5 People Injured in North Baltimore Shooting

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Five people were shot outside a North Baltimore home during a Memorial Day cookout Monday, Baltimore police said.

Baltimore police spokesman Detective Donny Moses said the victims of the shooting included a 30-year-old man who police suspect was the intended target. He was shot multiple times.

All of the victims were transported to area hospitals, and police said none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.

Two other men, ages 25 and 20, were shot in the arm. A 59-year-old man was shot in the buttocks and his 60-year-old wife was shot in the face, police said, the Baltimore Sun reported. 

Police cordoned off the block as detectives carried out their investigation. Later Monday, one of the victims was arrested at the scene carrying a handgun, police confirmed.

"We are in the very beginning stages of our investigation," Moses said.

The number of gunmen was unclear, and police did not discuss a motive. Moses said witnesses gave varying descriptions of the shooter's vehicle.
