checked on the animals when she saw the dog attacking the herd. she rescued the dog off the animals and locked it in a shed, but by then two goats were killed and more than a dozen animals were injured including a pony that was twice the dog's size. >> i think it must have been about the chase. the sheep started running because they don't have any defense. i think he just grabbed whoever he got the closest to. and if he couldn't take them down, he ran to the next one. >> reporter: the owners surrendered the dog to animal control and it was euthanized yesterday. she says she knew the dog and he usually has a nice disposition. but for some reason, once it got among the sheep, it's like it lost its mind. since the attack, volunteers have been coming over to help change the depression on the injured animals. that's the only way they can insure they will survive. every animal on the farm was rescued from families who couldn't take care of them or neglected the animals. she is angry about the attack on creatures that have already had a hard life, but at the same time she feels very badly

for the dog. >> i mean, i would tell people how nice she was, and she wasn't aggressive, and then i saw the other side of her. i never, ever saw a dog flip like that. >> reporter: despite the setback, she'll continue to rescue livestock that are in need. in gambrills, roosevelt leftwich, abc 2 news. >> the dog's owner was not available for comment. now for a look at tonight's top stories, a boy is recovering after getting trapped in a sand hole in ocean city. it happened today near 37th street. ocean city officials say the boy was digging two holes in the sand with other children when they tried to connect the two underground, the sand collapsed, almost suffocating the child. lifeguards worked on the boy. he was taken to an area hospital. investigators say an arsonist is to blame for a three-alarm fire sunday morning. the fire started at the greens on robins way in westminster. authorities say someone spotted a man running from the apartment complex. later, wayne harry doherty was

arrested. by coming to the complex, police say doherty violated a protective order filed by his ex-girlfriend. doherty is being held at the county detention center. confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor continue today. the nominee vowed not to let her personal views affect how she would rule on cases. sotomayor told a senate judiciary committee she issues rulings based on the law, and does not allow her sympathy, personal views, or prestigious to influence the outcome of her cases. an inmate who says her hair extensions were ripped from her head has been given a $75,000 settlement. frederick county sheriff told a local paper the settlement is appropriate, and that officers did use excessive force. he says the inmate was handcuffed and placed in leg irons and a restraint chair, and that officers used pepper spray on her. he says her hair was cut very close to her head. removal of hair extensions is

standard practice in jail. baltimore city's council has designated more than a half of the city a recovery zone. what does that mean exactly? well, the designation allows the city to hand out $50 million in bonds for development projects in those neighborhoods. the city used data from foreclosures to determine which areas would be eligible. meteor hunters think they may have narrowed the area where fragments landed last week. scientists used video from the york water company and a photograph captured by a maryland man to find the pieces. the target area is believed to be somewhere in the peckway area and they're also looking near the susquehanna river. meteor hunters from across the country flocked to our area this week, searching for some of the treasure that shot from the sky. the weather that we've got is a treasure now. the numbers that i want you to pay attention to are in this column right here. look at the humidity.

anonymous. >> i couldn't believe it. i sat up-front because i was like nervous. >> reporter: the woman who took these photos says she started snapping because she feared for her life. >> this is not acceptable, you know, to be driving. you have passengers on the bus. it's not just your life. it's other passengers as well. >> reporter: but even with other people's lives at stake, the anonymous commuter says no one confronted the driver. she says she continued to shift her eyes from the road back to the book. >> if this is indeed what it purports to reflect, a bus driver whose not attending to the road, i'm just so distraught. >> dangerous. and stupid. how are you going to drive and read? >> and that was joce sterman reporting. metro officials are urging commuters who see operators breaking the rules to contact the agency. officials promise to investigate. an update tonight on the family of bald eagles forced out of martin state airport.

[ siren ] >> reporter: the call comes out around 9:30 on a wednesday morning. a child is locked in a car in timonium. in less than three minutes, firefighters from the lutherville volunteer fire company get dressed, grab their equipment, and get on the road with lights and sirens. >> it's hot outside. it could be dangerous. >> reporter: 1-year-old ceci watches as work goes on around her. the girl's father says he accidentally locked his keys in the car with her inside. a few minutes later, relief as

firefighters pry open a door. ceci is checked out by paramedics on the scene. and we're back on the truck with the men who rescued her. their work is finished here, but they're always waiting on the next car. for so many of the men and women in the firehouse, firefighting is in their genes. without a second thought, they agree to rescue others while often putting their own lives in jeopardy. and here in lutherville, no one gets paid. >> everybody is 100% volunteer, 100% of the time. it's a dedication of a lot of individuals, people that are lawyers, people that are shift worker, career firefighters, bankers, college students. >> reporter: cole is a senior at gaucher, but the firehouse is his college dorm. he signed up for a new live-in program that allows students to receive free room and board.

firefighters responded to nearly two thousand calls last year from lutherville. and for the call they dread, the response is the same. when fallen firefighters are taken to dulaney valley memorial gardens, the crane is raised and firefighters pause on the seminary avenue bridge above interstate 83. >> and with the crane, it just looks fantastic having the american flag up there. all the men in their uniform paying their respects to another fallen brother. >> reporter: the danger of firefighting is something most never consider. when time is precious, and a life is on the line. >> it gives you a nice feeling inside to know that you were able to help out when someone else is in need. >> reporter: cheryl conner, abc 2 news. now the forecast certified baltimore's most accurate, here is chief meteorologist norm lewis and maryland's most powerful doppler radar. >> did i hear you say possible

we hear about burglaries every day, but it's not often we learn about burglars who leave behind their own mug shots. sophia battles is now missing five tvs from her home. what is worse, she saw the burglars casing her house that very same day. she thought they were folks who were lost. instead, they were waiting for her family to leave so they could make their move. in just ten minutes, they made off with computers, jewelry, even her kids new tennis shoes. but one of the thieves left something behind, a cell phone with his picture on it.

>> how dumb can you bao be? >> usually a person perpetrating a crime leaves some type of evidence behind, but it's usually not a picture of themselves. so this one is rather unique in that. >> police are hoping the picture helps solve the crimes. the family is hoping it puts the thieves out of business before someone gets hurt. up next, imagine giving birth without ever knowing you were pregnant. and families are ready for warrer if that what's it takes to save their school. abc 2 news at 6 starts right now. >> now abc 2 news at 6. >> the doors of towson catholic high school are slated to close forever. but it seems nobody going quietly. good evening. i'm marybeth marsden. students, parents, and alums are gathering right now to save their school. abc 2 news christian schaffer is live in towson with our top story tonight. chris? >> reporter: yeah, marybeth. what is actually going on tonight is a school fair. the archdiocese is hosting the fair to try to show the
