(Baltimore, MD) -- The chairman of the Baltimore City Council's public safety committee is reacting to the release of the after-action report on the Brooklyn Homes mass shooting.
Mark Conway says the reports captures "a heartbreaking series of missed opportunities in the lead-up" to the Brooklyn Day celebration.
”The reports released today capture a heartbreaking series of failures and missed opportunities in the lead-up to the Brooklyn Day event on July 1 and 2 that ended with the shooting that killed Aaliyah Gonzalez and Kylis Fagbemi and injured 28 others.”
Conway says the findings underscore his conviction that Baltimore police and the Housing Authority should have known more about the event before it occurred, and should have acted sooner before it "spiraled out of control."
”Their findings underscore my conviction that the BPD and HABC should have known more about this event before it occurred, and should have acted sooner before it spiraled out of control. I have a number of questions after reviewing the reports and look forward to asking them at the council’s next oversight hearing on September 13 at 1 PM.”
He says it is "beyond disappointing" to see that police were aware of the growing crowds but took minimal action.
He added the fact that housing officials were unaware of an hours-long event on their property suggests "gaps in communication that must be addressed going forward."
