Shooting at Baltimore Playground Leaves Child Injured

A chilling shooting erupted in Baltimore’s Upton neighborhood just after 7:40 PM, leaving a 26-year-old man and an 11-year-old boy wounded in a playground—both now in stable condition. Police say two shooters in a vehicle opened fire, targeting the adult but hitting the child, with one gunman wielding a rifle. Commissioner Worley condemned the attackers as “cowards” for firing into a crowded area with kids nearby, praising that only one child was hurt. The boy, who suffered an abdominal wound, faces multiple surgeries. Authorities are hunting for surveillance footage and the vehicle’s description, urging witnesses to come forward. Residents are shaken, though some say such violence is sadly routine. The mayor’s office vows to support the community and bring justice.
