No charges in fatal shooting of police officer, civilian at Select Lounge

Baltimore State's Attorney Gregg Bernstein said Thursday that no one will face criminal charges in the January shooting outside a downtown club that killed a veteran officer and a 22-year-old civilian. Investigators believe that Officer William H. Torbit Jr. shot and killed bar patron Sean Gamble in a struggle, and that the four uniformed officers returned fire unaware that Torbit was a fellow officer. Forty-two rounds were fired by the five officers, including Torbit.
