Baltimore authorities are offering a $15,000 reward after a 1-year-old infant and a 2-year-old toddler were injured when a street corner was sprayed with bullets.
“Those babies were shot, and the community should be appalled,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said, according to WJZ-TV. “This is shocking to the conscience and we need everybody right now to help us hold the person or persons accountable.”
The infant was shot in the leg and the toddler was shot in the torso in the shooting at the intersection of two streets in South Baltimore around 8 p.m. Friday night. They were in stable condition.
