back. His spleen was removed at the hospital.

In the freer states, it is hardly uncommon for patriots to take advantage of their own property to memorialize the days when they set up target practice.

That was, of course, before the infamous “Take All your Firearms to the Nearest Large Body of Water for a Boating Excursion” day.

Alas, the casualties of that fateful day are uncountable.

Gasp! A free man shooting in his own back yard?

We can’t have that! Fire!

Your spleen is above your heart?

He was standing on his head at the time.

We’re not talking about shooting on a rural piece of property. We’re talking about shooting up your backyard in urban Baltimore. And people are surprised that the cops reacted badly when confronted with an armed man in a crime-riddled area?

How much does a hospital make off of any surgery?

I don't know, that's why I asked. I have heard that some organs are valuable, however. :)

I don’t call that “reacting badly”.

I call that an attempted execution.

Shoot first, ask questions later should NEVER be defended or excused.
