Mass Shooting In US City Of Baltimore Leaves 2 Dead And 28 Hurt

Police said that at least two people were murdered and 28 wounded in a mass shooting early Sunday in the US city of Baltimore.

Acting Police Commissioner Rich Worley said during a press conference that police received many calls of a gunshot shortly after 12:30 am Sunday (04:30 GMT) in the city’s Brooklyn neighborhood in Maryland state.

“Upon officers’ arrival we located multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds”, Worley added.

According to Police Commissioner, one adult woman was found dead at the scene and nine other victims were evacuated from the location to area hospitals.

“Twenty more people were sent to hospitals in the region”, the commissioner continued.

The other deceased person was likewise an adult. He stated that three people are in critical condition.

“Investigators are seeking to identify a suspect and uncover the motivation for the shooting”, Worley added.

“This is an absolute tragedy that did not have to happen”, stated Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott at the press conference.

Scott stated, “It once 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”.

“We will not stop until we find those cowards who decided to just shoot dozens of people, causing two people to lose their lives”, Scott added.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, the United States has the highest rate of gun deaths of any developed country, with more guns than residents — 20,200 in 2022.
