Good day, neighbors! Debora Whitehead here with today's edition of the Glen Burnie Daily.

First, today's weather:

Breezy with periods of sun. High: 43, low: 31.

Here are the top stories today in Glen Burnie:

1. Anne Arundel County police arrested a 19-year-old man charged with discharging a firearm in connection to a report of shots fired in Glen Burnie on Sunday night, said the police department. (Twitter)
2. A group of Marylanders are suing Maryland Secretary of Labor Tiffany Robinson for failing to administer unemployment insurance benefits according to federal law. The lawsuit, filed by attorneys with the Public Justice Center, alleges that Maryland is not paying claimants within a timely manner. (wmar2news)
3. The Shop Local Movement is hardly a trend – it’s a shift in lifestyle that more and more people are embracing. In increasing numbers, consumers are turning away from big box retailers and investing in local businesses instead, looking to support their communities – and more significantly, the people that make those communities what they are.

4. As more shoppers buy online this holiday season, customers are being warned about Porch Piracy, when a person takes a package that was not shipped to them before its recipient can pick it up from their porch or building. Package theft is a growing problem across America. The Porch Piracy Act lays out fines and potential prison sentences for those who steal packages, also known as porch pirates.
