Five people were shot in Greenbelt, Maryland, during a high school senior skip day party at a park, police said in a Friday evening press conference. The shooting happened at Hanover Parkway in Prince George's County. Hundreds of students were gathered for the party before shots rang out around 2:30 p.m., Greenbelt Police Chief Rick Bowers said. 'My heart breaks for them. These are just kids trying to have a good time,' Bowers said of the victims, who ranged in age from 16 to 18.
'This is a horrible, tragic, senseless act that happened today,' he added. 'There is no reason that this occurred. These were seniors or senior skip day.'
