 * Delete - Probably going to be kept because enough editors fall for sensationalism over recent events or may employ the "wait and see" tactic but when we access this incident on certainties, it is clear this falls under WP:NOTNEWS. Almost none of the criteria for events can be appropriately accessed because this article was created far too soon, leaving me with the assumption that it fails until further analysis -- the kind that demonstrates long-term impact -- can be found. A small point as well, the shooting occurred in Maryland but the gunman also attacked a location in Delaware so the article title is not entirely correct.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:00, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * delete A textbook case of WP:NOTNEWS. Mangoe (talk) 12:58, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Well, it certainly didn't feel routine if you were anywhere near Baltimore, with the emergency alarms ringing on everybody's cell and a confusion of reports flying. Perhaps article creator edits form somewhere nearby.  Nevertheless, the Baltimore Sun seems certain that it was that mundane horror: a volatile man with a gun who turned it on the people he worked with.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:21, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - if someone wanted to add a sentence in Crime in Baltimore, maybe. Neutralitytalk 18:48, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: per WP:NOTNEWS. The article is just a sentence describing a crime.  Does the article convey that the crime had a lasting impact and deserves its own article per WP:NCRIME?  No.    Dr Strauss   talk   11:41, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
