• 9 injured in Baltimore shootings over the weekend (wbaltv.com) — Baltimore residents saw a violent weekend, with nine people — including a 17-year-old — wounded in separate shootings across neighborhoods from Fairhaven Avenue to East Oliver Street. Most injuries are described as non-life-threatening, but police are still piecing together where some attacks occurred. Anyone with information can contact city detectives or Metro Crime Stoppers to help move these cases forward.
   

• Baltimore Lawsuits, NYC Probe Add Pressure on Prediction Markets (bonus.com) — Baltimore's mayor and City Council have sued prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket in city court, accusing them of running unlicensed sportsbooks that sidestep Maryland age and licensing rules. The cases seek injunctions, restitution, and civil penalties, and come as New York City and private class actions nationwide increase regulatory pressure on these fast-growing betting-style platforms.
   

• 'Final notice': What to know about official-looking home warranty mailers (wmar2news.com) — Baltimore homeowners are being warned to scrutinize official-looking "final notice" mailers that may actually be sales pitches for home warranties or service contracts. The FTC urges residents to research the sender, avoid using the letter's contact information, and not be rushed by urgent language, instead verifying with their real lender and reporting suspected scams when needed.
