A shooting occurred at Leon Day Park in Baltimore around 6:15 pm on Saturday, resulting in the death of a 12-year-old girl who was caught in crossfire between two men arguing over a parking space. The girl and an adult woman were struck by gunfire; both survived initially but only the girl later died at the hospital. Two men involved in the shooting suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police Commissioner Richard Worley and Mayor Brandon Scott condemned the violence, emphasizing that adults' disputes should not endanger children.

Story summary
On Saturday night at approximately 6:15 PM, a 12-year-old girl was killed and three adults were injured in a shooting incident at Leon Day Park in West Baltimore. The tragedy occurred near a youth football event organized by the Charm City Buccaneers league. According to police, two men got into an argument over a parking spot and started firing shots at each other, hitting the girl and another woman as they were caught in the crossfire. The injured included a 25-year-old woman and two men aged 23 and 28, all of whom are expected to survive their injuries. Police Commissioner Richard Worley called the shooters "cowards" and emphasized that the dispute was over something trivial like parking, resulting in a young life being lost. Authorities are now searching for at least two suspects involved in this incident.
