Baltimore police employees face punishment over 2023 mass shooting response

Report decries eight officers and four civilian employees for ignoring warnings resulting in fatal shooting

Two Baltimore police department employees could lose their jobs and another 10 could face lesser disciplinary actions for their responses to a July 2023 mass shooting at a neighborhood block party.

Two people died and 28 others were injured when gunshots tore through a large crowd in the courtyard of south Baltimore's Brooklyn Homes public housing complex as the annual Brooklyn Day summertime celebration continued after nightfall. Most of the victims were teenagers and young adults.
