BALTIMORE — After a violent weekend across Baltimore, the impacts of rampant gun violence were written across the faces of city residents: from grieving family members to concerned neighbors, all frustrated and overwhelmed by the growing death toll.
At least four people were killed and six others injured in weekend shootings, according to Baltimore Police. The instances of violence spanned the city, from Carrollton Ridge and Charles Village to Ednor Gardens-Lakeside near Lake Montebello.
“My boys know the difference between gunshots and fireworks,” said Crystal Hamrick, 27, who lives in Carrollton Ridge. She was referring to her nephew and two sons, ages 11 and under. “They shouldn’t have to know the difference.”
