Hello Chief Scott,
Something big was happening the night of 12/23 in the 4100 block of 31st. There were numerous emergency vehicles of all kinds here and it looked like someone was apprehended. We were hoping to find out more in one of your crime reports...we aren't trying to be nosy, just concerned that something warranting that much attention happened on our block and we haven't heard of it since. If you could shed some light on this incident we'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks!

On Sunday evening December 23rd in the 4100 block of 31st Street officers responded to a call for a subject who took an unknown type and quantity of pills then turned on the gas in the home, apparently in an attempt to commit suicide. As soon as our officers arrived on the scene they smelled the natural gas odor and immediately summoned the fire department.

When the subject opened the door and saw the officers he fled through the house and jumped out a window. He then assaulted one officer who deployed his Taser in order to subdue him. The subject was transported to Prince george's Hospital for an emergency psychological evaluation. The house was aired out and secured once the subject was in custody.

Boston Marathon/West, Texas Spam Campaigns

There is a new spam campaign in circulation using the Boston Marathon bombings that occurred on April 15, 2013 as a lure. Users are sent an e-mail encouraging them to a watch a video of the explosion. When the user clicks on the enclosed link to watch the video malware is installed on the user’s computer.   The following URL patterns have been found in these e-mails: http://[IP-address]/boston.html   http://[IP-address]/news.html   When the user clicks on one of the links the Kehlios worm is installed on the user’s system which has the capacity to send spam; carry out Distributed Denial of Service Attacks; and steal online currency such as bitcoins. Most major anti-virus vendors have signatures for detecting this malware so users should keep their antivirus programs up-to-date.   In addition to the Boston Marathon spam campaign, a West, Texas plant explosion spam campaign has also sprung up. This spam campaign uses similar exploitation techniques as the Boston Marathon spam campaign p
