Two killed, dozens wounded in Baltimore, US mass shooting- Police
At least two people were killed and 28 others were wounded in a mass shooting early Sunday in the US city of Baltimore, police said.
Police received multiple calls about a shooting just after 12:30 am Sunday at a street party in the city’s Brooklyn neighborhood in Maryland state, Acting Police Commissioner Rich Worley said during a press conference.
“Upon officers’ arrival, we located multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds,” Worley said.
“This is an extensive crime scene, our detectives are going to be here quite a while,” he said.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, speaking to reporters at the crime scene, condemned the shooting.
“This is an absolute tragedy that did not have to happen,” he said.
“It again highlights the impacts and the need to deal with the over-proliferation of illegal guns on our streets and the ability for those who should not have them to get their hands on them,” Scott said.
“We will not stop until we find those cowards who decided to just shoot dozens of people, causing two people to lose their lives,” he said.
