🌱 Pine Grove MS Not Target Of Bomb + Local Arrested For Jan. 6

Hello all. It's me, Rose Mendez, your host of the Catonsville Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town today.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and nice. High: 71 Low: 55.

Here are the top three stories in Catonsville today:

1. Yesterday, Sep. 23, a county prosecutor said a preliminary investigation suggests Pine Grove Middle school was not the intended target of a bomb attack. According to police, the bomb may have been a test to see if the device worked, which it did. (Subscription: Baltimore Sun)
2. On Monday, Sep. 19, 23-year-old Paul Lovley of nearby Halethorpe was arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. He faces misdemeanor charges, including entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. (Subscription: Baltimore Sun)
3. A Baltimore County mother, Tiffany Pruitt, wants more crossing guards after her 10-year-old son was hit by a car on his way home from school. Pruitt's son Desmond said, "I looked both ways and he came out of nowhere. I was in lots of pain." Tiffany alleges if there was a crossing guard, the accident would not have happened. Police said the crosswalk is not manned because it is not an official intersection, and crossing guards only work from 3:20 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. (Fox Baltimore)
