The death toll from gun violence continues to rise in Baltimore City. A quadruple shooting on Thursday night on East 29th Street claimed the life of a woman.Earlier this week, a quadruple shooting took the life of a 16-year-old Milton Carrington in the 2500 block of East Monument Street. "Just seem like they allow these people to do what they want to do, you know? I don't know what it's going to take, but this block needs to be indicted," east Baltimore resident who identifies himself as "D," said. There is cellphone video that captured what the shooting scene looks like before an ambulance arrived."It's just crazy. Everything that's been happening in Baltimore City, like, I'm trying to get off the streets myself. It is very dangerous. It is not safe," resident Tabitha Locklear said. "You don't hear no fussing, no arguing for real. All you hear is this 'boom, boom, boom, boom, boom boom, boom.' Then 'I'm shot, I'm shot, I'm shot," a resident who wished to remain anonymous said.That's how neighbors describe a quadruple shooting Aug. 30 on East 29th Street. The shooting took place inside a home. A woman dead from multiple gunshot wounds was identified as Karen Lovings, 51. Two other shooting victims were also found at the location. Another woman who lives there was shot and walked to the hospital.Residents believe the stabbing of a woman on the front porch around 11:40 p.m. Aug. 29 prompted the shooting. Neighbors describe their community as safe."Since I've lived around here, it's been really peaceful. We have block parties and things like that. The community really sticks together," resident, Antranette Coxon-Irvin said.As the number of shootings and murders increase, controversy brews over the right way to fight crime. Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police is upset with police Commissioner Michael Harrison's crime plan and said the union will come up with its own in 30 days. Baltimore City Council President Brandon Scott volunteers to be a peacemaker. "I am going to offer my office space for the commissioner and FOP to come into my office so we can try to work out any issues they are having," Scott said.Union officials declined to discuss what they have in mind. They pledge to have plenty to say when they release their crime plan.Anyone with information is urged to contact Baltimore Police Department Homicide detectives, at 410-396-2100.
