Baltimore Police Report 14 Shot In City Since Sunday Night
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Police in Baltimore report that 14 people have been shot in the city since Sunday night.
Police announced Tuesday that that four people were shot in a two-hour span overnight. That comes after a string of eight shootings around the city starting Sunday night, including two double shootings about a half hour apart on Monday evening. Earlier Sunday, two men were killed in separate incidents.
Police reported that at least two victims were in grave condition, but others did not appear to have life-threatening injuries.
It's not clear whether any of the cases are related.
Violence has increased in Baltimore since the death of Freddie Gray sparked unrest, with a 46 percent increase in homicides and an 87 percent increase in shootings compared to the same time last year.
