Man and his dog electrocuted in freak accident during thunderstorm
A Maryland resident and his dog were reportedly electrocuted to death in a freak accident that happened over the weekend.
The Anne Arundel County Fire Department published a report about the incident, which took place on June 30, on Tuesday. In the statement, officials said a 31-year-old man was electrocuted outside his house in Severn.
Officials were alerted to the scene after receiving multiple 911 calls about trees falling down during a severe storm. At one point, a tree fell down and knocked down power lines, including lines that fell on a metal fence surrounding multiple properties.
“Crews worked collectively to identify and prioritize the hazards,” the press release explained. “During the initial size-up of the incident, crews located one adult male suffering from injuries from electrocution.”

“Crews were able to quickly get the patient away from the hazardous environment and advanced medical treatment from Anne Arundel County Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians were immediately initiated.”
According to the Anne Arundel County Fire Department, the man was rushed to a hospital but did not survive the incident.
“An adult male was transported with serious life-threatening injuries to Baltimore Washington Medical Center… [where he] was pronounced deceased,” the statement read.
Officials told WBAL-TV that the man had accidentally made contact with an electrified fence while trying to rescue his dog.

“That fence became energized with one of the electrical wires,” firefighter Steven Bishop said. “There was a dog next to that fence who sadly got electrocuted.”
“From that electrocution, the dog’s owner heard and came running out to try and save the dog and sadly got electrocuted as well.”
The firefighter told WBAL-TV that residents should always stay cautious if they see a fallen power line.
“Never, ever trust a wire down,” he said. “If you see a wire, never try to touch it.”

PITTSBURGH (WKBN) – Morgan Wallen has canceled his concert that was set to happen Saturday night in Pittsburgh.
According to Ticketmaster, Wallen canceled the show at Acrisure Stadium for Saturday, June 6.
Wallen wrote on his Instragram account that the show was canceled due to the threat of severe weather.
Ticketmaster says if you bought a ticket, you don’t have to do anything — they will issue you a refund to your original method of payment and the money should appear on your account within 14-21 days.
If tickets were transferred to you, the refund will go to the fan who originally purchased the tickets from Ticketmaster.
The show was part of Wallen’s “Still the Problem” tour.
Two people have been arrested in connection to a shooting at an event hall in Waterbury last weekend.
Officers received information about a shooting at So Blu’Niq on Wolcott Street on Sunday around 5 a.m. It was also reported that a victim from the incident had admitted themselves to the hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds.
Police said they made contact with the 27-year-old victim at the hospital. According to investigators, she had a gunshot wound to her abdomen and her arm. She is reportedly still admitted and receiving treatment, but is considered to be in stable condition.
Investigators responded to So Blu’Niq and found a crime scene. Authorities said they determined there was an isolated disturbance that happened inside the business that escalated to a firearm being discharged and the woman being hit by a projectile.
While investigating, authorities said they also determined that at the time of the incident, liquor and alcoholic beverages were illegally being sold without a permit or license.
Warrants were secured for a 50-year-old woman from Waterbury and a 29-year-old man from Waterbury.
The woman was taken into custody on Friday and is being charged with illegal sale of alcohol. She is set to appear in court on June 10.
The man was taken into custody on Wednesday and is facing charges including assault, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol/revolver by a convicted felon, illegal discharge of a firearm, reckless endangerment and carrying a pistol without a permit. He appeared in court on Thursday on a $1.5 millon bond.

A man was shot by police Friday after grabbing a sword and swinging it at officers during a traffic stop, according to the Calais Police Department.
Calais Police Officer Charles Ball and Washington County Sheriff’s Deputy Taylor Leblanc stopped Abinadi White, 35, at the intersection of Main and North streets, according to a press release.
When White was told he was under arrest, he reportedly refused to comply. Officers tried to use a Taser but were unsuccessful, and when they tried to physically take him into custody he grabbed a sword and swung it at them. Both officers fired their weapons.
White was taken to Calais Regional Hospital and later airlifted to Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where he was stabilized.
Both officers have been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure when deadly force is used. The Maine Attorney General’s Office will investigate the use of deadly force.
White faces charges including criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, failure to submit to arrest and operating after suspension, police said.
