In an update Sunday afternoon, officials said 9 victims still remain in the hospital, with some in critical condition.

(NEWS CONFERENCE UPDATE FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON):

Worley said the police department received multiple calls about a shooting in the 800 block of Gretna Court about 12:30 a.m. When officers arrived, they found 10 victims who had been shot. One victim, an 18-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police learned 20 additional victims had walked into to local and regional hospitals from this shooting scene, said Worley.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said that the city is grieving for the lives that have been lost and the people who were injured. Scott called the shooting "reckless" and "cowardly."

I want those who are responsible to hear me and hear me very clearly. We will not stop until we find you, and we will find you. Until then, I hope with every single breath that you take that you think about the lives that you took and you think about the lives that you impacted here tonight.
This is about people who cowardly decided to come to a celebration and shoot it up. Let's call this what it is. Let's not make this into some political dog whistle. The reality is that I can stand here today and tell you that homicides in Baltimore are down 20 percent - but who cares today - because 30 people were shot and 2 are dead.

(PREVIOUS NEWS CONFERENCE FROM SUNDAY MORNING):

Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby attended the press briefing with Mayor Scott and Acting Commissioner Worley. Mosby expressed his sentiments on the violent incident.

"What we understand and know is that this indiscriminate, callous, reckless behavior by a few causes tremendous amounts of trauma to hundreds and particularly our vulnerable adults in this community; Our children, they deserve better," said Mosby.

Hundreds of people were gathered in the area for an event called "Brooklyn Day," according to a witness.

Stefanie Mavronis, Interim Executive Director of the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement said the agency was working with local partners to address neighborhood and community concerns in the days that will follow the mass shooting.

"[MONSE] has set up a coordinated neighborhood stabilization response in this community. We will be having a presence focused on healing resources, coordinating city agency and community-based partner presence here," said Mavronis.

According to Mavronis, the coordinated neighborhood stabilization response is MONSE's plan to remain in the Brooklyn community for a period of 45 days. "We are going to have a sustained presence here," said Mavronis.

Baltimore City State Attorney Ivan Bates said in a statement:

On behalf of the Office of the State's Attorney for Baltimore City (BCSAO), we are profoundly saddened and outraged by the tragic events that unfolded earlier today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families affected by this senseless violence. But we need more than thoughts and prayers; we need policy and change in Maryland, particularly Baltimore. A policy that helps us hold repeat violent offenders accountable and reduces the number of illegal firearms in our communities.

A mass shooting occurred in our city, resulting in the injury of 30 individuals and the loss of at least two innocent lives. This shocking incident could have happened to any of us celebrating in our communities this holiday weekend. The immense pain and grief felt throughout our city today is palpable. My office and I stand with those impacted by this tragedy and offer our support in any way we can.

Our homicide prosecutors have been in close contact with BPD Detectives and are providing support and assistance as needed. Additionally, our Victim/Witness coordinators and Community Engagement Team are canvassing the community to ensure residents are aware of available resources and how to access them.

We must unite as a city and support one another in such times. I encourage anyone affected by this tragedy to reach out for assistance, whether it is emotional support, counseling, or any other form of help they may require. My office will collaborate with local organizations and coordinate resources to provide the necessary support, including relocation support. I call upon the public to provide authorities with any information about this tragic event. If you have information about this shooting, contact BPD Homicide Detectives. Those who wish to remain anonymous can use the Metro Crime Stoppers tip line at 1 (866) 7LOCKUP.

Ryan Coleman, President of the Randallstown NAACP said in a statement:

I want to send our prayers and thoughts to all of the families touched in this unacceptable mass shooting. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the trauma inflicted on all Baltimoreans, especially people of color. Martin Luther King said, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.’ This violence affects all Marylanders and we must find solutions to end the bloodshed. It takes remarkable fortitude to remain an optimist about Baltimore today. Baltimore’s ills — it's blight, suburban flight, segregation, drugs, racial inequality, concentrated poverty and inability to find solutions to basic problems. Explaining all this to people outside Baltimore is difficult, not only because the experience is alien to others — as they are not experiencing this level of violence or the response to this violence.. Baltimore has more murders, shootings and carjackings than New York City. New York has a population of over 8 million people. Baltimore has a population of under 580,000 people. How can you explain this how can this be! They have poverty, they have structured racism, they have illegal guns. We must find the reasons and make Baltimore and the region safer! The Randallstown NAACP offers these solutions:1/ Focus on clearing the 40,000 warrants with expanding the WATF. To create another task force run by the State Police. To have a third warrant task force specifically focused on Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, Howard County and Harford County staffed by the state police and these jurisdictions.2/ Make it a felony for illegal possession of a gun.3/ Find solutions to violent repeat offenders.4/ Begin gun courts to quickly and efficiently move these cases through the justice systems.5/ Create a gun violence suppression task force that is heavily supervised, works under the Constitution of the United States and de-emphasizes low level arrests.6/ For the Department of Parole and Probation to ensure individuals do not become repeat offenders. Lastly, and most importantly, we all must work together everyday to interrupt and stop the killing of Black Americans.

A witness told FOX45 News that they heard 20 to 30 shots fired. "They just kept going off."

Some of the victims were taken to Harbor Hospital.

The sprawling crime scene covered multiple blocks and was littered with debris.

Scott urged people who knew anything about the shooting to come forward. "Treat this as if it were your family and how you would want people to treat it if you were mourning, if this was your neighborhood, if was an event in your community that this happened at. We want you to treat it that way because that's how we have to treat each other as Baltimoreans," said Scott.

"We will not stop until we find those cowards who decided to just shoot dozens of people, causing two people to lose their lives and we're going to be here until we find them," said Scott.

Scott said every single Baltimore City agency would be in Brooklyn offering assistance.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene and assumed control over the investigation. As of Sunday afternoon, Worley said investigators and federal partners were still on-scene searching for evidence.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Homicide detectives at 410-396-2100. Those who wish to remain anonymous may utilize the Metro Crime Stoppers tip line, at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
