1 dead, 6 injured after gunman opens fire at two cookouts in Baltimore: Police
BALTIMORE - At least one person was killed and six injured in a shooting on Sunday (April 28) evening in West Baltimore, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said. According to CNN, the authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying the gunman and more potential victims. The person who died ran behind a nearby church and collapsed, Mr Harrison said in a news conference. But the shooting was not connected to the church, despite earlier reports.
