Some blame Popeyes, others blame City Schools after 5 students shot Wednesday


During a press conference at the crime scene Wednesday, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott expressed frustration over the troubled Edmondson Village Shopping Center.

“This Popeyes has been cited before for selling to minors and students during the daytime,” said Scott. “This is something that shouldn’t happen because those young people wouldn’t be here if they knew they couldn’t buy something from this place.”

While some blame the fast food restaurant for allegedly serving students during the school day, others in the community disagree.

“Those children come from the school over to the shopping center,” said one woman at Edmondson Village Shopping Center on Thursday. “They’re not even inside of Popeyes. They're sitting on the wall of Popeyes. Popeyes can’t control that.”

This woman said she wants to see Baltimore City Schools do more to enforce rules requiring students to remain on campus.

While students will dismiss at noon, the district said it will be full day for staff who will also be provided counseling.
