A gunman fired indiscriminately into a crowd where people were gathered for cookouts on a street in Baltimore, wounding seven people including one of them fatally, the city's police commissioner said. Authorities said the shooting happened around 5 p.m. local time on a block in the city's western district. Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said a black male approached a crowd on foot and began firing in what he called "a very tragic, very cowardly shooting." Harrison said the shooting appeared to be "extremely targeted" but he did not immediately elaborate on a possible motive. One man who was shot collapsed behind a nearby church and was pronounced dead at the scene.
