Story summary

A 12-year-old girl was killed and three adults were injured when gunfire erupted over a parking dispute at Leon Day Park in Baltimore on Saturday evening. The shooting occurred during a youth football league homecoming event around 6:15 p.m., where the victims were caught in crossfire between two men arguing over a parking spot. Police Commissioner Richard Worley said the girl, who was likely watching the game, was an unintended victim. Two suspects are being sought; one cartridge of each type found at the scene indicates that two firearms may have been used. Mayor Brandon Scott condemned the incident as "disgusting," likening the gunmen to cowards for involving a child in their dispute.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
