Good morning, Gaithersburg.

Gaithersburg police investigated a stabbing that occurred on August 2nd at about 7:20 p.m. at Lakeforest Transit Center on the 9600 block of Lost Knife Road—an adult male was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and the suspect fled before officers arrived—anyone with information is urged to contact the police.

Maryland is the only state that completely bans flamethrowers—residents cannot buy or own them.

Unlike other states that allow flamethrowers with permits, the law is set to stop potential safety risks—ensuring no legal way to access these devices.

Maryland restaurants will host Summer Restaurant Week from August 18th—24th with special prix fixe menus for lunch, brunch, and dinner that offer options to fit different budgets.

Diners are encouraged to make reservations soon as many spots fill quickly and some establishments will also offer cocktail pairings and to-go meals.
