Three students were injured in a shooting near Baltimore's Carver Vocational-Technical High School on Friday morning. The shooting occurred outside the school at Presstman and North Bentalou streets around 7:50 a.m. Police arrived at the scene within minutes and began treating the wounded and searching for the shooter. Two 15-year-olds and one 16-year-old were injured in the incident and were taken to a hospital for treatment. Baltimore City Schools confirmed that two of the victims were students at the school, while the third victim walked into a hospital on their own. The injuries are not life-threatening.

The shooting has added to the growing concern over youth violence in Baltimore, particularly incidents involving students being shot on or near school campuses. Despite an overall decline in gun violence in the city, youth violence has remained a persistent issue. In response to the shooting, Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby stated that no student should feel unsafe going to school and that the incident highlights the fears that many residents in the city live with every day.

The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. The school was put on lockdown following the incident and dismissed students early. Baltimore City Schools are working closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety and well-being of its students.
