Marge.

What i heard through the radio during the incident was the shooting victim had multiple gunshot wounds aswell. Possible suspects were 2 black males wearing black clothing and a witness said they got into a blue sedan. unknown make or model.

I grew up in berkshire for 24 yrs n they was the best times of my life .i lived right around the corner from where this had happen on jaydee ave .ant to ride down the front street of my old home is such a great feeling i can picture when i was a lil girl ant all i can do is cry cause i miss that worm safe careing feeling i had back then .look i know that people places things change but to take such a happy safe place n turn it into such a ugly scary place is so sad .maybe we the people who hold our memeries shoul get a grip n give our kids n grand kids what our parents n friends gave to us something to look back on other then the ugly we see day after day on the news .people think about it we all want our kids to remember a safe warm loveing place to live n charish just like us the true berkshire kids who still live in us all . I never want to forget..

I think the Berkshire Community Association folded. No one showed up at the meetings and I know the president did his best to involve the community.

A further destabilization of the Dundalk community. I have been saying this for years. You replace the middle class with a lower class and this is the result. Under the current political leadership I see no change.

Buzz,

Your last paragraph is "SO TRUE"

What we need is to replace the high level of renters with home ownership. We have such a beautiful community, tree lined streets, beautiful parks and accessible waterways. We really are a gateway in Baltimore County. Why our corrupt elected officials can't see that..is beyond me..We deserve better...

BTW...I hope that the victims are alright. I am sure more details will emerge.

This hits way too close to home for me. I recently moved out of that area, a street adjacent to Aldworth. I shared an alley with aldworth. This is precisely why I own a gun to protect my home.

I believe we can trace this back to 3 words...."Move To Opportunity" So we escape to Harford County and the same thing happens here.

Buzz is 100 percent right,ever since MTO was enforced because of the Lawsuit by the ACLU our Neighborhoods have continued to decline,hell,we can't even get our streets repaved and the Police can't even do their Jobs because of Political flashback.

I would be interested to see who conducted theses studies and what political agenda they have (if any)

Steve, so your saying that the mass exodus from the city when the projects where torn down had nothing to do with crime, drug sales, gangs in the county areas today.

I beg to differ..MTO AND all of the closures of the projects in Essex such as Tall Trees, Riverdale and the other porjects located on Back River neck road and Parts of O'Donnell Heights had a HUGE impact on our crime,drugs, gangs,section 8. Where do you think they placed these families? It sure wasn't in Towson, White Marsh, Pikesville. I should know I worked for the county and remember quite well what was said and where some of these families were placed..And I wasn't even in the agency that handled the placements. WHY was it fair to saturate our area? I know this story is about 2 people who were hurt in a home invasion but it leads to bigger questions as to why is our community going so wrong. I have been here all of my life and can tell you about life before MTO and after MTO...It is very different. I feel very qualified to say that it has an impact.

They had nothing to do with MTO. Those places didn't even qualify for the MTO program because of the income constraints placed on the participants and the neighborhoods which were available.
This is just a myth that certain Eastside politicians manipulated in order to get themselves elected.
You are not qualified to analyze the situation. Everything you bring up is merely anecdotal evidence at best.

YES I know that the ESSEX properties mentioned were not part of the MTO..I merely stated that along with MTO our community started declining even more. Yes as a resident of Dundalk..I would say that I am qualified to say that MTO surely started the ball rolling..

Our community is going so wrong because the problems we face are being addressed by the same people who helped to create them. Baltimore County officials lack the vision and drive needed to save Dundalk. Many residents are tired of being part of the experiment known as the DRC.

One more question for Steve, describe the suspects that are getting - "old white people all riled up."?

what is wrong with you people???? MY FLESH & BLOOD IS LAYING IN THE HOSPITAL N YOU KOOKS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE SHITYY TWISTED GOVERNMENT???WHAT ABOUT "I WISH THE BEST FOR THEIR FAMILY" OR "i PRAY FOR THEM IN THE HOSPITAL" WHAT THE FU*/ IS WRONG ... ITS PPL LK U NOT THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont understand what happened to the passion in our neighborhoods. Everybody is out for self.. These people talking about the government & blaming them is crazzy.. Why not wish the family the best or say a prayer for the victims??
I just dont get it..hows it go from the "Home Invasion stabbing/shooting to a government debate?? It's people like you that make our neighborhoods unsafe bc all your worried about is money not safety!!!!!!!!!! How is the victum that got shot??? anyone know?? probly not bc nobody even asked!!

I apologize to the family. This is not the forum to discuss our failed policies of Dundalk. I hope the best and a full recovery for the man and woman attacked. I hope their attackers are caught.

Shell9 I agree our concern must be with the victims., but I also feel that these types of tragic events bring to the forefront that calls the communities attention to these matters.

This tragedy was not a natural event or accident, but a crime. Jessica's Law is a classic example how these types of events can spur the community into action. John Walsh is another example of a victim who dedicated his life to combating the plague of crime that creates victims such as those involved in this tragedy.

I'm sure the victims of this crime feel outraged and would want people speaking about solutions to this cancer of crime.

Sympathy is appropriate, but so is action on behalf of the victims. Otherwise, who speaks for them?

Buzz is an ass. Please go away.

First comment I see. Must be a nice family. Parenting skills seem a little lacking.
