09/21/2000– Baltimore City Police Commissioner Ed Norris (center) listens to a suspect give his version of events in a call that he threatened someone with a gun at a men’s shelter at the 2200 block Greenmount Av during a ride-along with the Commissioner through Baltimore’s Eastern district Thu., Sept. 21, 2000.
