Gun violence continued to surge on Baltimore's west side on Thursday, with at least five people reported shot in three separate incidents.
Since the National Guard and outside law enforcement agencies were deployed to certain areas of the city in response to Monday's unrest, the city has seen six homicides. Protests have been peaceful, but unrelated gun violence has spiked.
A police spokesman said the Northwestern District had been placed on tactical alert due to the violence.
Thursday's violence began at noon. Officers were called to the 800 block of McKean Ave. shortly after noon and found a 22-year-old man shot in the head and a 23-year-old man shot in the stomach.

ReplyDeleteHave the rules of engagement been made chrystal clear?
ReplyDeleteand everything is back to normal now.
ReplyDeleteRight 8:32. I did hear the gangs are eager to get the protesters to stop, because the illegal drug business has tanked since all the unrest. They want it over (for different reasons of course) and are on the side of LE in getting the streets under control.
ReplyDeleteAmmo is on sale at Gander Mtn. so the gangs can stock up for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo true the gangs are losing millions lol. They think the own the right to commit violence in Baltimore. Funny all the gangs were hold up at 1st Baptist church. Wonder who is fronting who. Really strange certain clergy are really tight with the leaders of the BGF and Bloods. Hmmm Money laundering or something more sinister.
