Baltimore man, Gerald Gaffney, has been arrested and charged with shooting a 90-year-old woman who had called him out for littering.

Officers found a 56 year-old male suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg and a 90-year-old woman suffering from a graze wound to foot. It is believed the woman was hit with ricochet.
