28 Shootings, 9 Fatal, Over Memorial Day Weekend In Baltimore
2015-05-26
[SeeBS Balitmore] BALTIMORE (WJZ)--It's been a violent weekend in Baltimore after a surge of shootings--some deadly across the city.

Police say 28 people were shot, 9 of them killed over this weekend, adding to the record-breaking violence.

The shooting didn't stop on Monday night after a 9-year-old boy and another man were both injured by gun fire in the 2900 block of Arunah Avenue. Police say the child was shot in the leg and another man suffered a graze wound to the head.

New police video of a person of interest in Sunday's deadly shooting in Druid Heights. It's one of several active investigations following a Memorial Day weekend riddled with gun violence across Baltimore City.

From one district to the next leaving 26 people shot and 9 dead.

Councilmember Mary Pat Clarke links the violence to a city still reeling from weeks of unrest.

"It was an earthquake kind of time and i think we're still dealing with the aftershock," she says.

The latest victims died early Monday morning. In the Western District a memorial marks the spot where a man and a woman were shot. The man later died, the woman is in critical condition.

North from there, a triple shooting. A man dies after he's shot in the chest. Then cops discover two other males shot in the incident, including a 17 year old, after they walked to a local hospital.

Neighbors in Govans describe this as a quiet community and say they're surprised the gun violence spilled into their streets.

"It's scary because I've got kids. I don't want anything to happen to my kids, especially around here. It's a peaceful neighborhood," one person said,

In the Eastern District traces of dry blood after a man is shot in the head and left in critical condition.

#7  Black Lives Matter.... except to black criminals who regularly kill other blacks. Not a white guy in sight. What do the "activists" in the liberal paradise do? Blame the other party for this cesspool they have created with their policies.

How about: your youts are untamed animals with no respect for other people/other's lives/ownership of goods. Quit making excuses for them.

#3  It would serve the idiot mayor right if the entire police force resigned en masse. At least she wouldn't have to worry about a police officer killing an "innocent" person.
