Two people—an 11-year-old boy and a 26-year-old man—were struck by gunfire. Police confirmed to WMAR-2 News that both victims are expected to survive. Police added there is no belief the two victims are related to each other.

There is also a belief that the suspects were targeting the 26-year-old man in the shooting, but police did not disclose why they held that belief.

Commissioner Richard Worley and Mayor Brandon Scott both referred to the suspects as "cowards," adding that police will not rest until they are brought to justice.

"Eleven-year-old children playing on playgrounds should not have to duck bullets just because men can't resolve their own conflicts," Mayor Scott said. "The community should turn them in because we cannot allow people to be shooting at babies and just think it's going to be OK for them to go home and sleep at night. I hope they don't get a lick of sleep. I hope they're sick of themselves and turn themselves in."

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspects is asked to contact detectives at 410-396-2422.
