Baltimore Mayor Begs Residents To Stop Shooting Each Other So Hospital Beds Can Be Used For Coronavirus Patients

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence. Seven people were shot Tuesday night in the Madison Park neighborhood, as Baltimore reported its fifth positive coronavirus case Wednesday.

“I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Young said. “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.”

“For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it,” Young implored. “We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.”

He urged people to put down their guns because “we cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration.”

Commissioner Michael Harrison said the city has seen an uptick in violent crimes since Friday, including a mass shooting Tuesday night — where seven people were shot. Five people were transported to area hospitals via medics and two took private cars to the hospitals for treatment. All seven are in serious but stable condition.

Harrison said they are looking for a Silver Honda that was seen in the area.

A city officer who was on patrol in that microzone did engage with a person who’s believed to be a suspect in the shooting as the man was fleeing the scene.

The officer was not armed with the level of “deadly firepower” that the suspect had. The officer did fire his weapon, but Harrison said police don’t know if the officer struck the suspect.

The officer sustained some minor injuries in the incident and was treated.

The police department is increasing staffing in the areas where crime has increased.

“This incident remains open and under investigation,” Harrison said.

Let them die in the streets.

[Dan Dlabay]

Simple don't give the thugs a bed. Let them take care of themselves. Of course the left wing dems will complain.

[boracayjohnny]

Of course the thugs will obey the law. How else do you think they have guns.

[Bill]

Baltimore should just offer their criminals free ammo and range time. Dead thugs don't need a hospital bed.

The city will tear itself apart sooner or later. Decades of liberal Democrats running the place has proven just how disastrous their agenda is for America.

That has been the typical thinking these past couple decades from the leadership of that city, and it's only going to get worse. Raised, lived, and worked there most of my life..........so glad I'm gone.

One of my room mates back in kolledge daze at Univ of Faryland, off US1 just north of DC, College Park, behind Frat Row, in the old trailer park was Mel, 4 of us clowns shared an end of one of the large trailers there, this back in the early/mid 60's......his name was Mel Roppelt, got involved in owning a trucking company.....his family moved from Bawltimore city to Towson region because the city was in rapid decline back then even.....I met him in '62-64, and they had just moved....having had a few family instances of being victims....

So that is old by about 1/2 a century now.....
