Two Injured in Early Morning Baltimore Fells Point Shooting

In Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood early Friday morning, a physical altercation escalated into a shooting that injured a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman, both with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The victims were shot near the 1600 block of Thames Street and sought treatment at a local hospital, with police investigating the incident and requesting information from the public. The shooting occurred shortly before 3:22 a.m., and reports included multiple gunshots and evidence of ricochets affecting nearby property. Despite this incident, Baltimore has experienced a significant decline in crime, including a 23.6% drop in homicides compared to the previous year and a notable reduction in violent crime rates since 2020. Increased police presence during the summer aims to continue addressing crime, especially in neighborhoods like Fells Point, Federal Hill, and the Inner Harbor. Authorities encourage anyone with information about the shooting to contact Central District detectives or Metro Crime Stoppers.
