12 Injured in Hail of Gunfire at Baltimore Backyard Cookout
Monday, July 27, 2009
BALTIMORE — Detectives were searching Monday morning for a gunman who opened fire at a backyard cookout, wounding 12 people, police department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
None of the dozen victims suffered life-threatening injuries. The victims were hit in the legs, arms, shoulders and backs, and the wounded included a 2-year-old girl and a pregnant 23-year-old woman, police said.
Detectives were interviewing witnesses and working to develop a description of the gunman, who walked into the small backyard of a rowhouse on Ashland Avenue and opened fire with a semiautomatic weapon around 9 p.m., according to police.
The backyard shooting was the first of several occurring within a two-mile radius.
Less than a mile away, two 19-year-old men were shot and killed in a separate incident less than a mile away, Guglielmi said. The victims were identified as Gary Martin and Darien Jones. Police had no immediate suspects.
A third shooting incident left two men with non-life-threatening injuries, Guglielmi said.
Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III was on the scene of both the cookout shooting and the double homicide, Guglielmi said. The incidents highlight the need to rid Baltimore's streets of illegal guns, the spokesman said.
"We can only do so much without help from the community and others," Guglielmi said. "We can put a police car in every driveway, but unless people step up, we can only get so far."

Re: Baltimore cookout shootout
It shows where their priorities are. They don't want to point out that some of their constituency are scumbags because they're scared of offending them. They also don't want to reduce crime because it reduces their budget and the public's dependency on them. Disarming citizens helps them achieve their means without doing anything good for the public at all.
