“This kind of disregard for the lives of people in our neighborhoods must stop,” Annapolis Police Chief Edward Jackson previously said. “We need help from those in the community to help us identify criminals carrying and using guns.
“We are with city agencies and community partners to find and arrest those committing these deadly and reckless crimes.”
No information about a possible about a possible suspect shooter or motive has been released by the police.

“Community safety and crime prevention is not achieved through one person or organization alone - it is up to all of us.”
