On Saturday, at least one person was shot and killed and two other people were injured, police said. After 6 p.m. Saturday, police went to the corner of Pennsylvania and Laurens Ave., where they found two adult men and an adult woman shot, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said.
Police believe a gunman or several gunmen opened firebut they don’t know whether they were shooting at people in a car or at people on the sidewalk.
Baltimore police say one of the men, a 43-year-old driver, was found dead at a nearby hospital. Both the 23-year-old woman and the 65-year-old man who are adults are said to be in stable condition.
Have you heard the news lately? More gunfire incidents have been reported, including the following:
The shooting caused a car accident that injured two boys, ages 2 months and 3 years old, Baltimore police said in an updated press release on Sunday. Harrison had first said that one of the people shot was a two-year-old child, but that was not true.
“After medical treatment, doctors determined that the children had no gunshot wounds. Both victims suffered head trauma and lacerations as a result of the collision with the vehicle that occurred when the driver was shot.
– said the release.
Police say the 3-year-old is stable and the 2-month-old is “critical but stable.” Police have not yet said who or who might be responsible for the shooting.
At a press conference on Saturday night, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott pleaded with the public to come forward with all possible information.
“Whoever did this tonight is a coward”
– he said.
“There’s no if, and if, but about it.”
“We have to go a step further and be better for ourselves. We need to be better off to stop treating each other the way other people have treated us in this country for many, many years.
– Scott added.
