The mayor of Baltimore is urging criminals to "put down the guns" following a street-corner shooting that wounded seven people as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News reported. The Tuesday shooting brought the city's number of non-fatal shootings to 111 for the year so far. The city has been plagued by gun violence for decades, with homicides surpassing 300 for each of the past five years. Mayor Bernard C. βJackβ Young told reporters the city will do everything to fight crime during the pandemic. The victims from Tuesday's incident were standing on a street corner when a man opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle. A police officer who saw the shooting fired at the suspected gunman as he was fleeing. The victims -- a 37-year-old woman, a 17-year-old boy, three 20-year-old men, and two other men ages 23 and 24 -- are listed in stable condition.
