East Baltimore shooting; Towson crime
Another shooting in East Baltimore to report from Monday night:
An officer responded to a 9 p.m. report of a shooting in the 2600 block of Grogan Ave., in the Berea neighborhood, police said. The 20-year0old victim was found lying in an alley behind the even side of the 2600 block with a gunshot wound in his torso, according to police. The man was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:31 p.m.
That's many blocks north of where two police officers were shot early Sunday in McElderry Park.
In other news, this time from the suburbs:
Towson University police were searching for two men who robbed students at gunpoint in their dorm room Monday afternoon. According to a campus crime alert, police said two students were in their dorm room in Glen Tower B, a co-ed residence hall, about 3:30 p.m. when they responded to a knock at the door and two men forced their way inside. During the incident, one of the men suffered a minor injury in the forehead when he was struck with a metal crow bar.

Hey Peter,
Do you have any idea of what was going on at Latrobe Park last night (around midnight)? There was a police helicopter circling with its spot light on for at least 20 minutes.

TU story: One of the men was injured. One of which men? The robbers or the victims? Do they ever provide descriptions these days or is that politically incorrect beyond the safety concerns of potential future victims?
Hm. sorry if it wasn't clear that the victims was struck, not the suspect. But we included detailed descriptions of the suspects. Click the link Peter put up. -Justin
