Man killed, two others injured in triple shooting outside NE Baltimore apartment complex
BALTIMORE - A man was killed and two others were injured in a shooting outside of an apartment complex in Northeast Baltimore.
Officers responded to the Sinclair Gates Apartments on Bowley's Lane shortly before 6 p.m. where three males - ages 21, 18 and 19 were found with gunshot wounds.
The 21-year-old ran inside an apartment unit before he died, while the other two were taken to the hospital where they are stable.
"Totally unacceptable and now one is dead and two are injured because somebody decided that they wanted to solve conflict by firing a firearm and fortunately more individuals were not hit," Baltimore Police commissioner Michael Harrison said.
