Baltimore mass shooting: 1 dead, 5 injured in outdoor gathering gunfire; police search for suspect

One person died and five others were injured, including a 5-year-old girl, in Baltimore after a mass shooting in a neighborhood Saturday night.

The shooting happened shortly before 8:50 pm near Spaulding and Queensberry Avenues , where residents had gathered outside for a crab feed, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said. “It looks like somebody just opened fire,” he added as quoted by ABC News.

The 38 year old man, whose name has not been released, was taken to a hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead early Sunday.

The other victims include a 23-year-old woman and three men, ages 32, 33, and 52. Police said they are “believed to be suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.”

The 5-year-old girl was struck in the hand. “Thankfully, it doesn’t appear that her injury is very serious,” Worley said.

Police have not released any details about a suspect, and the motive remains under investigation. This is a developing story.
