Baltimore PD flatly deny anyone has been shot, despite many eyewitnesses, including members of the local and national news media.

The intersection of Penn and North Avenues was the epicenter of many of the Freddie Gray protests.

One last set of Baltimore protest-related tweets for the road: with the curfew gone, all seems quiet in Baltimore tonight.

— RAC (@rac2750) May 4, 2015

The mayor of Baltimore has lifted a city-wide curfew, almost a week after protests began. “My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary. I believe we have reached that point today,” mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced on Twitter.
