Some Baltimore neighborhoods have hired private security to help reduce crime given that city police are short hundreds of officers.
These private security forces are in the spotlight following a shooting in Harbor East on Friday. That's when an armed guard in Harbor East shot a suspected shoplifter in the face.
A heroic school security guard saved a teen after he intervened to stop a gang of machete-wielding thugs from beating him outside a school.
Distressing footage of the incident, which was captured and posted online, shows a group of nine young men, including one armed with a massive machete, kicking and hitting a boy in school uniform on the ground.
