Baltimore County police officer shot in Overlea

[Spot72]

Police said the officer came upon a group of people blocking Dale Avenue at Danville Road shortly after 3:15 a.m. Police said they received a call for a fight outside from where a party was going on. About 10 minutes later, they received a call for the shooting.

"He opened his window and asked them to move so he could pass. At that point, a subject came out of the crowd with a handgun and fired several times into the vehicle," county police Cpl. John Wachter said.

They interviewed witnesses but declined to release a description of the suspect.
The cops know who did it and will have him soon.
Stupid violent thug got made because someone asked him to move his car.

Shooter could be a Move to opportunity yute

[demopublican]

Just north of Hamilton, east of parkville and West of Whitemarsh. Just think Bel Air Rd at the Beltway.

A youth living in Section 8

Interesting, I've came across citizens who had children living in section 8 in
Garrett, Cecil, Queen Anne's and Wicomico counties and they never used that term.

Just north of Hamilton, east of parkville and West of Whitemarsh. Just think Bel Air Rd at the Beltway.

Driving on Kenwood Avenue toward BelAir Road, go about 3/4 mile past Overlea High School. Turn left onto Dale Avenue and Danville intersects at maybe two hundred feet on your right.

The neighborhood is middle and lower-middle class single homes.

The neighborhood has declined.

I assume that part of the term comes from te MTO initiative.

My instinct would tell me that section 8 is associated with higher crime rate in every county in the state

funny how no description of the shooter is being given. we all know what that likely means. the area, at least 10ish years ago, is white. i strongly suspect we will all find out that it was a black guy. why? some will say it's because i'm racist. i say it's because it's pretty typical behaviour from a certain group of 'people'. we'll just have to wait to see if it pans out to prove that stereotypes exist for a reason.....i'm betting that it will.

[Jeebus]

This thread is racist, how dare anyone point out crime in the suburbs.

Time to begin finding more "interesting" inner city crimes again I guess, my point has not been made yet.

I live in this neighborhood, a few streets over from Dale ave. I also know the house where this took place. The criminals that live there are a nusance to the community and are constantly the root of problems. The neighborhood in general is a good neighborhood. 98% are good hard working people. No there is not a lot of section 8 housing although there may be a few rental homes that are section 8 that I don't know about. Just about everyone owns their houses on my street and do not rent.

[RavnFreek]

Google map, street view 709 dale ave, baltimore maryland. It will give you a good idea as to what we are dealing with.

I would have to disagree. Do you have any facts that can state that the perps in the offense were on section 8?

That's not what he is saying. And he is likely correct. He did not attribute section 8 to this particular crime just that you can relate section 8 housing and high crime rate areas of Baltimore County. Hell that probably goes for any area of the Country. Where you have low income public housing you probably have have a high crime rate as well. That's a no brainer.

HOWEVER.. the neighborhood in which this took place does not have a high population of section 8 houses. THere are some on Kenwood in the duplex houses but not much if at all with the single family homes.

I disagree with section 8 being a direct correlation with crime. As if there was no crime before public housing.

Not to get off subject here, but are you claiming that section 8 housing areas are not high crime rate areas as well? Of course crime existed before section 8, that isnt the claim. The claim is section 8 housing areas typically have a high crime rate. Are you denying that?

I would like demopublican to explain his statement further. That is your interpretation of his comment.
