Bel Air Resident Mourns the Loss of His Brother in Maine Shooting
Ralph Wellman Brewer, a resident of Bel Air, is devastated by the tragic shooting incident that claimed the life of his brother, Peyton Brewer-Ross, in Lewiston, Maine. Peyton was one of the victims shot by gunman Robert Card on October 25.
Peyton Brewer-Ross, an avid cornhole player was tragically killed in a mass shooting at Schemengees Bar and Grill in Lewiston, Maine. The horrifying incident resulted in a total of 18 casualties, with 8 people killed at the scene, 7 at a nearby bowling alley, and 3 at a local hospital. Another 13 people were injured.
It is believed that he was directly in front of the gunman as the shooting occurred, leaving him with no chance to escape. The shooter, Robert Card, who was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot, was an Army reservist and firearms instructor. It was later discovered that Card had reported having mental health issues.
Brewer-Ross is survived by his fiance and their 2-year-old daughter, and his family is now preparing for a funeral and celebration of life. Despite the grief, those who knew Brewer-Ross remember him as the life of the party.
The community is devastated by the senseless act of violence that has claimed so many lives and left countless others injured. The memory of Peyton Brewer-Ross will forever be cherished by his loved ones, who hope to find solace and healing in the midst of this tragedy.

Baltimore Grinds Out Victory Against Arizona
The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-24 in a game where their defense shined. The Ravens scored their first touchdown early in the game, but struggled offensively for the rest of the match. Quarterback Lamar Jackson was limited in his scrambling ability, and the team finished with only 268 total yards.
However, the Ravens' defense stepped up, forcing two interceptions and a fumble, while sacking Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs four times. Despite a late rally from the Cardinals, the Ravens held on to secure their third consecutive win.
