Fireworks started to go off as firefighters fought the initial blaze, said Wichita Fire Department Battalion Chief Jose Ocadiz.Neighbor Craig Hubbard described hearing a series of explosions. He caught one of the blasts on video. "I just heard a huge explosion, like a bomb going off, and it rattled like the windows," he said.

'Justice delayed': Hays County has backlog of 5,000+ unfiled criminal cases

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:11:01 GMT

HAYS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — Newly elected Hays County District Attorney Kelly Higgins said they are dealing with a backlog of more than 5,000 unfiled criminal cases. He said some of those cases date back to the second half of 2021."From, you know, murderers, to smoking a joint, right, I mean, the whole range," Higgins said. How did we get here?Higgins said the cases were so backed up because of the office's intake process from previous administrations. "There's either a warrant or a field arrest without a warrant made, and then a police officer will write a report about that and forward that report to our office. And that's our first look at any case," he said. Higgins said intake coordinators will then look at the case, create a file and start filling it with information a lawyer might want to determine what to do with that case. However, he said they were spending too much time processing information in a way that was "duplicative, redundant and unhelpful." RELATED COVERAGE: 83...

Wild winger Mason Shaw is nominee for Masterton Trophy

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:11:01 GMT

Mason Shaw knew as soon as it happened. He hit a rut in the ice last weekend in Las Vegas and immediately crumbled. The feeling was far too familiar as he struggled to his skates.“Just tried to change my direction,” he said. “It felt like everything in my knee exploded.”Less than 48 hours after he needed to be helped down the tunnel from the rink, the Wild announced last week that Shaw had indeed torn his anterior cruciate ligament. He will have reconstructive surgery later this week, and with that, will start the lengthy recovery process once again.“Not where I thought I was going to be,” Shaw said with a dejected look on his face. “It’s the hand I’ve been dealt, so it’s time to play those cards, I guess.”It’s a brutal blow for Shaw considering everything he has been through to get to this point. He has now torn the ACL in his left knee twice and his right knee twice, and while that might be enough to break the average person, S...

Nathan MacKinnon’s best season? Even before 100 points, Avalanche star’s friend Sidney Crosby thought it’s “pretty close to the best I’ve seen him play.”

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:11:01 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Mikko Rantanen contemplated the prompt. He didn’t have a search engine or a stat sheet in front of him to consult. His answer would be based more on feel, from years of memories playing alongside his linemate.The prompt: Sidney Crosby had recently suggested the 2022-23 season might be Nathan MacKinnon’s best. What say you, Moose?“Obviously he’s had really good years,” Rantanen said. “I remember that 19-20 season. He was electric. The shortened season. He probably would have had 120 (points) that year maybe, if we played all the games.“But it’s kind of his standard. Every year, you kind of think, ‘Is this his best year?’ again.”MacKinnon is gearing up for his seventh playoff run with the Avalanche, but this time he has a regular-season monkey off his back. The franchise center reached 100 points for the first time in his 10-year career Tuesday in San Jose.“I’m just happy that I got it ou...
