Baltimore Police believe a 45-year-old man was wounded in a shooting Thursday morning in Penn North, just a few blocks away from where officers and medics were tending to a mass overdose. Police said in a news release that they received a ShotSpotter alert on the 1300 block of West North Avenue at about 11:16 a.

Officials say the overdose numbers are expected to grow as more cases are investigated around the neighborhood, which is being treated as an active crime scene

Community leaders and local organizations are helping city agencies after more than 27 people overdosed in West Baltimore on Thursday.
