Story summary

On October 4, in Leon Day Park in Baltimore, a shooting broke out during a youth football league homecoming event, resulting in the death of a 12-year-old girl and injuries to three others. The incident began when two men argued over a parking spot and opened fire on each other; the girl was hit by stray bullets. Police Commissioner Richard Worley described the shooters as "cowards" at a Saturday night press conference, while Mayor Brandon Scott expressed disgust at the situation and condemned it emotionally. Two suspects are being sought for the shooting but no arrests were made as of late that evening.

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.
