BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A Baltimore man faces murder charges after shooting three people in two separate incidents.

The first happened in the 2100-block of W. North Avenue.

Police say Ricky Horton fatally shot a man in the head and torso and then fled the scene in a getaway car.

A friend of the victim also suffered gunshot wounds. He survived.

Investigators say Horton then shot a woman six blocks away on Presbury Street, declaring “if you’re not blood, you die.”

Horton, who also goes by the name “Purple,” faces a maximum of two life terms plus 88 years if convicted.

“Blood” as in Bloods vs Crips?

Well, uh, er...since a picture of the perp isn't displayed or the race stated, what ever shall we assume?

How are things in Baltimore?

Baltimore has become the most depraved, racist city in America. It is a city ruled by blacks, where petty theft, serious crime, and addiction to heroin and crack cocaine are far more prevalent per capita than in any other American city. Baltimore, once “Charm City,” is now a cesspool where whites cannot walk the streets at night... They are beaten to death at times, but they are generally just mugged and kicked to the ground. Baltimore is a land of drug dealers, abortionists, and AIDS-afflicted “unwed mothers.”

And that, my friends, is how things really are in Baltimore.

The whole article just can’t be true. Baltimore has very strict gun control laws, and everyone (liberal) knows that criminals will follow gun control laws even when they will rob, assault, and murder people.

“Baltimore is a land of drug dealers, abortionists, and AIDS-afflicted “unwed mothers.”

Newark NJ was all those things decades ago; if they lost the title it was only because the guilty parties have been displaced by Hispanics who are slowly bringing economic vitality back to the areas they are taking over. They (like every group) have their bad apples, but to me the distinction is whether or not an area has a rush hour (besides school buses). Also, if there are businesses besides liquor stores and bodegas; Hispanics have plenty of machine shops, mechanics, etc.

Why bother. Just shoot the vermin and be done with it. Waste of time and money.

Looks like a story problem. I hate math tests with story problems.

Great reporting. We get a double homicide article consisting of six sentences. I suppose that means we get to fill in the blanks ourselves?

Frankly most of them aren't hard to fill in. I'm surprised they managed to pad the story out to six sentences. It must be a slow news day in Baltihorror.

Breaks my heart how Baltimore has devolved to this state.

Was rewatching a season of The Wire last night and Carcetti the mayor says if we could get crime under control we could bring jobs back to the city. Fiction I know but I seem to remember T. Rowe Price threatening to leave their downtown location last summer because so many employees are getting mugged in the area when out for lunch or after work.

And people getting robbed when leaving Little Italy and Fells Point. I don't even like to drive through downtown anymore.

Add to that about 50K abandoned homes and the accompanying lost taxes and I don't see how the city survives.

I believe Tracey Halverson was simply a few days premature with her blog, Baltimore City, You’re Breaking My Heart.
