The violence in Baltimore occurred the same week federal prosecutors there touted efforts to reduce violent crime in the city.

BALTIMORE — Authorities searched Monday for the suspects who opened fire during a holiday weekend block party in Baltimore that killed two people, wounded 28 others and prompted one resident to jump into action when she found a wounded teenage girl on her doorstep.

“They were having fun in the beginning, but you know kids ... they started drinking and they was getting all out of order,” she said.Bowie said she called the police and told her 15-year-old granddaughter to come inside. They heard gunshots a little while later, and a bullet struck her air conditioner, breaking off a piece of it and hitting her granddaughter in the back. The girl was unhurt, and they both laid on the floor, Bowie said.

The circumstances leading up to the shooting early Sunday remained under investigation after police spent hours combing a massive crime scene in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city. Police have reported nearly 130 homicides and close to 300 shootings so far this year, though that’s down from the same time last year.
