Video shows chaos amid Baltimore's Federal Hill shooting

Video obtained by WJZ shows people running away as seven gunshots were fired early Sunday in Baltimore's Federal Hill, which left a woman injured. Police said a 39-year-old woman was shot multiple times shortly after midnight in the 1000 block of S. Charles Street. She was stable at the hospital. A person of interest is in custody, according to police. Tips can be reported to Southern District Shooting detectives at 410-396-2499 or anonymously through the Metro Crime Stoppers tipline: 866-7LockUp. Security video from a Federal Hill business shows people dispersing as gunfire is heard in the background. A nearby restaurant employee described the chaotic scene. "I was packing up stuff, and I heard some gunshot[s] and then when I looked up, people just ran," said the employee, who wanted to stay anonymous. The employee told WJZ he's seen violence like this before. "When something like that happened, it made me a little bit nervous and a little bit worried because I do work here late, and I leave it late too," the employee said. "Sometimes it's like shocking and a little scary. I've been here for about five years already, so I'm used to it. When I see a lot of people, it is just another working day." The employee said the business doesn't want repeated violence in the area, but it doesn't want crime to deter customers from visiting. "We enjoy having people come in here, but stuff like this may scare people away," the employee said. "Everybody, calm down and stay safe." As WJZ has reported, recent crime in the area has been the epicenter of concern for both residents and businesses in the neighborhood. Just down the street, a man was beaten with a broomstick and left with a severe injury to his eye in the fall of 2024. In September of 2024, a 24-year-old man was shot and killed near Mugshots Bar & Grill on E. Cross Street. Earlier this month, Baltimore police said more than 60 vehicles and several businesses were damaged by vandals. The break-ins happened in the unit block and 200 block of East Montgomery Street, the 600 block of South Charles Street, and the 600 block of Washington Boulevard near Camden Yards. Surveillance video from the Federal Hill Cleaners on Charles Street showed the front glass door being shattered on July 13.

President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round

President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round originally appeared on The Spun. Was the President of the United States caught "cheating" at golf over the weekend? President Trump, 79, is playing at his golf course in Scotland, Trump Turnberry, this weekend. The President of the United States played 18 holes on Saturday and another 18 holes on Sunday. However, was he caught cheating during the round? Legendary sports writer Rick Reilly says that President Trump is an avid cheater at golf. 'I've always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy,' Reilly said about Trump's golf game. 'And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat.' "And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a 'give me chip-in.' I've never even heard of a 'give me chip-in,'" he added. President Trump has won a lot of club championships over the years. But Reilly isn't buying it. 'What he does [is] he just calls in and goes, 'I usually beat that guy, give me the trophy,'' Reilly alleged. 'And I know this because when I play with him, he goes, 'You know what I do to win these championships, don't ya?' and I go, 'Please tell me. Give it to me.' And he goes, 'Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,'' Reilly continued. 'So that's what kind of guy this is.' This weekend, video has surfaced, showing President Trump's caddie dropping a ball in the rough, seeming to give him a better approach shot. What do you make of this? "Trump working hard to bring down grocery prices," one fan joked on social media. Was President Trump cheating during his round or just taking a drop from his caddie? Sound off below. President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.

Ft. Walton convicted murderer Edward Zakrzewski appeals execution

OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) — Convicted murderer Edward Zakrzewski is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of execution. Zakrzewski's lawyers are requesting a stay on the grounds that Florida is an 'Extreme outlier when it comes to capital punishment.' Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the death warrant on July 1st, setting the execution date for July 31st. Zakrzewski killed his wife, Sylvia, and his two children, Edward and Anna, at their home in Ft. Walton Beach on June 9th, 1994. He then drove to Orlando and hopped a flight to Hawaii, changed his name, and moved into a family-run religious commune. He surrendered to police after the family saw his picture on 'Unsolved Mysteries'. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
