It is unfortunate.Itwant to hear that someone wasshot especially while carryinga child.

ITS UNCLEAR WHAT LEDTO SHOTS BEING FIRED OR IF THEWOMAN WAS THE INTENDED TARGET.ITS JUST ONE 13 SHOOTINGSBALTIMORE CITY POLICE AREINVESTIGATING FROM THISWEEKEND.

IT STARTED WITH TWOFATAL SHOOTINGS FRIDAY NIGHTWHEN POLICE REPORTED 3SEPARATE SHOOTING FROM 9:45 TO10:15.

Some of these things wedo need to do better but itunrealistic to say thattheregoing to make all of this goaway.
