Following a spate of violence Friday in Baltimore, five people were shot Saturday and Sunday, one fatally.
The series of shootings should disgust city residents, as people continue to “cowardly turn to violence to resolve basic conflict,” Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement on Saturday. It also underscores the “urgent need” to address violence from every angle, he said.
“Everyone who loves Baltimore must ask themselves, what more can I do to help prevent violence in our city,” Scott said in an emailed statement. “My hearts and prayers are with the victims and their families.”
