An Anne Arundel County officer shot at a suspect after police encountered a car heist in progress in Hanover early Wednesday morning. Police said officers went to Baltimore Washington Auto Outlet in the 2700 block of Annapolis Road at around 12:30 a.m. after the building's burglar alarm was triggered. Two men wearing masks were at the scene when police arrived. One ran to a red 2005 Chevrolet Corvette, which police said was stolen from the business and parked nearby, and drove at an officer who was outside of his patrol car, according to police.

While I am not a native of Baltimore, I have lived in the area for six years now, and I've never seen anything quite as accurate as the commentary written by Eileen Pollock ("Baltimore is no New York," Jan. 13). I was born and raised in Boston, which is certainly not Manhattan but it's no small town either. I moved to Baltimore for my job and, at the time, was excited at the prospect of a new and "blossoming" (as one journalist put it) scene. It turned out that the only way I could have been prepared for Baltimore was if I had spent extensive time in Detroit first.

A former Baltimore County police officer will serve no jail time after pleading guilty to allegations that he filmed himself engaging in sex acts and neglected calls while on duty. Aaron Z. Pross, 29, of Newark, Del., received an 18-month suspended sentence and three years probation Wednesday in Baltimore County Circuit Court. Pross was assigned to the Pikesville Precinct before he resigned last month. He pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct in office. According to the state's attorney's office, Pross took more than 120 images and 20 videos engaging in sexual acts with himself, including one in which he masturbated inside his patrol car while reports of "possible guns involved," were audible over a police radio.
