This Week in MOCO ROOT
This week's local news was dominated by the aftermath of Election Day, with several key races still too close to call and thousands of ballots still to be counted. Meanwhile, a pair of violent incidents shook the community, with a fatal shooting in Rockville and a police officer being struck by a gun in Silver Spring. On a more positive note, the city of Rockville was designated as the county's first Bird City, and Montgomery County's new leadership team was announced, including County Executive-Elect Will Jawando and his transition team.
