Story summary
On Saturday, in Leon Day Park in West Baltimore, Maryland, a 12-year-old girl was fatally shot during a youth football event when gunfire broke out over an apparent parking dispute between two adults. The shooting also injured three others, including the young girl's companion, a 25-year-old woman with non-life-threatening injuries. Police Commissioner Richard Worley stated that two men involved in the incident later sought treatment at local hospitals. No arrests had been made as of late Saturday night, and police were searching for at least two suspects. Mayor Brandon Scott condemned the shooting, calling the gunmen "cowards" responsible for a child's death during what should have been a safe community event.

Why this leaning score
The model judged this article politically coded and scored it -0.35, but 1 quote(s) could not be found in the article and the other 1 are attributed speech rather than the article's own narration, so the score is not published.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph
