3 hard news leads turned into broadcast style

1a) The Police Department ousted its top leadership yesterday in the Central District, a move that comes amid violent attacks in the downtown area and one day after The Baltimore Sun reported that officers had failed to properly handle the robbery of a nanny in Bolton Hill.

Maj. John Bailey, a 35-year veteran, and his second in command, Deputy Maj. Avon Mackell, a 21-year veteran, were stripped of their command positions after what sources described as a particularly heated exchange with department leadership after a woman was choked and robbed of an iPod while she walked with a baby Monday afternoon.

1b) Sources say that Major John Bailey and Deputy Major Avon Mackell got fired for not successfully handling the attack of a woman in her apartment.

2a) Police have found the car belonging to a southern Maryland man who's accused of killing his wife, then telling police the couple had been carjacked.

2b) Police have found the car of the man who has been accused of killing his wife.

3a) It's still probably too early to tell if the Orioles will be serious players in the Miguel Angel Sano sweepstakes, but they appear to be at least considering it. Sano, a 16-year-old shortstop who will be one of the most coveted international free agents when the signing period begins on July 2, was part of a group of 40 players the Orioles worked out on Friday at their Dominican Republic baseball academy.

3b) Orioles consider 16-year-old shortstop as a possible player.
