Safe Streets director killed in Baltimore shooting

A man killed in a shooting Sunday is being remembered for his dedication to fighting gun violence in Baltimore. Described as a man who saved lives as the director of Safe Streets in Baltimore City, Dante Barksdale spent nearly a decade fighting against gun violence until, police said, that same violence claimed his life. City police said officers were called around 11:17 a.m. to the 200 block of Douglas Court, where Barksdale was shot in the head. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he died, police said.
