This is the entire story, written by the Associated Press and published at Huffington Post (click here):

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Baltimore's homicide toll for 2015 continues to mount after reaching what Police Commissioner Kevin Davis called a "sad" milestone of 300 over the weekend.

Less than four hours after announcing that slaying, police reported another homicide Saturday night.

They say a 22-year-old man was shot in the chest and died a short time later. Police have not announced the man's identity.

The 300th homicide recorded earlier Saturday was the stabbing death of a 27-year-old man.

This is the first time since 1999 that the city has recorded 300 homicides. In 2014, the city saw 211 killings for the year.

 I don’t see how this can possibly enhance Gov. O’Malley’s chances for any position in a Clinton or Sanders administration, let alone for the Presidency itself.

 It also occurs to me that this is about twice as many people who died in the Paris attacks. Yet it is only one city in America, out of how many(?), that suffer this kind of carnage, year after year, decade after decade.

 It was filler on Huffpo, and carried by very few other media outlets (so far)...
