An off duty city police officer was critically wounded and a 34-year-old mental patient was shot and killed yesterday morning during a scuffle between the two in a room adjacent to the emergency room at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. A nurse who had been monitoring the psychiatric-care room on closed-circuit television watched helplessly as the shooting episode unfolded and the sound of gunfire rang through the corridors. Employees and patients of the East Baltimore hospital-not knowing where the shots were coming from-dove to the floor for cover as six rapid shots rang out from the small isolated room, located on the East Monument street side of the hospital.

During the early morning hours of September 20, 1986, a citizen was traveling home from work; when he stopped for a red light at Frederick and Boswell Avenues, his 1978 Dodge was rear-ended by a pick-up truck. They flagged down a motorist who offered help, and went to call police to the scene. Officer Robert Alexander of the Southwest District received that call, and responded to help. On arrival he activated his overhead lights to provide a margin of safety for other motorist.
