A Baltimore woman walked onto a Cherry Hill playground late Thursday afternoon, struck up a conversation with a boy she didn’t know, then opened fire on the boy and his mother, police say.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Shocking, even by Baltimore's standards.

[NativeSon]

Who are they gonna blame this on?

[FoxInSocks]

“Round up the usual suspects!”

[Army Air Corps]

Firearms.

[the OlLine Rebel]

This isn’t even just common thuggery. This is unbelievable!

Baltimordor strikes again!

I avoid it when possible.

Trump’s still breathing. It has to be his fault somehow.

[Califreak]

Not really.

I remember the mayor let rioters free range.

This kind of thing can be expected with that kind of city government.

If he ever set foot in Baltimore, then it is his fault...somehow.

The young lady with the gun looked as though she was high, drunk or in a manic state. She didn’t look fully present.
I too will say a prayer for that boy and his mother.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

Forget it, Jake. It’s Ballmer.

[reg45]

More excellence from the Baltimorons.

I think the test is if his name, voice, photo, or video shows up within the city limits. Him just contemplating going there is probably a lower level felony.

Alleged perpetrator.

[BeauBo]

Nichole George is in custody and charged with shooting the mother and her 11 year old son.

"The boy was listed in critical but stable condition and his mother was listed in stable condition Friday morning, police said."

[House Atreides]

Cherry Hill is not one of the better neighborhoods in Baltimore. There are some good people who live there and must put up with a lot from the riff-raff who also live there. Looking at the picture of the perp, the aura of mental illness is strong.

Prayers up for the child’s recovery.

[Rusty0604]

The suspect looks like a druggie.

Cherry Hill was known as a very rough neighborhood when I lived there 35 years ago.

This would have been unthinkable even back then.

I can only imagine it's gotten worse.
