Georgia, Baltimore Shootings Kill Three

What happened

A 12-year-old girl was killed and three adults were injured at Leon Day Park in Baltimore during a youth football event. In a separate shooting in Vienna, Georgia, two men were killed and about 35 people were injured at a homecoming-weekend block party. Police said two men in Baltimore began shooting after an apparent parking-space argument, and the girl was caught in the crossfire. Dooly County High School’s superintendent said the Georgia party was not school-sponsored. More than 1,000 people were at the Georgia gathering, where authorities said at least 50 shots were fired at two locations. Baltimore police are seeking suspects, with no arrests reported. Georgia investigators had not disclosed a suspect or motive.
