Never Mind...

...about that Sun report claiming two 11-year-old boys were shot by pellet guns; the newspaper has since offered an update:

"Two 11-year-old Elkridge boys who reported that they were shot by a man with a pellet gun on their way to school last week lied about the attacks, Howard County police said yesterday.

"Police said they did not know what prompted the boys to fabricate the story. The boys admitted Monday night that the story was a hoax, police said."
