January 21

There have been (at least) 18 murders so far in 2006.

James Lydell RayThirty-four-year-old James Lydell Ray went on a shooting rampage, killing a 12-year-old girl and wounding his 15 and 16-year-old sons and his girlfriend. And he's on the loose, police are seeking a 2005 Black Elantra with the license plate 2BCP57. (Note to JZ, there is no Shirwood Avenue in Baltimore.)

Deaontae Fleming, 16, was arrested and charged as an adult for attempted murder (of whom it doesn't say).

There's nothing safe about the suburbs:
James Rivers Jr., 20, of Essex, was shot to death after confronting two suspicious men on his property.

A four-year-old boy was hit by a stray bullet in Columbia.

There are a lot of break-ins and robberies in the news from the Northwestern burbs, and a cluster of street robberies in Owings Mills.

Restraining orders and peace orders are becoming ever-more popular.

There is a sherwood ave but no shirwood...what else would you expect from WJZ, a station which regularly displays crap as breaking news.

Yeah, if you don't want the police to ignore you in this town,... get donuts.

Perhaps this blog ought to have a digital Daily Deathcount for the year, like the national debt counter.

the Sun website reports that the Sherwood Ave murder gives us 23 murders so far. So sad that someone shoots and kills a 12 year old girl. Very sad.
