Baltimore, Maryland — The Baltimore Police Department released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took place in a Broadway East home Sunday morning. Baltimore police say officers fatally shot a man who was holding a woman at knifepoint. Police identified the man as 49-year-old Timothy Fleming, of Baltimore. On Sunday, May 16, officers responded to the 1800 block of E. Lafayette Ave for a report of a man wielding a knife. Once on location, Officer Gaston Melendez and his trainee arrived at the location and spoke to a child who said he had called 911 on his father, who was attempting to stab his mother with a knife. Officers witnessed, Timothy Fleming, holding his fiancée, Shannon Burnham, on the floor at knifepoint.
A relative of the fiancée is also seen in the video. Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation by speaking with Fleming and asking him to drop the weapon or let the victim go. Fleming ignored the officers’ commands and leaned towards the victim as if he was going to stab the victim. Two officers discharged their weapons, striking Fleming. Officer Melendez fired his weapon two times. Officer Zimmerman fired his weapon seven times. An officer was able to rescue the victim to safety. She had not been stabbed. The trainee rendered aid to Fleming. Medics responded to the scene and pronounced him dead.

Wtf she starts screaming like a banshee after the threat to her is neutralized! Was she stabbed? Who the hell knows, she screams anyway. Good riddance!
Another excellent shoot. Bravo.
Knife my ass that’s a gotdamn Mini katana!!!
They just prevented a murder. Nice reactions.
These guys are lucky he wasn't really about that action. Because they were slow as hell didn't even have their guns out.
He's a real Baltimore Po-Leece
Man this was so so close. when I saw the first body cam I was thinking man I hope that guy has somebody behind him but I hope he doesn't go deaf after his partner shoots. Then I saw the second body cam I said oh shit it's on
can you believe these people breed
He faked the stab strikes to get shot on purpose. He held back. He wasn't going to stab her
SHE'S CALLING FOR "JUSTICE" against the police now. You can't help some people
After reading her comments on Facebook demanding justice for him, I kind of wish the officers wouldn't have shown up
"What can we help you change, what can we fix?"
Good guys at work
That jack ass hit the camera. Arrest him and did he even stabb her ? Look like he just was acting like he was to.
Rough call to attend, narrow hallway, hidden cupboards and a guy on the edge, kudos to those officers.
Good shooting officers..
7:56 officer realizes his right ear is now deaf
Black man with a knife and isn’t shot on sight 😱😱
If I was the man in first part , that whole time my thoughts would’ve been a super kick straight down
Lebron is probably so mad that the police didn't let him kill atleast 2 people before shooting him
I don't think she'll need the restraining order now
Good job officers
Sorry I'd shoot my own dad if this was my mom
Towards the end, Zimmerman again asks Melendez if he's alright and Melendez replies "yeah, I'm alright…just my ear." Translation: thanks for blowing out my eardrum, partner.
Twist of events: the woman sues 🙄
That little girl saved her mothers life calling 911 immediately and stopping the threat. Thankfully the suspect was shot and the victim survived.
This is liberal policing. Let a suspect hold someone at knife point for several minutes without having your gun out. Dumb shit.
That house is so fu… claustrophobic, it´s like a giant rat maze !
At some point the police are going to stop going to these calls- all they get is disrespect and hate for saving someone's life
So the screaming lady was the actual victim. 🤔
Wonder what excuse queen James will come up with for this one
Big ass knife man
Toll paid.
