An inaugural event to curb murders in one of Americaâ€™s most violent cities was interrupted by the killings of two men on Saturday, though organisers insist that the â€˜Baltimore ceasefireâ€™ has not ended.

Community leaders had called for a 72-hour ceasefire in the crime ravaged Maryland city, hoping to stem the tide of murder for three days from Friday to Sunday. However, police confirmed on Saturday that three men had been shot, two of which died from their injuries.

re: Might be more in final count

Meanwhile in Sweden, Together with the city of Malmö and the prison services, the police are now launching a new project to stop all shootings. In relation to the population, there are 4-5 times more fatal shootings in Sweden than in most other European countries. Researchers have difficulty finding comparable countries in Europe. Sweden is on par with southern Italy and Mexico according to criminologist Joakim Sturup.

But now the police in Malmö believe they have found a solution to the problem. “Stop shooting” is the name of their new campaign, which is collaboration between the police, Malmö City, the prison services and civil society.

2 is like a rounding error or a short putt in golf. Let's call it a gimme. Nice job everyone. Well done. Heck, those 2 won't be around next weekend to screw things up, so we are really looking good going forward. Again, well done.
