We were biking on the road this afternoon, enjoying the beautiful spring weather, when we encountered a fantastic line of cars - stretching for about a mile from our house all the way to to the stop sign where a policeman was directing traffic. This doesn't happen on the street, and one of the drivers told us (everyone was at a standstill at the time) that the police had shut down part of Route 213 and all the rush hour traffic was being detoured. It was kind of funny seeing the drivers segregate into either those taking a detour in stride, and those with major road rage.
Anyway the cause of the police shutting down the road turned out to be a police shooting:

(the location would be about a mile from our house).
Nobody has any of the details yet, but I know I will follow this case...
Incidentally, in other news from the Cecil Whig, "Loose Turkey Fowls Elkton Traffic". Yes, "fowls".
