We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, two individuals were injured in the incident. Witnesses reported seeing a male suspect, described as being in his early 20s, wearing a black hoodie and a mask, holding a large knife in an alleyway behind 40 North Conococheague Street.
When deputies arrived, they encountered an individual matching the suspect’s description. Officers ordered the suspect to stop and drop his weapon, but he reportedly ignored these commands and advanced toward the deputies while holding the knife. One deputy attempted to use a Taser, but the suspect continued to approach. At this point, a second deputy discharged his firearm, striking the suspect. The deputies then secured the suspect and administered aid until emergency personnel arrived.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The suspect was initially taken to Meritus Medical Center and later transferred to another facility for further treatment. Detectives later interviewed the two victims, who were treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
According to the victims, one individual was attacked by the suspect while working outside a nearby building. The second victim, a passerby who stopped to assist the first, was also confronted and injured by the suspect.
The deputies involved have been placed on administrative leave per department policy as the investigation continues.
