Welcome to your Baltimore news update. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest from our city.

Word on the streets of Baltimore is that tragedy struck again this weekend. On Saturday afternoon, four people were injured in a shooting in North Baltimore. Police responded to calls about gunfire in the 400 block of Venable Avenue around 2:30 PM. Three men, aged 18, 25, and 60, were found at the scene with gunshot wounds and taken to a nearby hospital. A 57-year-old woman later walked into a hospital with gunshot injuries believed to be from the same incident. All victims are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they investigate this latest act of violence in our community.

In more positive news, the newly renovated Jewish Museum of Maryland is ready to welcome visitors after an extensive makeover. Museum director Sol Davis calls it "a once-in-a-generation kind of capital investment in Jewish culture in Baltimore City." The renovations place a strong emphasis on community participation and engagement, aiming to make the museum a vibrant hub for cultural exchange. This revitalization showcases Baltimore's commitment to preserving and celebrating our diverse heritage.

Shifting gears to a local success story, let's talk about Ramona Riley-Bozier. This Morgan State University alumna has made waves as both an athlete and coach. Riley-Bozier was part of the record-breaking 4x100-meter relay team in 1986, a record that still stands today. She later became the head volleyball coach at Morgan State and has since transitioned to a role focused on student wellness. Her journey from star athlete to mentor exemplifies the positive impact sports can have beyond the field.

Looking ahead to the week, we're in for some beautiful spring weather. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-60s, perfect for outdoor activities. Don't forget about the St. Patrick's Day Parade coming up this Sunday. The festivities kick off at 2 PM, starting at the Washington Monument and winding through downtown.

As we reflect on these stories, it's clear that Baltimore continues to grapple with complex issues while also celebrating its rich cultural tapestry. From concerns over gun violence to efforts to preserve and share our diverse heritage, our city remains a dynamic and evolving community.
