An Edgemere woman was attacked by at least one of her two pit bulls and seriously injured Friday afternoon, Baltimore County police said. The dogs, one white and the other brown, were loose for several hours after the attack, which occurred shortly before 2:45 p.m. in the 7600 block of North Point Road, police said. The white dog was located in the 8200 block of North Point Road about five hours after the attack and, because it was behaving aggressively, police said officers shot and killed it. A short time later, the brown dog was found and taken into custody by Baltimore County Animal Care and Control, which is holding it pending further investigation.

When police accused an Edgemere man of having sex with a 13-year-old boy, most of the charges were straightforward: soliciting a minor and a related sexual offense, which together could carry up to 30 years in prison. But Baltimore County prosecutors also accused Steven Douglas Podles of knowingly attempting to transmit the HIV virus to the boy - a seldom-used, and often controversial, charge that carries an additional three years behind bars. Even as prosecutors prepare their case against Podles, the effectiveness of such laws is being debated by legislators and public health officials from Maryland to California.

The Baltimore area has been playing host this week to an unusual visitor from up north - a harp seal. Oran Warner said it was spotted around noon Tuesday sunning itself on the end of his dock in Edgemere. When he first spotted it, Warner said, "we thought it was a some kind of log or something. We walked down closer and (said), 'Wait a minute - is that a seal?' We got closer, and sure enough it was a seal. " Warner, 26, texted his cousin, Kristine Weber, who came over and took photographs of the seal, seen above.
