Freddie Gray's Mother Tried To Commit Suicide, Say Police

There was an attempted suicide Wednesday by Gloria Darden, Freddie Gray's mother, who was rushed to the hospital, Baltimore police said.

Reportedly, some "self-inflicted injuries," were discovered, even though they were seen to be "non life-threatening." Fortunately, she is believed to be recovering, according to People.

Bill Murphy, Darden's lawyer, has explained the suicide:

"Because of an improper invasion of her privacy, Ms. Darden is being thrust into the national spotlight about an extraordinarily personal matter while she is still mourning the loss of her son. I saw her today and I can assure you that this kind of publicity is not at all helpful. We strongly urge the media to show restraint. The family asks that you continue to pray for her and for them," Murphy said, according to The Washington Post.

On Thursday evening, Darden underwent psychiatric evaluation.

Freddie Gray had had died in police custody last April due to a sudden, unexplained spinal injury, which sparked off a number of violent protests in Baltimore.

The Baltimore police had agree to give $6.4 million in damages. The six officers who may face upto 40 years in prison if found guilty are: Caesar Goodson, Garret Miller, Edward Nero, William Porter, Brian Rice and Alicia White, have all been charged of manslaughter and second degree "depraved-heart" murder, and they will face up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
