We have had several sniper attacks in the area over the past few days. They began Wed night, continued through the day Thursday, and there were more attacks Friday and Monday.

Brian, who just moved to this area, lives about two blocks from the school where this last shooting occurred. Welcome to Maryland, Brian, here is your body armor and trauma kit.
