The Police Department of the Town of Leesburg has begun circulating a call for information related to the April 15 burglary of Loudoun Guns, located on Industrial Court in Leesburg.

A friend of mine recently received her jury notice in the mail. For some reason, the feeling that hits you upon being tapped for jury selection is extremely similar to that of being notified of an IRS audit. There’s a bit of panic in both cases as you realize that the government is going to take over your life for a little bit.

The Loudoun Young Democrats held their third and final introduction for the Democratic gubernatorial candidates on Friday, April 24 at Vintage 50. As expected, McAuliffe was bigger than life. After having heard of event cancellations last week and being told that his voice was horse from the hard-travelling any candidate has to do when running for office, McAuliffe still arrived in high spirits—loud and anxious to meet whoever he could. For whatever the reason, McAuliffe simply does not seemed staged—there was no attempt to hide a drink from photo opportunities and he had rolled up his shirt sleeves almost immediately.

Three Leesburg children were orphaned on Wednesday, April 29, victims of violence that occurred in the Leesburg suburb of Potomac Crossing. Leesburg Police responded to a 911 call at approximately 4:50 a.m., placed from within a townhouse on Smartt’s Lane, less than a half-mile from the Ball’s Bluff Regional Park.

Darwin Bowman, one of those accused in the March death of William Bennett in Lansdowne, appeared April 27 before a Judge Dean Worcester in Loudoun’s General District Court for arraignment. He is accused with Capital Murder.

Stevens Miller (D), Dulles District Supervisor and candidate for the 86th District of the House of Delegates will be at Joe’s Pizzaria on Saturday, April 25 at 3 p.m. The buffet will be open during the event for $5. Donations will also be accepted at the event.

Monday, April 13 was a special day–one that Brenda Callihan, management coordinator for Inova Loudoun’s new oncology unit has been waiting for. Callihan was an early and constant proponent for a dedicated oncology unit, recognizing that those being treated for cancer have particular needs, and are more likely to be hospitalized for longer periods than many other patients.
