Police are still looking for those responsible for the deadly mass shooting that occurred early on Sunday morning at a block party in Baltimore. The unpermitted gathering, which resulted in two fatalities and 28 injuries, including injuries to teenagers, led Baltimore Police to believe there were at least two shooters present.
A little after 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, in the 800 block of Gretna Court in Baltimore's Southern District, about six miles south of the Inner Harbor, a shooting occurred, according to the police. According to the police, they received numerous calls reporting a shooting at a block party in the neighborhood.
On recorded police scanner audio from Sunday, a first responder could be heard saying, "I know we got a lot of victims down," in reference to the devastation left behind. "I'm going to need a white sheet, if anyone has one available there in Ambo."
Aaliya Gonzales, age 18, died at the scene, and Kylis Fagbemi, age 20, passed away later at a nearby hospital. Also shot were eleven teenagers, ages 13 to 16.
There were 30 shootings in total, 20 of which involved victims under the age of 18.
Mayor of Baltimore City Brandon Scott said, "This was a reckless, cowardly, act of violence that has taken two lives and altered many, many more." We won't sleep until we get them off, so I hope they don't get much rest.
The shooting in the new video causes people to flee the scene. Police stated that although they are unsure of the exact number of shooters, they are aware that there were more than one.
Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement on Sunday that Maryland "has had enough of watching gun violence continue to ravage our state and our nation." "It is abhorrent that these horrifying shootings keep happening. As a state, we'll keep doing everything in our power to stop senseless acts of violence like the one we witnessed last night. My heartfelt condolences go out to the loved ones of these Maryland residents. You deserve better, and we'll cooperate to give it to you. I'll stand by that.
