BALTIMORE (WJZ)—A 24-year-old Navy veteran is in intensive care after being shot by city police Thursday night. His family tells WJZ that he was testing out a shotgun after being the victim of a home invasion.
Mike Schuh spoke exclusively to the man’s father.
Police say officers responded to reports of shots fired Thursday night outside a home in the 8700-block of Danville Avenue.
“They went to the rear of the location to investigate. They encountered an individual that was armed with a shotgun. During the course of that encounter, one of our officers discharged, striking the suspect,” said Sgt. Eric Kowalczyk, police spokesman.
Shot above his heart was 24-year-old Navy veteran Nick Romano. The police bullet exited his back. His spleen was removed at the hospital.

Go easy. Journalism is one of a handful of degrees you can obtain while consistently stoned. Journalism. What you do when you get fired for saying 'That, with fries?'

This was a setup by Rimshot Joe Biden. He was the scumbag that told everyone to buy a shotgun.

I’m sure the spleen was damaged from the ensuing kicking he got when on the ground.

Maybe they should have just suggested that he take it to a range and let it go at that. Maybe he should have done that from the start? If the police are responding to a call about someone shooting a firearm in their back yard and then come across a man toting a shotgun, then it's easy to see how that can end badly.

Removing the spleen buys the docs some time to figure out what was wrong with the patient. The bullet hole didn't give it away?

You are correct. These damn slaves are not allowed to possess weapons in the first place. They should be shot on sight. Weapons are for the lords and masters only. But, in defense of the guy that was shot, I doubt that he knew that someone called in on him.

Obviously there was no reason to remove his spleen; there never is, but they always do it.What's the monetary value of a spleen to the hospital?
