On April 28, a reported shooting took place near Perkins Square Baptist church in Baltimore, Maryland near the 2500 Block Edmondson. More news is forthcoming, however, there are reports of at least seven victims. At 6:13 p.m., Baltimore police confirmed that one of the wounded victims has died. It appears that shooting was not directly related to the church, but an isolated event that took place at two cookouts happening nearby.

Acting mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young arrived on the scene around 7 p.m. and announced that a shooter walked up to this intersection and began shooting “indiscriminately into the crowd” at a cookout happening on both sides of the street off Edmondson Ave. Baltimore police. They currently on the search for the one suspect. Authorities believe the shooter was targeting someone in the cookout crowd, and that someone in attendance knows the suspect.
