Baltimore shooting: 2 killed, 28 injured at weekend block party ahead of July 4th

Two people were killed and 28 others were injured in a mass shooting in Baltimore, Md., early Sunday morning, at the scene of a holiday weekend block party, according to police.

An 18-year-old woman and 20-year-old man were killed and three victims were still in critical condition, according to police in Baltimore, a city about 40 miles (64 km) north of Washington, D.C.

"This investigation is ongoing, and we will not rest until the people responsible are held accountable," Mayor Brandon Scott and the police department said in a joint statement, noting that the suspect or suspects were still at large.

The tragedy rattled the city at the start of the Fourth of July holiday weekend, when Americans typically gather for parades, barbecues and fireworks. The shooting occurred shortly after midnight at the "Brooklyn Day" block party in the Brooklyn Homes neighbourhood of Baltimore, which hundreds of people attended, local media reported.

Another weekend but media and the left won't call a spade a spade.

I look forward to see the 5th grade photos of the shooters after they get arrested.

This sort of thing happens far too often *since the start of the Wuhan outbreak.*

Two die and 28 are hurt because the second renders effective regulation of killing machines into a sacred taboo! Silence the second: 1.5 sentences of wizened, twee, and self-evidently dangerous twaddle left by dead ancestors to visit not freedom, but chaos, terror, trauma, death, and misery upon, and paranoia among, their living descendants.

I challenge anyone who disagrees with me about the sentiments I offer above to show how it is, using evidence and logical argument, that the second is not the sole cause of America's outstanding performance among the democracies of this world in the rate of firearm deaths.

You can show nothing?

Silence the second!

2 Esdras 15:14-27
"Woe to the world and them that dwell therein! For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords (weapons) in their hands. For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.

A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able. For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid. A man shall have no pity upon his neighbor, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.

Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them. Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom.

Thus saith the Lord God; My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth. The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that is kindled.

Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments! saith the Lord. I will not spare them: go your way, ye children, from the power, defile not my sanctuary. For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.

*For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him.*
