<div class="ScrippsWheelItemThumb WheelItem-wheelItems">Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said a man walked up to the intersection of Whitmore Ave where two cookouts were going on either side of the street and began shooting indiscriminately into the crowd of people.<br />
Police say one of the seven victims ran to the back of the nearby Perkins Square Baptist Church and collapsed. He was pronounced deceased at an area hospital.<br />
Police say they&#8217;re only looking for one suspect at this time, but there may have been a second shooter possibly returning fire at the suspect.<br />
Harrison said it&#8217;s going to take a community effort to track the shooter down.<br />
&#8220;What we need now is for the people to have the same resilience and the same tenacity to go after him like he came after the people here today,&#8221; said Harrison.</div>
