BALTIMORE (AP) — A holiday weekend block party in Baltimore ended tragically after multiple people opened fire, killing two and wounding 30 others, many of them under 18. The circumstances leading up to the shooting early Sunday remained under investigation after police spent hours combing a massive crime scene in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city. Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley says there were a total of 30 victims, with more than a dozen believed to be minors. No arrests had been made by late Sunday. Worley says it wasn’t clear if the shooting was targeted or random.
