The corner serves as a school bus stop, where students were waiting on the bus and witnessed the shooting, city schools spokesperson Sherry Christian said.
City schools were closed to students Friday for professional development, but counseling will be available for Achievement Academy students next week, Christian said.
Ennis is the sixth Baltimore City Public Schools student to be shot and killed this year. At least three times as many have been shot and injured.
