Eleven days after gunfire ripped through a block party at South Baltimore’s Brooklyn Homes public housing complex, questions about how the event escaped the notice of police and the housing authority remain unanswered. Hundreds of people went to Brooklyn Day, an annual party held almost every summer for the past three decades, and a series of shootings just after midnight July 2, left two dead and 28 others with injuries.
Why didn’t Baltimore Police, other agencies know about Brooklyn Day? City Council hopes to find out.
