A 37-year-old Dublin man was arrested after two shots were fired from an apartment window into a state trooper's cruiser about 5 a.m. yesterday and police were held at bay for more than five hours.No one was injured in the incident.Andrew M.

After last week's unsuccessful air and ground search for a small plane believed to have crashed northwest of Westminster, authorities say the report of a downed pilot was likely a hoax. But they say many questions remain unanswered.Was the report received by state police about 1 p.m. Thursday false or will a hiker or hunter someday stumble upon the wreckage of a plane in a remote area? Who or what was transmitting the weak emergency signal that kept the state police aviation division and the Civil Air Patrol in the air for nearly seven hours Thursday and for three hours Friday morning?

A man armed with at least two rifles and apparently distraught over his girlfriend held police at bay today in Harford County after he fired two shots at a state trooper car from his apartment window, authorities said.The standoff that began at 5 a.m. continued for at least four hours. The apartment is in the 4200 block of Conowingo Road, or U.S. 1, about five miles south of the Cecil County line.Police did not release the name of the suspect, 37, but said negotiators had been in constant telephone contact with the man since 6 a.m.Mike McKelvin, a state police spokesman, said the man has made no demands and has not said why he barricaded himself in the apartment.

If the Ravens take a quarterback with the No. 8 pick, they'll undoubtedly draft Matt Ryan from Boston College. When it comes to the Ravens' other biggest need in the draft, the decision is not that simple. This year's cornerback class -- especially the top of it -- is one of the most difficult groups to dissect for NFL teams. It's debatable who is the top cornerback in the draft. It's even more debatable whether any of the corners deserve to be taken in the top 10. "We spent more time talking about corners in the meetings than probably any other position because it is a tough group to kind of get a feel for," said Eric DeCosta, the Ravens' director of college scouting.

Word around the NFL has the Ravens possibly taking Troy cornerback Leodis McKelvin with the No. 8 pick in the NFL draft later this month. There are some who would consider that a stretch, but McKelvin does have a favorable upside. Because of his versatility, McKelvin is the kind of player Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome likes. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound McKelvin is also a returner who averaged 17.4 yards on punts and 23.2 yards on kickoffs last season. Of course, his primary function with the Ravens would be as a corner, either as a starter or a nickel back behind Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle.
