Baltimore mass shooting leaves 1 person dead, 7 others wounded: Police
A mass shooting near a park in East Baltimore, Maryland, Sunday night left one victim dead and seven others wounded, according to police.
Baltimore Police said the incident happened at about 8 p.m. in the 1300 block of Spring St. near Caroline & Hoffman Park.

Officers responded to the scene and found multiple male victims and one female victim suffering from gunshot wounds, Worley said. Police also recovered several firearms at the scene.

Four victims were located at the scene while the other four transported themselves to hospitals. The surviving victims were all admitted to hospitals for medical treatment.
A 36-year-old man died in the shooting, Worley said.
The victims’ ages range from 22 to 45, Worley said. The surviving victims are listed in various conditions, from critical to stable.
Mayor Brandon Scott released a statement following the shooting in which he urged the community to report any information they may have on the suspects.
“Tonight, Baltimore is grappling with the impacts of another mass shooting event that has taken the life of one Baltimorean and irreparably changed several others,” the mayor said. “Investigators from the Baltimore Police Department will diligently work to find and hold those who are responsible accountable for this horrific act of violence. To those who know who was involved — even if they are your loved one — I implore you to do the right thing and urge them to take accountability.”

Scott also attributed Sunday’s shooting to residents’ ability to access firearms.
“These tragic acts of violence — which are still too common in our city — are only possible because of the continued ease of access to guns on our streets,” he said. “We cannot acknowledge this tragedy without acknowledging the role that the proliferation of guns plays in endangering our communities.”
The mayor added: “Tonight, we are holding space in our hearts for the family of the Baltimorean we lost and those who have been injured — and we will continue our work to ensure no Baltimorean is lost to violence. To that end, we will activate a Coordinated Neighborhood Stabilization Response through [the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement], and will offer this community every resource they need to begin the long process to heal from this tragedy.”
The incident remains under investigation.
