Overview
- Officers responded to reports of gunfire at Hip Hop Fish and Chicken in the Coldspring Shopping Center in Northeast Baltimore and medics transported victims to hospitals.
- Initial counts vary in on-scene reporting with as many as three people said to have been shot and four people taken to hospitals; the condition of the fourth person was not immediately known.
- Baltimore Police and fire crews issued a mass casualty alert to coordinate searches and medical response while they methodically checked the shopping center and surrounding area for other injured people.
- Investigators closed East Cold Spring Lane in both directions and restricted a lane on Loch Raven Boulevard to secure the scene and support the ongoing probe.
- This remains a developing situation with official casualty figures, victim conditions and any suspect information pending confirmation from the Baltimore Police Department and local hospitals.
