 Baltimore Police Department Officer Norman Stamp was celebrating his 44th anniversary as a member of his department this weekend when things went very wrong.
According to reports from Officer.com, Stamp became involved in an altercation with other patrons of a Baltimore club and other Baltimore PD Officers were dispatched to there to quell the disturbance.
Stamp left the bar, still involved in the disturbance, wearing a pair of brass knuckles. Officer John Torres ordered Stamp to stop, and when he did not Stamp deployed his Taser, felling Stamp.
Stamp then pulled out his service weapon and Torres fired twice, striking Stamp at least once in the chest. The 65-year-old Stamp struggled to his feet and said: "I didn't know you were
a cop," according to a person familiar with the investigation.
According to Baltimore PD officials, Torres did not recognize Stamp as a fellow Officer because he'd been assigned to a different area than Stamp for his 5 years with the Baltimore PD.
