Statement from Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin on Baltimore Shooting Incident

“Families and neighbors gathering together at block parties, beaches, and cookouts in celebration of this incredible nation’s independence should be able to do so without the threat of gun violence. Our hearts ache for those impacted by the mass shooting in Baltimore. We pray for the recovery of those injured and traumatized by what occurred. We grieve for those lost to this senseless act of violence and extend our sympathy to all those who loved them. And we support the first responders and medical professionals rendering aid and the many officers working to bring those responsible to justice.

Enough is enough. We need to do better. We must end gun violence in this country.”
