At least 30 shot at Baltimore party
The latest mass shooting incident to jolt the heart of the free world occurred on Sunday during a block party in Baltimore, United States, when no less than 30 people were shot.
It was the largest shooting incident in the city since 2014.
Police said they received many calls about the shooting, which took place in an area of Brooklyn homes called South Baltimore, adding that two individuals were murdered and three others are in critical condition.
Only 20 victims out of the 28 wounded could walk to the hospital, according to acting police commissioner Richard Worley, who characterised the scene as “extensive.”
According to Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, the shooting emphasises “the need to deal with access” to guns nationwide, not just in Baltimore.
Mr Scott also vowed that the city would do all possible to find the assailants.
“I want those who are responsible to hear me and hear me very clearly. We will not stop until we find you, and we will find you. Until then, I hope with every single breath that you take that you think about the lives that you took and you think about the lives that you impacted here tonight,” he said.
