Another bar shooting

Breaking news from this morning: Three men were shot early Thursday inside a bar in the Gardenville neighborhood of Northeast Baltimore, according to city police.

An officer on patrol heard the gunshots about 12:30 a.m. from Club Uzo (check out the club's Youtube video) in the 4800 block of Belair Road. He and other officers went inside and found a 20-year-old man who had been shot once in the leg. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital in serious condition.


Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said officers found a second victim on Belair Road, just outside the bar's front entrance, also suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The 30-year-old was also taken to Hopkins in serious condition. The third victim, 23, managed to get out of the bar on his own and was taken by a friend to Hopkins. Police said he had been shot twice in the legs and was in critical condition.

Detectives have no suspects.

"All we know is that it was some type of altercation," Guglielmi said. "It's unclear whether these victims were targets of the gunman or were innocent bystanders."

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.



Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
