BALTIMORE — Gunfire erupted Wednesday afternoon in Northwest Baltimore, leaving multiple people injured.
Police confirmed a total of seven people shot at the intersection of Park Heights and Shirley Avenues. One of them, a 24-year-old man, died.
Five of the six victims, reportedly walked into nearby Sinai hospital following the incident.
As of Thursday morning four of them remain in critical condition with one stable. Status of the sixth victim is currently unknown. Their ages range from 25 to 70-years of age.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said two shooters allegedly pulled up in a silver 2016 Lexus CT200H, and opened fire on a crowd of people in the area.
The two then took off on Park Heights Avenue, and have yet to be identified or arrested.
Investigators did release these photos of the car believed to be involved.
There is no word yet on a potential motive.
“It should hit home when it hits home,” said Pam Curtis, President of Park Circle Community Association. “Unity is power people say, ‘Oh yeah, we need the police,’ but we are the community there’s power in our voices coming together as one. It shouldn't have to hit home for it to hit home. Enough should've been enough.”
