governor's redistricting committee isn't getting good feedback from either side. the proposal takes aim at republican roscoe bartlett's sixth district, making it more difficult for him to get re- elected by taking a chunk out of frederick county and replacing it with a portion of the democratic-leaning montgomery county. but democrats don't like it, either. representative donna edwards believes it dilutes minority voting power by splitting black, asian, and hispanic communities in montgomery county into three districts. because congressman dutch ruppersberger sits on the house intelligence committee, his second district is being drawn to include both aberdeen proving ground and fort meade. if the new map is adopted, congressman elijah cummings' seat could become one of the strongest african-american districts in the country. but the first district, occupied by republican andy harris, is largely left intact. overall, maryland republicans consider the proposal gerrymandering, and several republican senators and delegates have come up with their own maps. state house leaders say all of the redistricting proposals

will get full hearings. the first will start today at 1:00 in the afternoon. kim dacey, wbal-tv 11 news. >> thank you. an overnight shooting in east baltimore is the latest in a string of violent crimes over the weekend. the most recent shooting was it harford road. the unidentified victim was suffering from serious injuries. >> a similar surge in northeast baltimore after a man was shot in the stomach. this happened on sunday evening on homestead street. it is unclear who is responsible for shooting three people in the turner station neighborhood in dundalk. some sort of argument broke out on main street. somebody drove up and open fire on the crowd. three people were hit. neighbors say they are tired of
