Mary Bubala traces one gun’s deadly trail, asking what can be done to get these dangerous weapons off our streets.
Just after midnight, a bad guy with an illegal gun opened fire, killing a man in Northeast Baltimore. The first shooting rang out in the 2600 block of East Monument Street. While detectives were on the scene gathering evidence, there was another shooting 45 minutes later and just blocks away. The same suspect reportedly shot and killed another man. When they got to the crime scene on North Rose Street, it was the same gun.
“One gun, two families whose lives have been destroyed at at least changed in a matter of minutes,” said Donny Moses, Baltimore City Police Department.
The illegal gun is just one of thousands taken off city streets since then. But how did that gun — a Rossi .38 caliber revolver — end up here?

ReplyDeleteIf the druggies want to kill each other, why not make a sport out of it like in the Roman days, we could have them fight to the death in gun fights at a stadium.
ReplyDeleteThink of the money that could be made for Maryland!
Baltimore is a haven for blk. killings and lawsuits. Ask the mayor.
ReplyDeleteThe handgun in question was illegal, not banned. It became illegal when it was stolen from the gun shop.
ReplyDeleteI would think who was killed and why were they killed is more important. Guns are not illegal nor do they cause crime. That lies in people's hearts. Passing even more unconstitutional and infringing laws will not stop any of it. Never has, never will. They want you scared of guns so you will be willing to give them up when they come for them. So-called legal guns kill too. Just look at all the murders committed by cops for example.
