7 People Shot, 1 Killed In Northwest Baltimore Shooting: Police

BALTIMORE, MD — Seven people were injured Wednesday afternoon following a shooting in northwest Baltimore, according to police. One of them ultimately died.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims," Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said during a news conference. "We have a mass casualty incident with seven individuals shot."

According to Harrison, police responded to a shooting at the intersection of Park Heights Avenue and Shirley Avenue around 12:24 p.m.

Police said a silver four-door Lexus pulled up to the intersection where a group of people were sitting and standing.

Two people got out of the vehicle and opened fire on them for reasons unknown at this time before leaving the scene.

"Two [of the victims] were transported to Shock Trauma. The other five were walk-ins at Sinai Hospital. One died," Harrison said. "We're waiting on further conditions but we believe at this time are non-life-threatening injuries."

"In broad daylight, the brazenness of these offenders to pull up, get out of a car and then open fire on a group of people who were minding their own business is unconscionable," he continued.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the shooting to contact Metro Crime Stoppers Of Maryland at 1-866-7Lockup.

"What we need to know right now is if there is anyone who, saw, heard or knows anything about this shooting, about the silver Lexus, about the individuals who were in that Lexus - even if they were your own family members, we need to know," Harrison said.
