A Brookland man was fatally shot during a robbery of the neighborhood shop where he worked with his wife and son.

Raj Patel was killed by a gunman who burst into the Newton Foodmart and fled with cash, the Washington Post reports.

Patel and his family had managed the store for a few years and were known by fellow shopkeepers and customers in the area, the Post reports.

"When our freezer broke down, we used his," Craig Graves, manager of a Pizzeria Boli that's not far from Patel's store, told the Post. "When we needed a handtruck to unload, he lent us his. It was more than a convenience store. When we went in there, he'd actually speak to us."

TBD DOES NOT REMEMBER THIS HAPPENING IN 'BAMBI'

Two men who rescued a deer from an icy Maryland river have been fined, the Baltimore Sun reports.

The men told responders on the scene that they would pluck the deer from the Patapsco River on Thursday, according to the Sun. Authorities were debating how to free the deer when the men decided to act on their own.

"The Fire Department was kind of game-planning what they would do," Sgt. Brian Albert, of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police, told the Sun. "With Natural Resources Police, we will attempt, but we are not going to risk a human life for a deer life, as cruel as that may sound. … I'm as sympathetic as the next person on that deer being in the water, but when you weigh the risk to the reward, I would probably decide not to try to rescue that deer."

The rescuers were fined because the boat they used to rescue the deer didn't have life vests.
