• Man Sentenced After Firing 10 Rounds From Glock 43X (patch.com) — A 27-year-old Aberdeen resident has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after firing multiple shots on New County Road in October 2023, though no one came forward as a victim or witness. Investigators later tied a recovered Glock 43X to the case, leading to his conviction on firearm and reckless endangerment charges, which Harford County prosecutors say reflects a broader push against violent crime.
