THE SUSPECT

a woman walked onto a playground late Thursday afternoon, struck up a conversation with a boy she didn’t know, then opened fire on the boy and his mother, police say.

Nichole George, 31, is charged with several counts of attempted first-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault and handgun violations, according to police.

“George started talking with the 11-year-old boy and a short time later she allegedly pulled out a gun and shot both victims,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said. “Detectives are still working on the ‘why.’”

The gunshots rang out while dozens of other children played nearby.

“Right now, the motive is still unknown,” Harrison said.
