BALTIMORE — A shootout between police officers and a shooting suspect in Cherry Hill Wednesday.

Officers arrived on Spellman Road to discover a 33-year-old man critically wounded.

The alleged suspect, Dontae Johnson, was reportedly still in the area attempting to flee.

When police spotted Johnson, they gave chase.

He's accused of pulling out a gun firing at an officer and security guard, missing both.

Both shot back at Johnson but didn't hit him.

Johnson was ultimately taken into custody and charged with attempted murder. Police say he was prohibited from carrying a firearm due to a previous handgun conviction in 2014.
