1 dead, 7 injured in shootout at Baltimore gathering, police say

A man was killed and seven people were hospitalized with injuries in a shootout in Baltimore on Sunday night, police said.

The deceased was described by Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley as a 36-year-old man. The injured included six other men and one woman, who ranged in age from 22 to 45, he said.

Some victims were in critical condition, Worley said, and some had been stabilized.

The violence was reported just after 8 p.m. at a gathering on the 1300 block of Spring Street, he said. “At some point it looks like multiple people opened fire,” Worley said.

He said investigators recovered multiple guns from the scene, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was assisting with the department’s investigation.

Despite rain in the area, Worley said police were quickly on scene and were able to gather and mark possible evidence.

“We’ve got a lot of evidence,” he said, “and we’re looking for a lot of video.”
