Four people were injured in a shooting at a North Baltimore restaurant Saturday afternoon, police said.

The shooting occurred at the 400 block of Venable Avenue just before 2:30 p.m.

The four victims were three men, ages 18, 25, and 60, and a 57-year-old woman who walked into an area hospital seeking treatment.

“She said there were probably like 50 shots, and she sustained five of those bullets,” a friend of the woman who was randomly shot said.

“It’s her birthday weekend. She went to get these absolutely wonderful seafood eggrolls that everybody’s talking about here on Greenmount,” the friend said.
