Fewer teens have been shot in Baltimore during the first half of this year than in any in the last decade, a Banner analysis of police data has found. The number of high school-aged teens shot in Baltimore has fallen by more than two-thirds compared to last year’s 10-year-high watermark. The Banner has been tracking youth gun violence since teenagers began being shot at exceedingly higher rates in 2022. This downward trend follows an overall decrease in homicides in Baltimore.

On a clear afternoon in early January 2011, the Geeta, a 600-foot-long ship, set sail out of Baltimore. With little wind and the tide running out, the Liberian-flagged coal ship chugged under the Francis Scott Key Bridge, out of the Patapsco River and into the Chesapeake Bay. It made it 12 miles before disaster struck. The Geeta lost power, which caused its engine to cut out. Its pilot, a licensed Marylander capable of navigating the muddy estuary, ordered the anchor dropped.
