Woman sues Kenbridge, police after chief allegedly tipped off shooting suspect The town of Kenbridge and its police department are facing a lawsuit of more than $140 million.

A womanโ€™s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her

Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.

She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.

Boyfriend opened fire on her car

We arenโ€™t angry enough.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

#Boulder, we have a fire south of Chautauqua, named #BluebellFire. Fire up your Watch Duty app. Low wind, but warm, so should be containable.
And we have an evac warning for SW Boulder.

A simple house shape is filled to the brim with flowers and plants. Inside a girl with dark pigtails and a brown hound dog are playing around among them. The puppy lies on the stem of a bellflower so his best friend can wear hold it above her head like a cool hat. The text above in a blue purple ink reads "Keep Minnesota Housed!" Below the house in gold ink reads "adopt a rent or donate". Below that "KeepMNhoused.com".

New York Mayor Mamdani is breaking his promise on library funding. Fitting that a few days after Valentineโ€™s Day, New Yorkers may be reaching the end of their Mamdani honeymoon. Earlier this week, the Mayor released his preliminary budget for the 2027 fiscal year,โ€ฆ

โ€œThe power of Mayor Mamdaniโ€™s candidacy + early tenure have been rooted in this communal rhetoric of a city that works for everyone. If NY is to be a model for the nation of how a progressive city can work, we canโ€™t neglect public librariesโ€ฆโ€

REQUEST: I am looking to speak to an avalanche expert for a story about the Castle Peak avalanche in California's Sierra Nevada. I am located a few miles from the incident location and am hoping to get some background information about avalanche danger.

Denver promised to expand and diversify its elite public arts school. It hasnโ€™t happened yet. A lack of funding and turnover at multiple levels have contributed to a retreat from a grander plan for Denver School of the Arts.

Denver School of the Arts is one of the most prestigious public conservatory arts schools in the country.

It also has a problem that itโ€™s been trying to solve since its founding 35 years ago: DSA is not very diverse.
