Arlington Schools Face Overcrowding: WAMU takes a look at rising enrollments in Arlington Public Schools.

Alcohol Deliveries May Begin in PG County: The Liquor Control Board in Prince George's County is considering a proposal to allow beer, wine, and liquor deliveries from local stores. This decision comes from recent laws Governor Martin O'Malley signed allowing direct shipments from wineries to Maryland homes. Ben Giles at the Washington Examiner writes, "the delivery of local alcohol could be the next logical step for liquor stores to follow suit." Public hearings on the issue will take place on June 28.

Northern Virginia College Student Killed: 20-year-old Christopher Cummings was shot and killed over the weekend near the campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk in an incident in which another student was also seriously wounded. Cummings is the nephew of Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings, WJLA reports. Norfolk police are investigating the case, but suspect it may be a "random attack."
