BALTIMORE — Baltimore Police say five people have been shot in a west Baltimore neighborhood.
Department spokesman T.J. Smith says the shooting occurred about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday when a lone gunman shot at people who were on the street.
Four people were shot in the legs and one person suffered a graze wound, Smith said, adding that the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. Four of the victims, who, Smith said, range in ages from 17 to 55, were being treated at hospitals.
This was the second multiple midday shooting in Baltimore in less than a week. On Friday afternoon, one man was killed and four people were hurt in a shooting outside a strip of stores.
Smith reiterated that police need the community’s help in identifying the shooters.
