All of these shootings happened just a couple days after city and state partners announced 260 violent offenders have been arrested in the last month as part of a U.S. Marshal's operation. Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said people should feel a little safer now that they are off the streets but people who live in the neighborhoods want to see more done to protect people and their communities.
