Guns in our Schools
Baltimore, MD
While shootings in schools are rare, the opportunity for it is not.
ABC2 News compiled a decade’s worth of data from the state of Maryland on out-of-school suspensions.
From the 2001/2002 school year through 2010/2011, 117 students were suspended for firearms throughout our area , which includes all seven school districts -- an average of about 15 per year.
"We would like to see zeros for every single year in all of our jurisdictions, but we don't," said Dr. Daniel Webster.
Webster is the director of the Center for Gun Policy and Research at Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Firearm suspensions happen more often than many parents know.
Webster says to get that number to zero is not going to happen overnight.
He recently released a study called The Case for Gun Policy Reforms in America which, in part, calls for gun restriction to high risk groups, specifically those under 21-years-old.

Baltimore-Area School Buses Rack Up Hundreds of Speed Camera Tickets
Baltimore, MD
Safe Havens, International
Automated speed cameras, installed around area schools three years ago with the goal of punishing dangerous drivers and making the streets safer for children, have caught hundreds of school buses speeding near the schools they serve, often with children aboard, a Baltimore Sun analysis has found.
Privately owned buses have received at least 800 automated speed citations in Baltimore City, while city-owned buses have accumulated more than 50, records show. And Baltimore County public school buses have triggered speed cameras more than 100 times over the past two years.

If You See Something; Say Something
Law Enforcement Today
In Maryland, swift action by the police circumvented the intentions of a man planning an Active Shooter Incident (ASI). Neil Prescott, a subcontractor for the Pitney Bowes Corporation, was arrested without incident wearing a t-shirt which read, “Guns don’t kill people. I do.” Prescott, of Crofton, Maryland, who was fired from the Pitney Bowes mailroom, had made threatening phone calls to the business referring to himself as “the Joker.”
Media reports suggest that the incident in Maryland is a possible copycat incident of the Aurora tragedy which occurred just over one week ago. An educated look at available information suggests otherwise.
