Three of the gunshot victims—all males—were taken by ambulance to local hospitals while two others arrived at a hospital on their own accord, police said.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said one group was standing near the intersection and another group was close by. Conflict erupted between them.
"Guns were drawn," he said. "Shots were fired."
"Extreme violence, brazen violence, where people are shooting indiscriminately into crowds, could have hurt more people," he said.
