Baltimore police officers arrested three suspected Anne Arundel County gang members and recovered three guns after the suspects attempted to shoot a family in Brooklyn on Sunday night, a police spokesman said.
Officers responded to reports of gun fire near Baltic Avenue and 5th Street about 8 p.m. Sunday. They found a Ford Explorer that had been shot several times, as well as numerous shell casings, said police spokesman Officer Troy Harris.
Southern District officers found the three suspects exiting a Ford Crown Victoria on West Meadow Road, just over the Anne Arundel County line in Brooklyn Park. They also recovered marijuana, an assault rifle, a 25-caliber semi-automatic handgun and a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun from the car's trunk.
The three, all suspected Bloods members, are Perry Lee Jennings, 22, of the 7800 block of Levy Court, Pasadena; Albert Westmoreland, 18, of the 7800 block of Jaki Terrace, Glen Burnie; and Dominque Laring, 17, of the 7800 block of South Hampton Drive, Glen Burnie. They will have bail reviews Monday.
Police are still investigating motives for the shooting, Harris said.

Baltimore police arrested three alleged Bloods gang members Sunday night after responding to a shooting in Brooklyn. They said the gunmen targeted a family and opened fire but didn't hit anyone. This comes just two days after a notorious Bloods member who had bragged that his gang was a positive influence on city youth was sentenced to federal prison.
And this morning, police announced on their Facebook page that they've seized 550 guns from city streets so far this year. Guns and violent criminals top the department's to-do list.
Here's a statement from the Baltimore Police Department's spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi:
Last night SD Operations section took down 3 gang members and recoeved 3 guns (including an assault rifle) after an attempt on an area family.
At around 8pm on March 29th, BPD received a call for gun fire in the area of Baltic Ave and 5th Street. Upon arrival officers recovered numerous shell casings and discovered that a Ford Explorer was struck with several bullets. It was learned that the target of the shooting was intended for an area family.
Southern district crime suppression personnel immediately canvassed the Baltimore City & Anne Arundel County line (prior intelligence suggested that suspect(s) would proceed to this area and that they were driving in a Ford Crown Victoria.)
A vehicle matching this description was located in the on W. Meadows St. in Anne Arundel County by BPD crime suppression units. County police responded to the scene and three possible suspects were observed exiting out a maroon Crown Victoria, which was parked directly behind the suspect vehicle.
As a result of approaching these suspects, officers made a narcotics arrest and recovered three guns from the rear trunk of the maroon Crown Victoria.

2. 25 Cal Semi-Automatic handgun
3. 9MM Semi-Auto handgun
