The two people killed were adults but neither has yet been identified. Police confirmed that 28 others had been injured, three of them critically.

"This was a reckless, cowardly act that happened here," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott told the same news conference

"I want those who are responsible to hear me, hear me very clearly," Scott continued. "We will not stop until we find you, and we will find you."

Addressing the perpetrators directly, the mayor said: "I hope, every single breath that you take that you think about the lives that you took, and you think about the lives that you impacted here tonight."

Mass shootings are so common these days that we hardly blink when we hear or read about another one.

Why can't some people attend a party without shooting it up? I just don't get it.

I don't get it either but there is a certain mentality these days that allows for this horrendous behavior. More people these days seem to have a lower threshold before they go into a very angry state: some of those people have firearms and when an angry person has a firearm there is a very good chance they will use it. Sadly I don't see anything that is going to stop it. It is becoming the norm in America. You just don't want to be around when it happens.

Foxtrot: "It's probably close to 900 to 1,000 people, so just stay back."

Then someone called the police dispatcher alerting officers.

BPD Dispatch: "Caller wants to remain anonymous, states that hundreds of males and females are armed with guns and knives at this location."

For now, it's not clear if officers were actually responding by this time to Gretna Court.

BPD Dispatch: "I'm getting discharging of firearms..815 Herdon Court..people shooting and fighting at the location..(inaudible)."

That call came in about an hour and a half before the deadly shooting.




AM 680 radio reported this am that the southern district would normally have 22 officers on duty that shift, there were 7 on duty that night.

Baltimore police have arrested a 17-year-old and charged him with being involved in a mass shooting at a crowded South Baltimore block party on Sunday.


Investigators have collected bullet casings from more than a dozen guns at the mass shooting scene in Brooklyn, The Baltimore Banner reported Friday.

Prior to the arrest this week, police said they were looking for at least two gunmen. Videos circulating widely on social media showed a young man pulling a large semi-automatic weapon out of his bag and young people hopping a fence to flee the shooting scene.

In the hours after Aaliyah was killed in Baltimore, a video appeared on the popular Instagram page "Murder Ink Bmore" that showed her mother, Krystal, arriving to the crime scene, distraught and wailing. Krystal has now written a powerful FB post about her thoughts on the video:
