4 Adults And 1 Juvenile Shot In Northwest Baltimore, Police Say
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Five people were shot in Northwest Baltimore on Tuesday night, marking the second mass shooting in the city within eight hours.
Baltimore police said during a press conference that four adults and one juvenile were injured during a shooting in the 2800 block of Boarman Avenue that occurred around 8:56 p.m.
Three of the gunshot victims—all males—were taken by ambulance to local hospitals while two others arrived at a hospital on their own accord, police said.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said one group was standing near the intersection and another group was close by. Conflict erupted between them.
