so much to hurt these families. >> reporter: several prominent african americans are buried at the ceremony, including lynching victim, emit hill. >> this crime, it's a whole new dimension that shows us what lengths people would go through for financial gain. >> reporter: investigators say the workers targeted older, unmarked, and overgrown gravesites. many of the head stones were smashed and the remains scattered. >> this was not done in a very, very delicate way, folks. this was not replacing gray, not -- graves. not moving graves. this was dumping them. >> reporter: others suspected something was going on. they alerted the cemetery owners. suspects had a charge that could carry up to 30 years in prison. kathryn brown, wjz eyewitness news. >> the company that actually owns the cemetery is from

arizona and says it is working with investigators. it is a wake-up call for the nation. that is what the government's drug czar says about the death of michael jackson. kai is following the story from the newsroom to explain why. >> well, denise. gill kerlikowske is warning about drug abuse. he is the chief of the office of national drug control. he says more people die from drug overdoses in the united states than from gunshot riewpped wounds. -- gunshot wounds. he said the report of his use of powerful drugs should serve as a warning to everybody. investigators looking into michael jackson's death have honed in on drugs that were given to the king of pop to fight his insomnia. >> thank you, kai. it could be several more weeks before toxicology reports reveal michael jackson's death. a police-involved shooting at carroll county. a taneytown police officer shot a man who was allegedly trying to run down the officer, along with the woman he was helping. it happened last night, around

another. physical you were required to obtain a license that criminals might be reluctant to have that kind of contact with police. >> reporter: maryland does license gun shops which can help. but the study shows our state's laws on that and enforcement are weak. >> what maryland could do more of is routine inspections to check the dealer's inventory against their sales record. they could even do undercover sting operations to make sure the dealers aren't making illegal sales. >> reporter: maryland does have a law that limits the number of guns purchased to one per month. but according to this study, that doesn't make a bit of difference when it comes to the number of illegal guns used in crimes in the city. other east coast cities, with tougher gun sales. camden and newark, new jersey top the list. new york city and boston. baltimore's 17th. 54 cities. a baltimore councilman says city police are doing their best. but the state must help. >> we need our friends in
