A gunman opened fire in Baltimore Monday night, shooting five people at a vigil for another shooting victim, police said.Four women and a man ranging in age from 20 to 48 were shot at 6:35 p.m. in the 1800 block of West North Avenue while attending a vigil for 24-year-old Jermaine Scofield.Police said all of the victims suffered superficial wounds. The victims' injuries included gunshot wounds to the legs and ankles. One woman was grazed in the stomach. Some victims got themselves to a hospital while others were taken by ambulance.About 20-30 people were holding a vigil for Scofield, who was killed at 1:10 a.m. Sunday at the same location."Here you are, coming together to have prayer, then, all of a sudden, gunfire comes. It's not a pretty sight," said the Rev. Keith Bailey, president of the neighborhood association. "There were some bullets (that came) from everywhere, and we saw the people screaming. We don't know where they came from."Bailey knew Scofield and likely knows some of five people who were shot Monday."It's not an easy thing to see because just realize, some of those same kids that I see getting shot in this area, I'm pushing them down the aisle in the church or in the funeral home," Bailey said.Police said an officer had just left the vigil before the shooting.Police aren't sure if the gunman ran away or got away in a car, and they're not sure about a motive."We're still trying to locate witnesses, so this investigation is open, ongoing, and at the moment, still up in the air. We're hoping to get some information that will point us to who this shooter is," Baltimore police Detective Donny Moses said.Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call 410-396-2221 or call Metro Crime Stoppers at 866-7LOCKUP.WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Kai Reed contributed to this reportRefresh wbaltv.com and our app, and watch 11 News for updates.Get the WBAL-TV News App
