"They racked up 12 robbery victims and a shooting victim -- a nonfatal shooting victim -- in less than four hours from start to finish, not just in one district," Baltimore City Police Commissioner Fred Bealefeld said.

But it was the fatal shooting of a 72-year-old customer during a holdup at Yau Brothers in April 2010, followed two days later by another deadly shooting at a gas station parking lot four blocks up Greenmount, that prompted increased patrols and promises of help from the mayor and Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III.

This Halloween there was another killing at Yau Brothers. The victim, a 52-year-old retired city bus driver who drove an airport shuttle, was a bystander caught in a robbery while waiting for dinner.

Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be here a while. I hope to be out before 2014 though.

In the meantime, I will continue to "fight the good fight", much to the chagrin of the various MD "gun rights" orgs... ;)
