6 injured after gunmen exit vehicle, open fire in South Baltimore

Six young men were injured after at least two gunmen got out of a vehicle and opened fire Sunday evening in South Baltimore, according to Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley.

A large police presence responded around 9:45 p.m. to the 2600 block of Hollins Ferry Road, where two people had been shot. Moments later, another gunshot victim was found running to a nearby firehouse.

Then, three more gunshot victims arrived at a hospital.

Police said the victims were between the ages of 17 and 21.

Worley said one victim suffered "very serious" injuries and was in surgery. All six are expected to survive.

Police said the six victims were hanging out when a vehicle pulled up, two people got out, and started shooting.

"All we know is they pulled up to the corner, got out, and just opened fire randomly at the victims," Worley said. "Looks like just as there was a group of young men standing outside hanging out under a tree on Harmon Ave., a vehicle looks like it pulls up. Two suspects exit the vehicle, fire multiple rounds at our victims, striking all six of them. And then the suspects get back in the car and flee."

Police closed multiple streets in the area.

No suspect descriptions have been released. Police have not yet said if the shooting was random or targeted.

Anyone with information is asked to call Baltimore police or the Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.

According to crime data, there have been 175 non-fatal shootings so far in Baltimore this year, which is the same total as this time last year.
