In just the first 9 days of 2009, now we're up to 11 homicides:
(AP) -- Baltimore County police have released the name of a woman who was fatally wounded by gunfire while speaking with family members outside her home in Middle River.
Police say officers responding to a report of a shooting Wednesday evening found 58-year-old Shirley Worcester on the ground outside the home on Whitethorn Way in the Hawthorne neighborhood. She died a short time later at Franklin Square Hospital Center. Police believe Worcester may have been struck by gunfire intended for someone else.
