GANGBANGERS IN MARYLAND

Via AP, here’s what’s going down in my home county (Montgomery County, Md.):

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) - Nineteen men were charged in a federal racketeering indictment that accuses them of killings and other violent crimes as members of the MS-13 gang.

The indictments released Thursday say the men committed shootings, kidnappings and other gang-related crimes from April 2003 through June of this year. Six people were slain and gang members allegedly attempted to kill five others.

Montgomery County police arrested 12 people this month after MS-13-related attacks in which six teens were stabbed at a high school and shopping mall. Prince George’s County police are investigating possible MS-13 links to recent stabbings as well.

The federal indictment, which a grand jury handed up Tuesday, accuses the 19 men of violating federal racketeering law. It does not charge them with individual crimes such as homicide or assault.
