A 4-year-old boy was shot in the leg and a man was killed in a stabbing as violence marred the Fourth of July fireworks show in downtown Baltimore.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the boy was leaving with her parents around 10 p.m. Monday when they heard a loud sound and the boy complained of an injury. Guglielmi says the shooting may have been accidental. He was in stable condition at Johns Hopkins Childrens Center.
Another man was stabbed in the neck before 10 p.m. outside McCormick & Schmicks restaurant. Guglielmi said the victim suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Shock Trauma. The Sun and local TV stations reported that the man later died from his injuries.
My husband and I saw the fireworks at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore 3 years ago... huge mistake!! There were literally riots in the street, large groups wearing gang colors running around everywhere throwing fire crackers into the crowd causing widespread panic, people running and screaming. We couldn't get back into our hotel lobby without showing IDs to huge bouncers at the door. The police responded on motorcycle, horse, and even helicopters circling. It was mayhem! It was like an unbelievable warzone. The next day, not a WORD was mentioned in any MSM source whatsoever. Apparently, this type of violence happens every year in Baltimore on the 4th, and sbynews is the only place to-date I've seen it reported!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen they can't prevent problems with all the police resources in the Inner Harbor area, they have lost control of the city. It used to be that you could feel safe in the Inner Harbor area, not so anymore.
ReplyDeleteRehobeth is also having gang fight problems now on the boardwalk. The real concern in all this violence is that so many people causing the problems are teenagers.
animals!
