Baltimore woman struck up a conversation with 11-year-old boy on the playground, then she opened fire
A Baltimore woman walked onto a Cherry Hill playground Thursday, struck up a conversation with a boy she didn’t know, then opened fire on the boy and his mother, police say.
Nichole George, 31, of the 900 block of Seagull Ave., is charged with several counts of attempted first-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault and several handgun violations, according to police.
“George started talking with the 11-year-old boy and a short time later she allegedly pulled out a gun and shot both victims,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said. “Detectives are still working on the ‘why.’”
The gunshots rang out while dozens of other children played nearby.
“Right now, the motive is still unknown,” Harrison said Friday morning.
George is being held at Baltimore Central Booking. The charges were not yet listed in court records Friday morning.
Police said the attack took place just before 6 p.m. near Round Road and Seagull Avenue. The boy was shot in his hand and head. The woman, 34, was shot in the upper body. Both were taken to an area hospital for treatment.
George returned to the scene and was promptly arrested, police say.
