Not the Onion - Baltimore Mayor begs residents to stop killing each other because of coronavirus

The mayor of Baltimore is begging residents to stop shooting one another to allow doctors and nurses to focus on saving coronavirus patients and not gunshot wound victims. 
In a statement on Wednesday, the Mayor Jack Young said: 'I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently. 
'We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime
'For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it. 
'We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you. 
'We cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. 
'And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration,' he said.
