Hot start to school year
A school bus caught fire en route to the first day of class at Whitman High School on Monday in Potomac. Nobody was injured and no harm was caused, unless students were upset that the bus was a tad late to pick themup on the first day back from summer vacation. Montgomery County fire officials say the bus caught fire at about 6:30 a.m. Monday on Falls Road in Potomac, right in front of a fire station, and the flames were quickly doused. Investigators suspect an engine malfunction caused the fire. – Kathleen Miller
Man dies from injuries after Adams Morgan fight
A 26-year-old Capitol Heights man died Saturday from injuries he suffered in an early-morning altercation in Adams Morgan two weeks ago, according to D.C. police. Police said Aaron Paul Tinsley was struck in the face and the mouth and fell, striking his head on the sidewalk at 18th and California Streets NW at about 3 a.m., Aug. 18. Tinsley was able to walk and returned to a friend’s home in Temple Hills, but was later taken to the Prince George’s Community Hospital after he suffered seizures, police said.
