Both fireworks shows at US National Whitewater Center canceled, center says: Monday, June 3
Mecklenburg County has revoked the fireworks permit for the U.S. National Whitewater Center's July Fourth celebration. The center also separately announced the fireworks show on July 3 will also not be happening. WCNC Charlotte received the following statement from Mecklenburg County when we first asked about the permit for the July 4 show being pulled: "Mecklenburg County has communicated to the Whitewater Center the fireworks permit for 7/4 has been rescinded and the permit for 7/3 is approved." The Whitewater Center's website previously advertised fireworks happening at 9:30 p.m. on Monday, July 3. However, it has since been updated to reflect the new cancellations. The Center's official Facebook page also confirmed the new details.

Three of the wounded were in critical condition and more than a dozen were under 18. The shooting took place just after 12:30 a.m. when at least two people opened fire at a block party in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city, said Richard Worley, Baltimore's acting police commissioner. No arrests had been made by late afternoon. It wasn't clear if the shooting was targeted or random, Worley said.
