Hundreds of residents filled the courtyards of the Brooklyn Homes community Saturday night, dancing to local musicians during an annual celebration of the neighborhood in South Baltimore that abruptly turned into chaos when multiple gunmen opened fire on the block party, killing two people and wounding 28 others.
On Monday afternoon, the neighborhood was quiet as residents stayed indoors.
“It looks straight like a lockdown,” said the Rev. Shawn Freeman, a member of a Baltimore outreach group that led a Monday evening peace march through the Brooklyn neighborhood to Gretna Court, where the largest mass shooting in the city’s recent memory unfolded shortly after midnight Sunday.
