Baltimore Weekend Cease-Fire Marred by 2 Killings

Baltimore has seen more murders than New York City this year

Two fatal shootings on Saturday put an end to a weekend cease-fire in Baltimore, NBC News reported.

Police said a 24-year-old man and a 37-year-old man were shot and killed in separate incidents. Activists called for a 72-hour cease-fire โ€” a call the city's police department and mayor embraced.

Police spokesman T.J. Smith said that the killings should not take away from the goals of organizers.

"The work doesnโ€™t stop," he said.
