An off-duty Baltimore police officer fired at a man who broke into his truck and tried to get away with a bag full of weapons, authorities said.

The man, who was not struck, had targeted the officer’s truck after following him from a gun range, according to Prince George’s County police. Investigators recovered the weapons and robber’s car shortly after the officer fired, police said.
