A 15-year-old boy who was shot near Dunbar Middle School Monday afternoon is in critical condition, according to Baltimore Police.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said police responded to the 400 block of North Caroline Street for a ShotSpotter alert around 3:20 p.m.

When officers arrived, they found the 15-year-old victim had been shot multiple times.

Worley said the teenager was in critical condition and “fighting for his life.”

“We ask anyone who saw, heard or had footage of anything to call 911 or 1-866-7LOCKUP,” Worley said.

Dunbar Middle School and the National Academy Foundation, located near the shooting, will be closed Tuesday. Counseling services will be provided in schools.
