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.”

Baltimore Mayor Begs Residents To Stop Shooting Each Other So Hospital Beds Can Be Used For Coronavirus Patients
How foolish does one have to be to even ask this????
What’s the old saying: You reap what you have sown?
Once the EBTs stop, Hizzoner ain’t seen nuthin yet.
when hank williams’ wife wanted a divorce because he shot at her, he said fair enough, i don’t want to stay married to a woman i have to shoot at...
some people deserve shooting. no asking is gonna stop that.
Feral youth gangs use up healthcare resources??? I’m shocked, just shocked.
What sort of moral compass do the youth gangs have, that they can’t stop shootings during a health emergency? Where is their sense of obligation to the larger community?
Its funny like hell. How do you wanna die? This is Baltimore.
Maybe he ought to ask very nicely for the police to step in and pinky swear not to prosecute them for murder again if anything bad happens. Otherwise I figure they’ll continue practicing the “social distancing” they’ve been doing since the Freddie Grey situation played out.
Those thoughtless idiots!! What were they thinking shooting each other in a pandemic!
Some people’s kids!!!
Savages
Just make it illegal to shoot another person... oh wait.
I now quickly scan the by-line to make sure it’s not the Babylon Bee again.
I can only shake my head.
Like I said earlier. Watch. Baltimore will be the first city to melt down.
Or what?
That explains the lack of UFO sightings lately. Even visitors from other galaxies say, “Stay away from Earth. Those beings are nuts.”
Hizzoner: “...hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence”
Well, what about the sensible violence victims? Do they get a bed or not?
The solution is simple — front door triage. Gunshot wound? Go bleed out over there in the parking lot.
Not only will you stand for it, Baltimore democRats have encouraged it.
I hope they are shooting each in crowds of 10 or less?
And at least 6 feet away?
Oh, and they wipe the surface area of the crime scene before they leave?
Chicago will get there first.
