‘It shouldn’t take a mass shooting’: Baltimore’s Brooklyn community thanks officials but pleads for more resources

Alfreda Stewart’s youngest daughter was grazed by a bullet during the Brooklyn Homes mass shooting July 2. Her daughter’s friend was shot in her shoulder and thigh. She learned the news in a “horrific” phone call from her oldest daughter, she told the mayor, acting police commissioner and a host of city officials at a Thursday night community meeting.
