A 12-year-old girl was killed in Baltimore over the weekend during an apparent disagreement over a parking space, police in the US city said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

The girl was caught in the crossfire of bullets between two men who police said were allegedly fighting over a parking space in a park where children were playing American football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In addition to the young girl, a woman was also found with gunshot wounds when police arrived on the scene. Two men also visited area hospitals for injuries believed to be related to the shooting, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Police are now searching for at least two suspects, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said at a news conference. No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“What we know is there was some type of argument between two cowards,” Worley said. “They both opened fire on each other. In the crossfire, a 12-year-old little girl, who was probably down there watching football, was shot and killed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Worley said the girl, who police have not named, was not a target of the shooting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The girl was pronounced dead in hospital. The other three individuals who were injured have non-life-threatening injuries, Worley said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The incident happened after 18:00 EDT (23:00 BST) on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Authorities are still investigating the shooting and have asked any witnesses to bring information to police. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It remains unclear how many shots were fired, Worley said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“Two grown men got into an argument, and now a 12-year-old is gone,” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said at the news conference. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

“We never should have to say something like that. What happened out here today is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
