3 shot, 1 fatally in Baltimore police-related shooting
BALTIMORE (WMAR) - Two people were hurt and one killed in an overnight shooting said a Baltimore City Police spokesperson.
At about 10 Monday night in the 2700 block of Edmondson Avenue in West Baltimore two officers on foot patrol heard and saw shots coming from a car with several people inside.
People inside the car were firing in a direction away from the officers. The officers then "engaged" the suspects and shot three of them.
One of the people shot is now dead.
Police say that one of the suspects has a prior arrest, and that they are looking into possible gang activity.
Police also looking at area hospitals to see if anyone walked in who may have been shot by the suspects in the car. They haven't found anyone yet.

Words & Bullets
A soldier was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "We'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "He was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come and live with us."
His parents paused for few moments and said, “But who is going to look after that patient, cook for him, clean his clothes, etc. Do we need to get a dedicated aide to look after him? It would add to our limited budget!!”
A cold chill ran down the soldier’s spine hearing those words. After a moment’s silence accompanied with a tear he slowly said, “I can’t come back home Mom, ever….”
Moral of the story: Words and bullets should be carefully let out because you rarely get the chance to rectify it & the damage it causes is irrevocable.
