Firefighters responded just after 3:30 p.m. to the 3300 block of Keswick Road in North Baltimore for a fire in a three-story commercial building.

Fire officials said there were no injuries. Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. emergency crews were also on the scene.

Keswick Road will remain closed between 33rd and 34th streets throughout Tuesday morning, according to the Baltimore City Department of Transportation.

The historic building near the corner of 34th Street and Keswick Road, known as “The Castle,” is the former site of the city’s Northern District Police Station. The Victorian/French Renaissance structure dates to 1899 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen described the fire as “pretty serious” during a council meeting Monday night.

The blaze was contained to the third floor, Baltimore City Fire Department spokesperson John Marsh said Monday night. Because it is a historic building, fire crews set up a collapse zone to avoid any further damage or any potential injuries.

The roof of the building appeared to have extensive damage.

“We had heavy winds, and that was one of the challenges and the height of the building,” Marsh said, adding that crews were creating an area to reduce the chance of winds spreading the fire.

Teena Breanne said she had just left Flora Salon, a business housed in a building adjacent to The Castle, with her coworkers when they received news of the fire.

“We had just left to go to a happy hour, and the property manager had called and told us there was a fire,” Breanne said on Monday night from the scene, where she said she had been watching fire crews work for at least an hour.

Amy Petkovsek, executive director of Community Law Center, which is housed on the second floor of the building, said her staff evacuated the building when they heard the fire alarm Monday.

She said some employees of the nonprofit were waiting for transportation since some had vehicles in a parking lot connected to the building.

“We’re looking forward to working with the community to rebuild our office and our client files and support our team,” Petkovsek said about the center, which provides free legal help for neighborhoods.

Marsh said the blaze did not spread to nearby buildings. He said the cause is under investigation.

The cutback stands to impact thousands of flights nationwide because the FAA directs more than 44,000 flights daily. The agency said the restrictions would remain in place as long as necessary.

Here are five things travelers need to know.

Why is this happening?

The government shutdown has had broad affect on many aspects of federal governance but particularly on staffing, which has impaired the ability of U.S. airports to maintain operations. Air traffic controllers and airport security workers are not receiving pay but are required to continue working as essential employees; however, some have taken second jobs or called out sick in large numbers. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said its members missed their first full paychecks last week. Some airlines, including United, Delta and American, reported donating meals to feed federal workers at airports across the country.

Is BWI Marshall Airport on the list of airports?

When will changes start?

The reduction in capacity will begin Friday, according to the FAA. The 10% reduction likely will not happen all at once but be phased in over a week or more, sources familiar with the FAA plan told CBS News. Airline schedules are complicated and include positioning planes and crew for flights. So it could be difficult to make immediate changes. Travelers should expect delays and arrive two hours before their scheduled flights, according to BWI.

Can I cancel my flight?

Probably. If you have a flight scheduled in the next 10 days, contact your carrier right away. Airlines are eager to help travelers avoid the chaotic situation that is likely to unfold at U.S. airports. Some, like United, are offering refunds to customers — even if your ticket is technically nonrefundable. Southwest Airlines, the largest carrier at BWI, said Thursday that customers booked through Nov. 12 may change their travel at no cost or request a refund, regardless of whether their flight is affected by the reductions. A spokesperson for United said that international flights would not be affected.

What will this mean for Thanksgiving travel?

It’s too soon to know. If the government shutdown continues to drag on, it’s very likely that Thanksgiving travel will be more challenging than usual. Airports were already dealing with delays related to the shutdown, and after implementing reduced capacity levels, it could be difficult to reset for holiday travelers. DOT officials also said the shutdown was interfering with recruitment and training of new airport workers and air traffic controllers, so staffing could continue to be an issue. Long story short: Expect the best; prepare for the worst.

The roadway was closed throughout the afternoon throughout the night, DOT said. As of 11 p.m. Monday night, the sinkhole was still being repaired and a portion of the road remained closed. The roadway is open as of Tuesday morning.

Key Highway was closed in both directions between Covington and East Cross streets, the DOT said in a news release. Northbound traffic was shifted onto East Cross Street, while eastbound and southbound traffic took Covington Street.

The MTA said bus route 71, from downtown to Patapsco Station, was detoured until the road reopened.

Last month, a driver’s pickup truck was trapped by a sinkhole in North Baltimore, near West Highfield Road and North Charles Street. The vehicle submerged into a 4-by-4-foot hole caused by a water main break, according to Baltimore Department of Public Works.

The quake struck at 5:17 p.m. USGS coordinates placed its origin at Hopewell Park on Rustling Leaf, which is just south of Lake Elkhorn in the Owen Brown neighborhood, north of Snowden River Parkway. The depth of the temblor was reported to be about 5 miles, making it a fairly shallow shaker.

But residents in Columbia were alarmed. The shaking about 2 1/2 miles west in the Clemens Crossing neighborhood in Hickory Ridge in West Columbia sent many neighbors out onto the street to see what had just happened. But nothing seemed amiss, according to one resident.

As of Monday afternoon, more than 80 people had submitted reports to the USGS website confirming that they felt the shaking.

Howard County Fire and EMS said on the social media platform X that as of 6 p.m. there were no reports of significant damage or any injuries.

That shaking/rattling you felt around 5:17 p.m.? It was a small earthquake, according to @USGS_Quakes: https://t.co/DQKq1oYhuq

He co-hosted the most recent season of “Project Runway” with style icon and model Heidi Klum. And he has a boatload of famous fashion fans, including Cardi B., Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey and even Zendaya.

But last week, Siriano stitched up his Hollywood bonafides with the sartorial patronage of another global megastar.

Beyoncé.

Siriano revealed on social media that the superstar entertainer recently wore a stylish piece from his new collection. “Well when @Beyonce is one of the first to wear the new collection I guess we did something right! So chic in a Siriano black corseted velvet gown,” he wrote.

Fashion insiders identified the gown as “Look 53” from the designer’s Spring/Summer 2026 lineup. And while the look won’t break your soul, it may break the bank: A quick search of Siriano’s collection shows the dress retails for just under $6,000.

The occasion for Beyoncé’s look was a lavish party for the 100th birthday of hip-hop mogul Jay-Z’s grandmother, Hattie White. The couple attended the black-tie event in New York City last week, which included a performance by Stevie Wonder, according to reports of the private celebration.

No need to feel left out. With a required 6 to 8-week pre-order, Siriano’s glam gown should arrive just in time for your own New Year’s Eve fete.

The events surrounding the 1990s cheating scandal have resurfaced decades later to embroil a former midshipman. The military records of Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Navy midshipman then and now a New Jersey gubernatorial candidate, were released by the National Archives in what Rep. Robert Garcia called an “illegal and likely politically motivated disclosure,” according to Politico.

Garcia, a California Democrat and ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, on Thursday called for an investigation into the release that appeared to implicate Sherrill in the academy cheating debacle.

Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot, told The New Jersey Globe that she was not allowed to walk with her midshipmen mates at her 1994 graduation because she “didn’t turn in some of my classmates” during the cheating scandal.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in a post to the social media platform X on Thursday that the leak of Sherrill’s unredacted military records was “a betrayal of everyone who’s ever worn the uniform.”

Here are five things to know about one of the biggest scandals in recent history to unfold at the Naval Academy.

Someone got a master copy of an exam

A midshipman apparently obtained a master copy of an exam for Electrical Engineering 311 at least three days before it was given Dec. 14, 1992, The Baltimore Sun reported. Academy sources said copies of the test were sold in Bancroft Hall, the dormitory that housed some 4,000 midshipmen at the time. Faculty were blamed for not following proper procedures in duplicating the exam, including a requirement for signatures to pick up exam copies from the copy center.

Dozens of midshipmen were involved

Some 700 juniors took the exam for the mandatory engineering course known as “wires.” But more than 130 midshipmen “were implicated by the Navy’s inspector general in the theft and distribution of the exam,” The Sun reported, and of those, about 80 admitted to cheating. Yet only 29 were recommended for expulsion. Despite the widespread cheating, a new test was not administered, according to The Sun.

Cheating was a big deal for military academies

The Naval Academy honor code commands that midshipmen should not “lie, cheat or steal.” Cheating was viewed as one of the most serious offenses because it “strikes at the heart of the academy’s mission” and because it showed a lack of discipline expected of Naval officers, according to The Sun. And it had happened before. In 1974, another major cheating scandal occurred at the academy when more than 50 midshipmen were implicated in the use of “crib sheets” in an exam for a navigation course.

Only a few midshipmen were punished

The midshipman who was identified as the supplier of the stolen exam was cleared after a witness refused to testify against him to the honor board. The witness said his lawyer advised him to stand by his brigade. He also claimed he was offered a $15,000 bribe to resign, The Sun reported. Six midshipmen along with the reluctant witness were convicted of honor violations. Four of the original 28 cases were later dismissed for insufficient evidence. An advisory board, at the time, recommended an extensive overhaul of the midshipmen’s honor code.

An admiral lost his job at the Naval Academy

Rear Adm. Thomas C. Lynch was reassigned to a post at the Pentagon after he presided over the Naval Academy during the cheating scandal. “Arriving at the academy in June 1991, Lynch was viewed as a ‘Mr. Fix-It’ in the wake of another scandal,” The Sun reported, involving a female sophomore “who had been handcuffed to a urinal and jeered by male classmates.” However, faculty and alumni were critical of the admiral, charging that he mishandled the initial probe of the cheating charges. Navy tradition holds that the ultimate responsibility for wrongdoing lies with the senior officer in command.

The Trump administration’s leaking of @MikieSherrill’s unredacted military records isn’t just a violation of privacy – it’s a betrayal of everyone who’s ever worn the uniform.

Mikie’s a Navy vet, a prosecutor, and a fearless public servant. She’s the fighter New Jersey needs,… https://t.co/TKu4O2ZEYv

Swift, appearing Wednesday on New Heights, the podcast hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, said that she made “cherished memories” in Baltimore when she visited last January to watch Travis and the Chiefs take on the Ravens in the AFC championship game.

“What is your welcome to the NFL moment?” Jason Kelce, a Super Bowl champion who played 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, asked Swift, who thought about it for mere seconds.

“I’d say it was the first time I stepped on the field, when he won the AFC Championship,” she said, just as Travis chimed in: “Baltimore.”

Describing her excitement about the game, which her boyfriend’s Chiefs won, Swift said she was surprised when Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, said they were leaving their suite to go down to the field for the celebration.

“Did he say that’s OK? … Is he gonna be like ‘what are you doing down here dude?’” Swift asked his mom, who assured her that Travis would want her there on the field.

Travis said he didn’t want to jinx a win, so the couple never discussed what would happen if his team won.

Swift, who also announced her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl” on the podcast, said that moment was “euphoric.”

“So I’m walking out on this field and it’s like ‘Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,’” Swift explained. “There’s so many lights. I’ve never seen this many cameras. I’ve never seen this much media in my life and I’ve seen a lot of media.”

“It’s one of my most cherished memories because I was so proud of you,” Swift told Travis.

“It was so magical,” she said, later adding “I had such a good rookie year. It was crazy.”

The brother, 26, was taken to Shock Trauma and is in critical condition, police said.

A police spokesperson, providing a briefing at a news conference, described confrontations that took place at two separate locations Monday evening.

Police were called around 7:24 p.m. to the 9200 block of Wilbur Court for a report of a stabbing. Police said the caller was the 26-year-old brother, who reported being stabbed many times by his younger brother who had fled the home, said Sherry Llewellyn, Howard County Police director of public affairs.

Two minutes later, Llewellyn said, police received a 911 call from the 23-year-old man, who said he had just stabbed his brother.

The man was at Oakland Mills Road near Carters Lane, and when an officer arrived at the scene, police said, the man was armed with a large, double-edged spear.

“Witnesses reported that the man started to come at the officer, toward the officer with the spear, the officer drew his weapon, stepped back multiple times, directed for the suspect to drop the spear. The suspect didn’t comply, and the officer was forced to fire his weapon,” Llewellyn said.

The man was pronounced dead on the scene, according to police.

Llewellyn said she did not know how many times the 23-year-old had been shot or how many times his brother had been stabbed. Police believe the spear was the stabbing weapon, she said.

She said a medical examiner would provide those answers.

The Independent Investigations Division of the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, tasked with examining fatal police encounters or those with injuries that might result in death, will be handling the investigation, Llewellyn said.
