Men stabbed, shot in Baltimore

A man was shot in the stomach and another man was repeatedly stabbed in the upper body in separate, unrelated attacks Friday night and early Saturday in East and Northeast Baltimore, according to city police.
The shooting occurred at about 11:30 p.m. near East Monument and North Curley streets in East Baltimore. Police said the victim, described only as a male in his 20s, was taken in a private car to a nearby hospital emergency room.

Police said the stabbing occurred about 2:40 a.m. in the 1300 block of Crofton Road in Northeast Baltimore. It’s a residential neighborhood just north of East Cold Spring Lane, between The Alameda and Loch Raven Boulevard.

A statement from Baltimore police said the adult male victim had been attacked during an altercation, but provided no other details. Police said the man was wounded in the upper body and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

Police said detectives have not made arrests in either incident. The conditions of the victims were not available Saturday morning, but police said the injuries to both men did not appear to be life threatening.

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.
