USA Today, by Julia Gomez: Six people, including a 5-year-old girl, were injured in a Baltimore shooting on Aug. 9.
Baltimore police said they responded to the scene of the shooting at 8:46 p.m. Shots rang out at Spaulding and Queensbury Avenues, an intersection in northwestern Baltimore, police said in a statement on X. They called the incident a mass shooting.
The 5-year-old victim was shot in her hand, and her injury does not seem serious, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said at a news conference. Another victim, a man police did not identify, remains in critical condition.
One woman and three other men were also shot, and their ages range from 23 to 52.
What happened?
A small group of people were gathered outside of a home in the residential area when the shooting began, according to Worley.
“It just looked like some people were sitting outside on the porch and, up against a vehicle, having some crabs,” he said. “And looked like somebody just opened fire.”
As of Aug. 10 at 8:30 a.m., police have not released additional information or a description of the suspect.
“We have very little information at this point,” Worley said. “All we know is there’s multiple rounds fired, multiple victims.”

“Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. Coming events cast their shadows before. The Spirit of God is withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows calamity by sea and by land. There are tempests, earthquakes, fires, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security? There is assurance in nothing that is human or earthly. Rapidly are men ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen. Restlessly are they waiting and watching the movements of their leaders. There are those who are waiting and watching and working for our Lord’s appearing. Another class are falling into line under the generalship of the first great apostate. Few believe with heart and soul that we have a hell to shun and a heaven to win.” Desire of Ages, 636.1
