Man fatally shot after swinging bat at squeegee worker

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore’s police commissioner says a man was shot and killed after he swung a baseball bat at a person who cleans windshields at intersections for cash.

Police Commissioner Michael Harrison told reporters Thursday that the 48-year-old man who was shot was driving through an intersection near Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in the afternoon when he encountered so-called squeegee workers and had a heated interaction.

The man drove through the intersection, parked his car and came back with a baseball bat.

He swung his bat at one or more of the squeegee workers, and one shot him.

The group of squeegee workers fled on foot.
