"Baltimore City Council Holds Hearing on Delayed Police Response to Mass Shooting"

The Baltimore City Council's Public Safety Committee has announced that it will hold an oversight hearing on July 13 to examine the responses of the police and other agencies to a mass shooting that occurred during an annual block party in South Baltimore. Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley admitted that the police were "too late" in addressing the need for more resources in the area before the shooting took place. Community members and leaders have criticized the police department's lack of presence at the event, and there are calls for accountability for the breakdown in security and safety protocols. The police are still searching for suspects, and a reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.
