[Baltimore Sun] Woman killed, teen girl injured in separate shootings over weekend, Baltimore Police say
A woman was killed and a teen girl was injured in separate shooting incidents over the weekend in Baltimore.
A 16-year-old girl was shot on Saturday evening following an attempted carjacking near Pimlico Race Course and Sinai Hospital, according to a news release from the Baltimore Police Department.
The girl told police she’d been parked with two other people in the 5100 block of Levindale Road when a person in a black ski mask approached her, holding a handgun. That person demanded the occupants get out of the car, but the girl reversed the car and drove away as the person fired, according to the release.
The girl received non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, and medics transported her to an area hospital for treatment, the news release says.
Officers responded at about 7:20 p.m. to the 800 block of West Lombard Street, where they were informed about the attempted carjacking and shooting, police said.
On Sunday, a woman was found unresponsive in the 800 block of North Avenue in the Midtown-Edmondson neighborhood. When police arrived, they found the woman suffering from a fatal gunshot wound, according to another release from Baltimore Police.
Officers responded at around 10:01 a.m. to a call about an unresponsive woman in a rear alley around West Lanvale Street, police said. Homicide detectives are investigating, and anyone with information is asked to call 410-396-2100 or 1-866-7LOCKUP to remain anonymous.
