A mass shooting in Greenbelt, Maryland has left five people wounded during a high school skip day that turned violent, Prince George’s County authorities said.
Gunfire broke out at Hanover Parkway at around 2:30 p.m. Friday while hundreds of students gathered for a party at the park.
“My heart breaks for them. These are just kids trying to have a good time,” Greenbelt Police Chief Rick Bowers said.
At least one of the victims, aged from 16 to 18, was listed in critical condition.
“This is a horrible, tragic, senseless act that happened today. There is no reason that this occurred. These were seniors or senior skip day.”
“If a group of high school students can not get together and have a good time, what is the world coming to?”
No arrests were made in connection with the shooting.
