A 12-year-old girl is killed and three other people are wounded after a shooting near a youth football event at a Baltimore park, according to police reports cited by multiple outlets. Police say the incident occurs while a youth football game is being played at Leon Day Park.
The accounts describe a violent exchange connected to a dispute involving adults near the event. Some outlets characterize it as gunfire that occurs in “crossfire” or during an argument, while Fox News and other reports describe an alleged dispute that turns into gunfire between two men. Daily Mail notes crowds gathered for what it calls a youth football game, including a team homecoming. In all accounts, police say they are seeking at least two suspects and investigations are ongoing.
While details of the immediate trigger vary in emphasis—argument versus parking dispute versus crossfire—sources broadly agree on the timing and location: Leon Day Park in Baltimore during a youth football game, with a fatality involving a 12-year-old and three other injured individuals.
