Baltimore police were investigating at least two homicides among four total shootings reported Thursday morning across the city, officials said.
Police spokesman Jeremy Silbert said two people were shot at about 9:50 a.m. in Brooklyn, in the 4200 block of 10th St., including an unidentified man who was struck several times and died on the scene. A woman was also hit in the leg and taken to a local hospital. The shooting was near the Brooklyn Homes project and not far from an elementary school.
"There were several people outside, but the only description we have was that two males were seen running east from the location," Silbert said.
