Yesterday afternoon, a 31-year-old man was added to the city's growing list of shooting victims after an incident in Baltimore's Southwestern District. At around 2:37 p.m., Western District patrol officers received a call that led them to a local hospital, where a man was being treated for a gunshot wound. This information, released by the Baltimore Police Department, stated that the victim, fortunately, is in stable condition despite the violent encounter.
The unidentified man told authorities that he found himself under fire on the 500 block of North Fulton Avenue. While trying to escape gunfire, one bullet struck him in the buttocks. The report lacks details, and the victim offered little context, likely due to shock.
