- Baltimore Mayor Jack Young has asked residents to stop shooting each other so there will be more open hospital beds for coronavirus patients.
- The mayor made the plea on Wednesday after seven people were shot a day earlier in the city's Madison Park section. "For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it," Young said. "We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you."
- Young went on to say, "We cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives."
