At least two people were killed and dozens were wounded in a mass shooting in southeast Baltimore early Sunday morning, authorities said. CBS Baltimore reported that the shooting happened at a block party in the city's Brooklyn neighborhood.
Baltimore police officers say they responded to multiple calls of a reported shooting at around 12:35 a.m. An 18-year-old woman, identified as Aaliyah Gonzales, was pronounced dead at the scene, and 20-year-old Kylis Fagbemi was pronounced dead later at a local hospital. Nine of the people injured were transported to hospitals from the scene, while the other 20 victims walked into various hospitals in the area, acting Baltimore City Police Commissioner Richard Worley told reporters on Sunday.
"This investigation is ongoing, and we will not rest until the people responsible are held accountable. This tragedy again shows why we must continue to focus on the amount of illegal guns on our streets that make it into the hands of individuals who should not have them and continuously carry out violent acts in our city. There must be accountability at each level of the illegal gun trade from those using them, those trafficking them to those who manufacture them in ways they know will lead to violence. I'm asking that anyone who has information on who committed this cowardly, violent act to come forward and help us secure justice for the Brooklyn community.
"To support residents of South Baltimore during this time, my office has stood up immediate resources in and surrounding the Brooklyn Homes area. Today, the Brooklyn Homes Community Center will serve as a central place for various city agencies to provide residents immediate aid and services.
Of those injured, 15 were younger than 18 years old, according to Sunday night news release from police.
Nine of those injured remained in nearby hospitals “in various conditions” Sunday afternoon, the commissioner added.
Investigators continue to scour the large crime scene – which spans multiple blocks – and officials urged anyone with information or who may have captured video footage, including from security cameras, to come forward.
