California labor unrest - Flying car progress - Baltimore gun violence

1. Summary
   Two people were killed and 28 were wounded at a party in Baltimore over the weekend. South Baltimore's Brooklyn neighborhood was celebrating an annual public festival when gunfire erupted at around 12:35 am. The incident is likely the biggest mass shooting in Baltimore's history, and comes as the city continues to struggle with high homicide rates.
   
   Three of the 28 injured are in critical condition. Three quarters of the victims are teenagers and over half are female. Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said at least two shooters were involved, and that it remains unclear whether the shooting was targeted or indiscriminate. Some neighborhood residents interviewed by the Baltimore Sun expressed concern the incident would lead to local revenge shootings.
   
   Two residents told the Baltimore Sun that local police were not present at the event, unlike in past years, and a local police union leader suggested the police patrol at the time of the shooting was short-staffed. In a news conference on Monday, Worley denied police staffing was an issue.
