Baltimore Police are investigating four shootings that happened within eight hours between Friday evening and Saturday morning.
The first shooting was just after 5:00 p.m. at Broadway and E. Eager Street. Officers saw a man discharge his gun and chased after him, but were unable to arrest him. They did discover a loaded .45 caliber handgun that the suspect had used.
Shortly after, officers responded to a shooting at the same location. A man was shot in the leg and was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The woman was taken to the hospital and is in good condition.
The next shooting happened only 15 minutes later on the 100 block of Highland Avenue. Officers found a 44-year-old man who was shot in his right thigh. He was taken to the hospital where officials say he is in serious condition.
