BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore City Police are investigating a number of homicides and shootings after another violent weekend in the city.
Five people were murdered and seven other non-fatal shootings were reported to police over the weekend. Another fatal shooting was reported in broad daylight Monday, bringing the homicide total to 325 so far this year. At the same time last year, the city had recorded 336 homicides.
Two of the homicide victims were in the city to sell a gun, Mayor Brandon Scott said during a press conference Monday.
Meanwhile, two women were gunned down Sunday night at the intersection of Old Frederick Road and South Kossuth Street. Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said the victims may have known their killer.
“We heard it last night. It was so close that it sounded like it was in our yard. That’s how close the shots were,” one neighbor said.
How pathetic that the only things the MSM does are count the dead and ask neighbors how they feel. Not ever is there a moment of noting that politicians are without accountability and a clue. If only they’d own the failures.
No worries for they have a new mayor and everything will be good
