BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – Gunshots rang out in Eastern Baltimore Saturday morning, and when the smoke cleared, four were found shot, and two of the victims died.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, officers from the Baltimore Police Department responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the 900 block of Greenmount Avenue. Upon their arrival, officers discovered three individuals with gunshot wounds. The victims included a 20-year-old male, a 21-year-old male, and a 29-year-old male. All three were immediately taken to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. Tragically, both the 29-year-old and 21-year-old males succumbed to their injuries. The 20-year-old male, fortunately, sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
During the incident, officers also received a report of another shooting victim who had arrived at a local hospital on their own. Officers promptly made their way to the hospital and found a 19-year-old male with a severe gunshot wound(s). The 19-year-old’s condition is currently critical.
