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

By Patrick Herron

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!”
