Of those injured, three are fighting for their lives in a critical condition.
A Community in Shock
Baltimore’s R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center is treating twelve of the victims, and the University of Maryland Medical Center’s pediatric department is tending to four others, according to Michael Schwartzberg, a spokesperson for the University of Maryland Medical System.
These staggering numbers reveal the shocking severity and wide impact of the Baltimore shooting.
No information on the perpetrator(s) or a possible motive has been provided by the authorities yet.
However, they assure the community that an extensive investigation is underway.
The sound of 20 to 30 gunshots, as reported by Fox News, continues to echo in the hearts of the community and beyond.
Baltimore’s Leadership Responds
Mayor Brandon Scott, deeply affected by the tragedy, condemned the Baltimore shooting as a “reckless, cowardly act” that permanently altered numerous lives.
He called attention to the pressing issue of illegal firearm circulation and the necessity to prevent their possession by those ill-equipped to handle them responsibly.
