BALTIMORE — In the aftermath of Sunday’s mass shooting in South Baltimore, police continue to search for suspects as city leaders and community members are asking whether authorities properly responded to calls about hundreds of people gathered, including reports about some with guns.
Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Monday that the department was “too late” in having conversations Saturday evening about whether more police resources were needed in the area before the shooting. His comments followed criticism from neighborhood residents and community leaders about the Police Department’s lack of presence at the annual “Brooklyn Day” block party.
“Unfortunately we didn’t get there in time to prevent what happened,” Worley said at a news conference.
