City police shot a man this morning in Northeast Baltimore after his female companion passed officers inside a 7-Eleven a note that said "Help," a city police spokesman said.
The incident happened about 4 a.m. outside the convenience store at Belair Road and Nicholas Avenue, said spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

The man would not show his hands to the officers, and he began to fumble around the interior of the car, leading officers to shoot him, Guglielmi said.
The man was in surgery [at Johns Hopkins Hospital] this morning.
