Scott’s office is distributing letters offering community-based services for residents in the Brooklyn Homes area, which he described as a public housing facility. “Folks were out there having a celebration and then at some point, gunshots rang out and folks of course were trying to get away, get out of there.” “It’s an event that happens in Brooklyn every year,” he told CNN’s Victor Blackwell and Amara Walker. Scott said the block party was in celebration of Baltimore’s Brooklyn neighborhood, which he described as a working-class neighborhood filled with immense pride. Just two days into the month, this is one of three mass shootings in July and one of 338 mass shootings in the US in 2023, according to the Gun Violence Archive. “This tragic incident is another glaring, unfortunate example of the deep issues of violence in Baltimore, in Maryland and this country and particularly gun violence and the access to illegal guns.” “This was a reckless, cowardly act of violence that has taken two lives and altered many, many more,” the mayor said. And it’s a reminder of the deadly consequences of firearms getting into the wrong hands, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said in the Sunday afternoon news conference. The violence marks yet another instance during which a celebration turned into a tragedy, with lives lost and others permanently altered. We don’t know if they were targeted or if (the shooters) were just shooting indiscriminately down the street,” Worley said. “All we know right now is that we had multiple (shooters) open fire on a large crowd of people who were out during the block party. Authorities have not shared information about a potential motive. There were “at least two” people who opened fire during the shooting, but authorities are investigating there may have been more, Worley said. Investigators continue to scour the large crime scene – which spans multiple blocks – and officials urged anyone with information or who may have captured video footage, including from security cameras, to come forward.
