BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say three people have been shot to death in a span of about 12 hours.

Officers were called to the 1600 block of Asquith Street about 10 a.m. Sunday and found a 35-year-old man who had been shot in the back of the head. He was pronounced dead at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Police say a possible witness reported seeing a man running from the scene and jumping into a beige or tan vehicle that sped away.
