Baltimore Police Sergeant Isaac Carrington is currently fighting for his life after being shot multiple times on Thursday afternoon outside his home in an attempted robbery. Sgt. Carrington is currently in critical condition but was taken into surgery Friday afternoon.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison told media that "an initial investigation revealed that the 43-year-old Carrington was standing in front of his lawn, speaking with a neighbor, when an unknown vehicle believed to be an Acura, pulled onto the street."

Then, a masked gunman hopped out of the vehicle and demanded property. The neighbor threw down his personal belongings and ran. Witnesses say that Carrington, who was not in uniform, attempted to subdue the assailants but he was overpowered.

"They were kicking him and then they began to shoot him repeatedly...They began to shoot, and I heard like four or five gunshots, and then they took something from him," a witness told a local NBC affiliate. "They went off in a black car."
