Gun Violence

Baltimore City Councilman Mark Conway, chair of the council's Public Safety Committee, joins Midday to discuss the committee's hearing on the Brooklyn Homes mass shooting.

“All we can do is hope and pray they don't forget about us after 45 days."

The Brooklyn Homes neighborhood experienced a tragic mass shooting in the early morning hours of July 2. We get an update on the police case and the community response from WYPR reporter Emily Hofstaedter and Baltimore Brew Senior Editor and Reporter Mark Reutter.

The 17-year-old has been charged with five gun-related misdemeanors.

The 17-year-old male faces four charges, but police have not identified him as a shooter.

Interim MONSE director Stefanie Mavronis clarified the relationship between the police and Safe Streets by writing that the program’s success depends upon the “rapport amongst the community they serve.”

Seven people remain hospitalized Monday afternoon, four in critical condition, after a shooting that killed two and injured 28.

The shooting at the annual Brooklyn Day block party is the most people shot in one incident in Baltimore since at least 2015.

Six people were shot — three of them fatally — on Sunday at a house on Paddington Place near Edgewood Road.
