Antisemitic Graffiti Found in Bethesda

By Patrick Herron

Published November 14, 2022 at 1:11PM

Police are investigating antisemitic graffiti that was found this morning in Bethesda near the intersection of Fleming Ave and Dickens Ave, at the entrance of the Bethesda Trolley trail. Additional graffiti was later found on a brick wall at Old Georgetown Road and Tuckerman Lane. Antisemitic vandalism also occurred at the Bethesda Trolley Trail back in August. According to MCPD, “The graffiti was reported at 6:30 this morning at the Bethesda Trolley Trail. MCPD is investigating, but at this time there are no suspects or descriptions. We are asking residents to check ring cameras or other home surveillance video. More information will be released when it’s available.” Feature photo courtesy of Laura Rosenberg Hosid.

County Executive Marc Elrich released the following statement: “For the second time in just over three months, the Bethesda Trolley Trail has been tagged with antisemitic graffiti in the Wildwood neighborhood. Montgomery County response teams are working to remove these hateful images as quickly as possible. I visited this site after the first incident in August and it deeply saddened me to see this. My Chief Administrative Officer, Rich Madaleno, visited this morning and was also appalled. To see this happen again just a few months later is truly upsetting. Additionally, we also learned of a second location, at Old Georgetown Road and Tuckerman Lane, where more antisemitic graffiti was tagged on a brick wall.

Beyond MoCo: Three Dead and Two Injured After a Shooting Sunday Night at the University of Virgina

By Patrick Herron

Published November 14, 2022 at 10:08AM

As of this writing, I am heartbroken to report that the shooting has resulted in three fatalities; two additional victims were injured and are receiving medical care. We are working closely with the families of the victims, and we will share additional details as soon as we are able. Our University Police Department has joined forces with other law enforcement agencies to apprehend the suspect, and we will keep our community apprised of developments as the situation evolves.

This is a message any leader hopes never to have to send, and I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia. This is a traumatic incident for everyone in our community, and we have cancelled classes for today (Monday, Nov. 14). At this point only designated essential employees should report to work on Monday (all remote employees should continue to work remotely). If you are unsure of your status, please contact your supervisor.

$100,008 Winning Powerball Ticket Sold in Gaithersburg Has Been Claimed

Published November 14, 2022 at 9:48AM

“My wife was supposed to buy the tickets, but didn’t get around to it so I wound up picking them up at Steve’s Deli instead,” the Montgomery County man said. Since the tickets were Quick Pick, the timing of the purchase determined what numbers were on the tickets.

“I showed my wife the ticket, the winning numbers and the rules of the game,” he said. “She took a look and said, ‘we won $50,000’. I showed her that I had paid the extra dollar for the Power Play option, so multiply that $50,000 by two!”
