The shooting occurred near Spaulding and Queensberry Avenues around 8:50 p.m. local time, where families and friends had gathered outdoors to enjoy crabs, a local favorite 🦀.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley described the scene as chaotic, with “somebody just opened fire” on the crowd. One man remains in critical condition after surgery, while others sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities have not identified suspects or shared a motive, leaving the community on edge.
🔍 “We have little information at this point,” Worley admitted, urging witnesses to come forward. The lack of immediate answers has sparked renewed calls for action against gun violence in the city.
This incident adds to Baltimore’s ongoing struggle with public safety, raising questions about community protections and youth safety. Stay tuned for updates as the investigation unfolds.
