Teens shooting teens: How do we break the cycle in Baltimore?

February 12, 2024

But what we haven’t heard as much about is the violent crime young people experience, and how the two are connected. Last year, 44 people under the age of 20 — most of them teenagers; at least one a toddler — were killed in the city; 151 more were shot and, thankfully, survived. It was the most dangerous year for young people here in at least a dozen years.
