Two men were killed by gunfire, and a woman was hospitalized with injuries after a shooting Sunday night at The Hub Sports Bar & Grill in Frankford Plaza in Northeast Baltimore, police said.
Also this weekend, one person was killed and 15 injured during a spate of weekend violence that began Friday night in Baltimore, according to police.
At approximately 7:55 p.m. Sunday, officers were in the Frankford Plaza parking lot when shots rang out at the other side of the strip mall, said Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison.
The officer went around the parking lot corner, toward the bar, where they found three victims — two men, aged 21 and 26, and a woman — suffering from gunshot wounds. Aid was rendered on the scene, police said.
One of the men was pronounced dead inside the business, and the other victims were transported to hospitals, police said.
The hospitalized male victim was initially listed in critical condition, but he later died, police said Monday morning. The woman was listed in good condition Monday morning, according to police.
“Officers were right there, on the side of the building, when this happened, which once again speaks to the brazenness, speaks to the cowardice and speaks to the total disrespect for authority and for human life,” Harrison said.
Harrison and Mayor Brandon Scott were on the scene Sunday night, and the medical examiner was inside the bar.
Scott, echoing himself from recent weeks, expressed exasperation at the violence in the city, saying the people shooting one another lack maturity and conflict resolution skills.
“This is about grown men acting like little boys,” Scott said.
Behind the commissioner and mayor, suit-wearing homicide detectives focused on a scene spanning from inside the business, the parking lot and out to the street. Numerous evidence placards, typically used to mark bullet casings, were seen throughout.
