Baltimore deputy police commissioner robbed at gunpoint

One of Baltimore’s newest deputy police commissioners and his wife were robbed at gunpoint Friday night near Patterson Park, police said.

Deputy Police Commissioner Daniel Murphy (who was unarmed) and his wife were approached around 9 p.m. by four men in a large white SUV at the 2200 block of East Pratt Street, police said in a statement.

Two approximately 18-year-old men got out of the SUV and approached the couple. The men announced it was a robbery and showed a gun before fleeing with a wallet, a purse, some cash and multiple cell phones, the press release said.

Southeast District detectives are heading the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 410-396-2422.

Those who wish to remain anonymous can call the Metro Crime Stoppers tip line, at 1-866-7LOCKUP.

that the NRA will be telling us that if he was a "real policeman" he would have been armed and none of this would have happened.
