Hey, people of Glen Burnie! It's me again, your host of the Glen Burnie Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny. High: 70 Low: 51. Dare I say... spring has sprung? Seventh time is the charm!

Here are the top stories in Glen Burnie today:

  1. The Flashpoint Convenience store was the target of a robbery on Sunday, April 17. A man with a gun entered the store and threatened an employee. The employee was locked in a back room when the suspect stole money from the cash register. (Digital Edition)
  2. Glen Burnie basketball player Taysha Bender has made the second team for the Dominican College Athletics. Congratulations! (Dominican College Athletics)
  3. The Severn-Danza property has been taken over by Anne Arundel County. This area was in need of public fields, walking trails and a new school. Since this acquisition, these ideas can now start to come to fruition. (Capital Gazette)
  4. April 19 at approximately 4:20 p.m., a fight broke out in the Brooklyn Park area. Residents called police when the sound of gun shots were heard. The police could not find a weapon, or the people involved in the fight, but a spent shell casing was found. (A.A. County/Press Release)
  5. Jameal Danielle Mcleod, 28, pled guilty to being an accessory after the fact in an assault. She was in the company of Jermain Epps, 28, when Epps shot a man. Both fled the scene but were later taken into custody. All but 151 days of McLeod's sentence was suspended. (Ocean City Today)
