Tourists take selfies in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on Christmas Eve. The fire-damaged church, which was unable to

Some 50,000 tubes of

Nonstop violence as Baltimore nears record homicide rate
By Regina Garcia Cano
Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Baltimore could wrap up 2019
with its highest per-capita
homicide rate on record
as killings of adults and
minors alike for drugs,
retribution, money or no
clear reason continue to
add up and city ofﬁcials
appear unable to stop the
violence.
Police recorded 338
homicides as of Tuesday, following a week of
relentless gunﬁre that
saw eight people shot —
three of them fatally — in
one day and nine others
— one fatally — another
day. That total is up from
309 in 2018 and four shy
of the 342 killings tallied
in 2017 and 2015, the
year when the city’s homicide rate suddenly spiked.
With just over 600,000
residents, Baltimore’s
homicide rate would
reach approximately 57
per 100,000 residents
if the death toll reaches
342. That would eclipse
the rate of 1993, when
the city had a record
353 killings but was also
much more populous.
By contrast, New York
City, with more than 8
million residents, had 306
homicides through Dec.
15.
Police yellow tape and
makeshift memorials with
ﬂowers, stuffed animals
and balloons have become
common in some neighborhoods of this deeply
segregated city. Memorials can be found within
blocks of each other at
the same time.
“It’s a major concern
for me, not just as a hopeful man but as a citizen of
Baltimore who grew up
in inner city Baltimore,”
said Carmichael “Stokey”
Cannady, a reformed drug
dealer turned community

activist who wants to be
mayor. “I remember when
a person had a conﬂict
and would have a ﬁght
at best, now these young
kids, at the age of 13,
14 years old, are ﬁnding
handguns in their possession and they use them as
toys ... The whole system
needs to be revamped.”
This is the ﬁfth year in
a row this Mid-Atlantic
community dubbed
“Charm City” has reported more than 300 killings.
Before 2015, that number
had generally been on
the decline, but the trend
reversed after civil unrest
followed the death in
police custody of a young
black man, Freddie Gray.
Reasons for the upward
trend vary and are subject
to interpretation. Many
accuse police of taking
a hands-off approach to
crime ﬁghting since six of
their own were charged
in connection with Gray’s
death. Others attribute
it to the apparent free
ﬂow of illegal guns, the
effects of a punishing
opioid epidemic, social
inequalities and a lack of
decent jobs for many in
disenfranchised neighborhoods. Some say political
incompetence at City Hall
also contributed.
Police Commissioner
Michael Harrison, who
was tapped this year to
ﬁx a dispirited department and regain residents’ trust, unveiled a
ﬁve-year crime-ﬁghting
plan in July, that includes
a goal of responding to
calls within 10 minutes
and prioritizing those
threatening life or property. The plan also contains
recruitment strategies,
community engagement
efforts and accountability
measures. But the department lacks the personnel
and resources to achieve
all the goals, and Har-

could wrap up 2019 with its highest per-capita homicide rate on

It seems to me that
tonight is a very special
night - an extraordinary one
unlike any other at any time
of the year.
It is an event experienced
by hundreds of millions of
people around the world - all
with the common feelings
of serenity, peace, and love.
We occasionally see signs of
this unity, this harmony of
spirit, as warring political
factions may call a pause in
their squabbling, and both
religious and non-religious
folks take a break from their
hectic lives in recognition
of this solemn and beautiful
occasion.
Perhaps the most dramatic example of this Christmas Eve aura arose over a
century ago during the ﬁrst
year of World War I. German and British soldiers
were involved in ﬁghting
each other in trench combat, that horriﬁc version of
warfare where troops fought
endless battles over small
pieces of ground. Extensive
artillery barrages preceded
infantry charges “over the
top” with soldiers leaving
their protective trenches
and attacking the enemy in

see the German soldiers —
some appeared old, others
were boys, and others wore
glasses … A number of our
fellows have got addresses
from the Germans and are

another after the war.” —
Pvt. Farnden, Riﬂe Brigade
“Between the trenches
there were a lot of dead Germans whom we helped to
bury. In one place where the
trenches are only 25 yards
apart we could see dead
Germans half-buried, their
legs and gloved hands sticking out of the ground. The
trenches in this position
are so close that they are
called ‘The Death Trap’, as
hundreds have been killed
there.” — A junior ofﬁcer
“On our right was a regiment of Prussian Guards
and on our left was a Saxon
regiment. On Christmas
morning some of our fellows shouted across to them
saying that if they would
not ﬁre our chaps would
meet them half-way between
the trenches and spend
Christmas as friends. They
consented to do so. Our
chaps at once went out and
when in the open Prussians

ﬁred on our men killing two
and wounding several more.
The Saxons, who behaved
like gentlemen, threatened
the Prussians if they did
the same trick again. Well,
during Christmas Day our
fellows and the Saxons ﬁxed
up a table between the two
trenches and they spent a
happy time together, and
exchanged souvenirs and
presented one another with
little keepsakes.” — A British soldier
Well, there’s much more
to this story, but I think the
essential truth is obvious.
This was a special night the one night where, even
in the midst of some of
the bloodiest warfare ever
known, peace could break
out and erstwhile enemies
could reconcile their differences - even if temporarily.
What’s regrettable is that
this is only a nearly forgotten story from history and
not an object lesson for
today.
At least that’s how it
seems to me.

MASON, W.Va. — An unfortunate feeling of
déjà vu.
The Wahama boys basketball team dropped its
second straight 18-point decision at Gary Clark
Court, with the White Falcons falling to nonconference guest Wirt County by a 64-46 count on
Monday.
Wahama (0-5) never led in the contest, tying

UCF beats Marshall 48-25 in Gasparilla Bowl
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)
— Central Florida is
best known for a highpowered offense, but the
Knights are capable of
big plays on defense, too.
Richie Grant and
Tre’mon Morris-Brash
had ﬁrst-quarter defensive touchdowns, Dillon
Gabriel led three thirdquarter scoring drives
and UCF beat Marshall
48-25 in the Gasparilla
Bowl on Monday.
“We ﬁnished the season the right way,” UCF
coach Josh Heupel said.
“The turnovers were critical. I thought defensively
we started about as fast
as you can.”
Grant had a 39-yard
interception return on
Marshall’s third play
from scrimmage 56 seconds into the game, and
Morris-Brash recovered
a fumble and ran it 55
yards for a score that
helped UCF go up 21-0
with 7 minutes left in the
ﬁrst quarter.
Gabriel threw a 35-yard
touchdown pass to Otis
Anderson, connected on
a 75-yard score with Marlon Williams, and added
a 3-yard TD run as UCF
went ahead 45-22 with
6:39 remaining in the
third.
Gabriel completed 14
of 24 passes for 260 yards
as the Knights (10-3)
reached 10 or more wins
in a school-record third
consecutive season. Williams caught seven passes
for 132 yards and Greg
McCrae had 80 rushing
yards on 14 carries.
“We’re happy with the

in New Year’s Day bowl
games the previous two
seasons, beating Auburn
two years ago in the
Peach Bowl and losing to
LSU in the last season’s
Fiesta Bowl.
“You look at this season, there’s goals that we
didn’t accomplish, right?”
Heupel said. “But I hope
we never get to the point
as a program and a fan
base where fans and outside voices aren’t really
appreciative of what our
kids do every single day.”
Marshall: It was the
ﬁrst bowl loss for the
Thundering Herd under
Holliday, who entered 6-0
in bowls at the school.
Knox, a sophomore,
topped 100 yards rushing
for the seventh time.

on the scoreboard during a Nov. 30 football game against Florida
International at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va.

10-3, but at the same time
we know what we could
have done,” Gabriel said.
Isaiah Green went 9
of 23 for 173 yards with
a TD and had a rushing
touchdown for Marshall
(8-5). Brenden Knox, the
Conference USA MVP,
had 103 yards on 26 carries.
“I thought our kids
fought their tail off,” Marshall coach Doc Holliday
said. “They fought the
entire game.”
Green had a 3-yard
rushing touchdown and
hit Willie Johnson on a
70-yard TD pass, and Justin Rohrwasser made a
50-yard ﬁeld goal during
the third quarter.
Marshall got within

21-7 with 12:28 to go in
the second when Micah
Abraham picked off
backup quarterback Darriel Mack Jr.’s pass and
returned it 75 yards for a
touchdown.
Abraham’s father, Donnie, played his home
games with the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers (199601) at Raymond James
Stadium, the site of the
Gasparilla Bowl.
McCrae had a 26-yard
TD run early in the ﬁrst
and Dylan Barnas made a
36-yard ﬁeld goal as time
expired as UCF took a
24-7 halftime advantage.
The takeaway
UCF: The Knights had
no letdown after playing

Strange stats
UCF lead 21-0 after
the ﬁrst quarter despite
being outgained 133-86.
Marshall, however, had
three turnovers. The
Knights had a 168-0 yardage advantage during the
second quarter and were
outscored 7-3.
Standout ‘D’
UCF linebacker Nate
Evans ﬁnished with 12
tackles and a sack. Defensive back Antwan Collier
made six tackles, recovered two fumbles and had
an interception.

Blue Devils, Eagles compete at VCHS meet

Injury-riddled
offense of Steelers
sputtering to finish
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Paxton Lynch hasn’t
thrown a meaningful pass in two years. Yet there the
Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback was on Monday, getting bombarded with questions about whether
he’s capable of stepping in and helping lead Pittsburgh
to a playoff berth.
“Whatever they need me to do, I will be ready to
do,” Lynch said. “That is why they brought me here,
to help this team win if I was called upon. So that is
what I am going to be ready for.”
The fact Lynch — signed to the practice squad in
September — is even in the mix is a ﬁtting symbol
of Pittsburgh’s unwieldy season. The magic of rookie
undrafted free agent Devlin “Duck” Hodges has faded
under a sea of interceptions.
Mason Rudolph’s enigmatic year shifted direction
twice in the span of 90 minutes during a loss to the
New York Jets on Sunday. He came on in relief of a
mistake-prone Hodges in the second quarter, immediately helped Pittsburgh rally from a 10-point deﬁcit
to tie the game only to spend the ﬁnal minutes on the
sideline after injuring his left shoulder.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin offered only “stay tuned”
when asked postgame who will get the nod when Pittsburgh (8-7) visits Baltimore (13-2) next Sunday. Given
what the quarterback — whomever it is — might have
to work with, the choices appear negligible.
Running back James Conner’s status is uncertain
after he left with a quad injury. Center Maurkice
Pouncey walked around with a limp and his left knee
in a brace on Monday after going down in the second
half against the Jets. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hardly looked anywhere close to 100% while catching just two passes for 22 yards in his return from a
knee problem.
Though the top-seeded Ravens have already said
they’re going to sit star quarterback Lamar Jackson
and the majority of the bold-faced names on offense
with home ﬁeld already clinched, Baltimore still
might have enough ﬁrepower to edge out the Steelers,
who have scored multiple offensive touchdowns in a
game just once since Halloween.
“These last two games there’s been somewhat of a
playbook, we get down early, we spot (them) points
and they can play keep-away for most of the game,”
Pittsburgh defensive end Cam Heyward said. “But I
look on attacking that. Making sure we don’t surrender touchdowns early. Offense is going to put up some
points this week.”
Heyward spoke with conﬁdence, yet the reality is
the Steelers’ margin for error is nearly invisible. The
fact the postseason is still in play is a testament to
Tomlin’s relentless optimism and a defense that times
has been better than the offense at ﬁnding the end
zone.
Pittsburgh has four defensive or special teams’
touchdowns this season, all of them coming in games
they won by seven points or fewer. They might have
to do it one more time for their somewhat complicated path to the playoffs — regardless of what happens
in Baltimore, Pittsburgh needs Tennessee to lose in
Houston — to clear up.
“Only scenario that matters is if we win,” Heyward
said. “That’s how I see it. I’m not looking for anybody
else to do the job. I know we’ve got to look for help
but the job’s got to get done in here.”
What’s working
The defense has allowed fewer than 300 yards in six
consecutive games and recovered nicely after allowing
the Jets to go 75 yards on their opening drive Sunday,
giving up just 186 yards the rest of the game. Barring
a complete meltdown against the Ravens, the Steelers will ﬁnish in the top ﬁve in the league in yards
allowed, points allowed, sacks and turnovers.
What needs help
The running game. Pittsburgh has just six rushing touchdowns on the season, which would set a
franchise low if the Steelers can’t produce two touchdowns on the ground against the Ravens.
