Gunman opens fire on West Baltimore cookout, killing 1, injuring 7 others, police say


https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-baltimore-police-shoot-2500-edmondson-avenue-church-20190428-story.html


Eight people were shot, leaving one dead, in West Baltimore Sunday evening as police say a man opened fire on a cookout.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said the gunman approached two cookouts at the corner of Edmondson and Whitmore avenues and began firing indiscriminately into the crowd, striking several men and women.

Harrison said that one man ran toward the Perkins Square Baptist Church and was later found dead . Six of the victims were taken to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. A police spokeswoman later said an eighth victim, an adult man, walked into a hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.

... how much longer is this insanity gonna keep going?

Japan has something like 10 gun murders per year and that is because they don't have all those fucking guns.


This mass shooting will be the last one until we have the next one.
