1 dead, 5 injured in Baltimore mass shooting

A man has died following a mass shooting in Baltimore on Saturday night, where five others were injured. 

Police said officers were called just after 8:45 p.m. to the intersection of Spaulding and Queensbury avenues in Northwest Baltimore where the shooting took place.

When they arrived at the scene, police found six people — four adult males, one adult woman and a young girl — with gunshot wounds. They were transported to hospitals.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said the 5-year-old girl was shot in the hand, but is expected to recover.

“Thankfully, it doesn’t appear that her injury is very serious,” Worley said.

One of the men shot, a 38-year-old, was in critical condition Saturday and was taken in for surgery. Police said Sunday morning that he had died from his injuries. 

The four other victims are between 23 and 52 years old. They are believed to be suffering from non-life-threatening injuries. 

Worley said police are still investigating the motive for the attack.

“It just looked like some people were sitting outside on the porch and having some crabs,” he said. “And looked like somebody just opened fire.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Baltimore police at 410-396-2455.
