Baltimore police fatally shot a man in West Baltimore Saturday
after he slashed an officer who was investigating a burglary
complaint, officials said.  The shooting occurred at about 12:30
p.m. in the 1600 block of W. Lexington St. Anthony Guglielmi,
the department's chief spokesman, said officers received a 911
call for a possible burglary and encountered a man on the third

officer, cutting him on the face. A second officer fired at the
suspect multiple times. The suspect was pronounced dead a short
time later, and the officer was taken to a local hospital for
treatment.  A knife and a broken bottle were found at the scene,
police said, and it was unclear which had been used as a weapon.
