Less than an hour into 2009, a man lay bleeding on the cold ground in East Baltimore. Police took 2 men into custody. “I thought somebody was shooting for the New Year,” said resident Barbara Lee. Stunned neighbors peaked outside to see the chaos. Police said Mario Williams of Baltimore County, who just turned 31 years old on Christmas Day, got into an argument with a drunk bar manager inside Rumors at N. Luzerne Avenue and E. Monument Street. When the fight spilled outside, Police said someone in the crowd pulled out a gun and shot him. Phil Abdelrahaman said though Rumors is a trouble spot, he's owned his candy shop on Monument St. 3 years now with no issues. “I think most the problem when people come from outside not people in the neighborhood."
