Baltimore's police commissioner says there were a total of 30 victims, with more than a dozen believed to be minors.
Baltimore Police investigate the site of a mass shooting in the Brooklyn Homes neighborhood on July 2, 2023 in Baltimore, Maryland. A holiday weekend block party in Baltimore ended tragically after multiple people opened fire, killing two and wounding 30 others, many of them under 18, police said.
No arrests had been made by late Sunday. Worley said it wasn't clear if the shooting was targeted or random.The shooting comes amid gatherings around the country leading up to the July Fourth holiday. A shooting in Kansas left seven people with gunshot wounds and two more victims hospitalized after being trampled as people rushed out of a nightclub early Sunday morning, police there said.
The violence in Baltimore occurred the same week federal prosecutors there touted efforts to reduce violent crime in the city. Police have reported nearly 130 homicides and close to 300 shootings so far this year, though that’s down from the same time last year. Authorities have vowed to crack down aggressively on repeat violent offenders.
Gov. Wes Moore said his "heart breaks for these victims, their families, and the Baltimore community that is coping with the loss."
