Silver Spring Reacts To Discovery Channel Gunman, Hostage Situation

Sheila Stewart — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:57:48 +0000

(Silver Spring, MD) – Workers and residents in Silver Spring are still in shock by Wednesday’s hostage situation at Discovery Channel headquarters. The incident forced the evacuation of the building and a shutdown of area roadways and those watching the scene unfold are thankful and relieved that no one was injured in the building or on the street. Police shot and killed gunman James Lee after he pointed a gun at one of the three men he had taken hostage in the lobby. In addition to bringing a gun, police say Lee strapped explosives to his body and also carried in boxes and backpacks. Montgomery County police say several explosives were set off late last night in a controlled detonation. Lee had a history of conflict with the cable channel because he didn’t believe it was airing enough planet friendly programming.

Montgomery County Police Urge Back-To School Safety

Sheila Stewart — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:08:24 +0000

(Montgomery County, MD) – Thousands of Montgomery County kids will be heading back-to-school on Monday and police are urging the community to do its part to help keep students safe. Drivers should watch for young pedestrians and remember that vehicles are required by law to stop at least 20-feet from school buses that are stopped with flashing red lights or they will face a fine and points on their license. Police spokeswoman Lucille Baur says above all, drivers should watch their speeds behind the wheel. Automated speed enforcement cameras are being used at 25 new locations across the county and many of the locations serve schools. In addition, police remind parents to talk to their kids about keeping themselves safe before and after school. Children should only cross the street in marked crosswalks; look both ways before crossing and follow the directions of school crossing guards. Kids should never talk to strangers and they should have a list of emergency phone numbers and know when it’s appropriate to call 911.

Strong Opposition To The “Restoring Honor Rally” Tomorrow

Sheila Stewart — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:55:06 +0000

Tens of thousands are expected to gather at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC this weekend for conservative talk show host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor Rally” but some question the timing and location of the event. Some in the Washington area don’t believe that it’s appropriate for Beck to speak on Saturday’s anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech on the very site where the civil rights leader spoke in 1963. Doug Kralowetz tells ABC-7 that Beck’s “attitude and his hatred of other people who don’t agree with him is so obvious and blatant that there’s no place for that in this spot right here.” Tanya Phillips says she does not understand the timing of the event. She believes that everything is deliberate and she wants to see more unity for America. Beck’s event features headline speaker Sarah Palin and is billed as a non-political rally to honor military veterans and fallen heroes and pay tribute to individuals who embody the nation’s founding principles of integrity, truth and honor. A counter demonstration and rally will also be held Saturday, led by the Reverend Al Sharpton along Independence Avenue, south of the Lincoln Memorial.
