BALTIMORE — Three people were injured in a shooting on Thursday afternoon in the 3100 block of McElderry Street.

Police say victims include a 9,20, and 28-year-old.

The 20-year-old was critically injured and is currently in surgery.

The 9 and 28-year-old sustained non-life threatening injuries.

"You hear gun shots around here all the time, so I’m used to it. You kind of get desensitized, so this is Baltimore City what can you say,” said Andre, who lives a few houses down from where the shooting happened.

Andre says after hearing these shots, he pleads for change to stop the shootings. Especially with the younger crowd.

"We can go to the moon anytime we want, we got a space station there, we're getting ready to go walk on the moon again but we can't take these guns out of these kids hands? Something has got to be done,” Andre said.

Southeast District detectives are now in control of the investigation.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Southeast District detectives at 410-396-2422.
