July 8

You have your stabbing weeks and your shooting weeks, but last week was more like a blunt-force trauma week in the city.

And so much for the city's "safe zone:" police recovered 17 shell casings from a murder scene in front of a church near Pulaski and Walbrook in broad daylight.

A Iranian, Abbas Tavakolian, got 57 months in prison followed by two years of supervised release after pleading guilty in the federal court in Baltimore to charges he attempted to export aircraft parts and components for F-4 and F-14 fighter aircraft, and that he laundered money.

There's evidence but no motive in the Espinoza case, say prosecutors.

Ex- employee Bruce Alvin Miller of Mt. Airy went postal in the BGE office in Hanover, then killed himself.

There were two shooting deaths in PG County. Shia Yu Hwang and Paul Hill are the 84th and 85th murders in PG County this year.

And in Frederick, 18-year-old Terry Bruchey is charged with shooting a four-year-old with a BB gun.
