Baltimore police identified the man fatally shot by an officer Saturday afternoon as 31-year-old Maurice Holloman of Belair-Edison, though a relative said his name was Maurice Donald Johnson. Two officers were dispatched to a home in the 3500 block of Elmora Avenue after a report of a "mental case" there — a man disrupting a children's gathering. Det. Donny Moses, a police spokesman, said the man attacked them without warning. After one of the officers fell into a glass table, injuring himself, the man attempted to grab the policeman's gun, Moses said.
