Baltimore Mayor Proposes Youth Curfew Following Inner Harbor Shooting

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is implementing a citywide curfew for minors this summer after two teenagers were injured in a fight near the Inner Harbor. The curfew for anyone 14 years old and younger will be 9 p.m., and for anyone younger than 17 will be 10 p.m. The mayor also plans to offer summer camps and programs for children, but has not yet announced them. The move comes after a rise in violence involving teens, with five children under 18 fatally shot and another 23 injured by gunfire since the start of 2023.
