Gunman Opens Fire on Md. Cookout, Injuring 12

Mass shootings are now just commonplace. Get used to it. Unless, you decide to do something about the number of guns in our society.

At least one gunman opened fire at a backyard cookout, wounding a dozen people, Baltimore police said Monday.

Police spokesman Donny Moses said none of the wounds were life-threatening in the shooting late Sunday night. At least twelve people were hit, including a 2-year-old girl and a pregnant 23-year-old woman.

Moses said the victims were wounded in the legs, arms, shoulders and backs.

Police had no immediate suspects or motive in the attack. Moses says a gunman or gunmen walked into the small backyard of a rowhouse in East Baltimore and opened fire with a semiautomatic weapon before fleeing on foot.

More big city shootings.
Four people were killed yesterday in as many shootings throughout Philadelphia.

According to police, the killings started at 2:15 a.m., when a 28-year-old male was shot in the 3100 block of North Front Street in North Philadelphia. Two minutes later, a 24-year-old man was shot in the 2600 block of Oakdale Street, also in North Philadelphia.
