QUESTION NO. 2:
On Monday, February 1, after a seven-day snow storm compiling
up to 18 inches of snow, Tyson took his daughter, Tiana, age 7, to
her elementary school in Baltimore City. Because of the number
of days that it snowed, the only areas that were plowed were the
roads, parking lots and some, but not all sidewalks. As did most
parents that drove their children to school, Tyson parked in the
school parking lot and walked Tiana to the school building using
the sidewalk. While walking Tiana on the sidewalk, she ran away
from him to play in the snow pile near the door’s entrance where
other students were playing and building snowmen. Tyson
chased after Tiana and slipped and fell on black ice on the
sidewalk, fracturing his hip.

QUESTION NO. 3:
On Saturday, August 20th, John and Jeff purchased a food truck
delivery truck for their recently started business from an auto
auction in Pennsylvania. The name of their business was AB’s
Food Delivery, Inc., which operates in Baltimore, Maryland. The
truck was an older model white truck with no markings on the
side; and because they just purchased the vehicle, they only had
temporary tags. While driving from Pennsylvania to Maryland,
it started to rain heavily and they were forced to the side of a
road near Hunt Valley, Maryland because the windshield wipers
on the van were inoperable. Thus, John and Jeff sat in the van
waiting for the rain to cease. About 30 minutes prior to John and
Jeff pulling over, an older white van that was reported stolen was
used in an armed robbery of a bank in Baltimore, Maryland.
There were 4 masked men involved in the robbery and during the
escape from the bank, the armed security guard was shot in the
head by the robbers. The white van was reported as last being
seen headed north towards Pennsylvania. A dispatch was sent
to all law enforcement officers. Officer Johnson received the
dispatch and he, as were all other officers, were on the lookout
for a white van with 4 masked men. While driving in the heavy
rain, Officer Johnson observed the white van that John and Jeff
were in pulled over on the side of the road. Officer Johnson
initially drove by the vehicle and attempted to look into the
vehicle and saw two people not wearing masks sitting in the front
two seats. Officer Johnson could see nothing else. Officer
Johnson circled back and pulled up about 50 feet behind the van.
John and Jeff did not see Officer Johnson pull up behind them.
In fact, both John and Jeff had fallen asleep in the van. Officer
Johnson called for back-up officers by stating “possible suspect
van” located; and then approached the van. When Officer
Johnson walked up to the passenger’s side of the window, he
tapped on the passenger’s side window with his gun drawn,
which startled John, who was seated in the passenger seat.
Officer Johnson instructed John to step out of the vehicle with
his hands up, which John did. Officer Johnson then instructed
conducted a pat-down of John for weapons and found nothing
but about $5000,00 in cash rolled up in John’s back pocket in a
rubber band. Officer Johnson then instructed Jeff to step across
the passenger’s side of the vehicle to exit on the passenger’s side
of the van. As Officer Johnson was instructing Jeff to exit,
Officer Arrington pulled up and observed Officer Johnson
instructing Jeff to exit. Officer Arrington pulled his weapon out
and approached the location where Jeff was exiting the van. As
Jeff was exiting the van, he tripped over a tool in the passenger
side and fell forward towards Officer Johnson. Officer Arrington
immediately shot Jeff five times in the chest. Jeff died instantly.
