Police manhunt continues for suspect in Texas mass shooting

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:10:36 GMT

CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) — Law enforcement officers were going door-to-door Sunday searching for clues about a gunman who fled after killing five people in a rural Texas town after his neighbors asked him to stop firing off rounds in his yard.The alleged shooter, Francisco Oropesa, 38, was considered armed and dangerous after fleeing the area Friday, likely on foot, San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said late Saturday. He said authorities had widened the search to 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the scene of the shooting.Investigators found clothes and a phone while combing a rural area that includes dense layers of forest, but tracking dogs lost the scent, Capers said. Authorities were able to identify Oropesa by an identity card issued by Mexican authorities to citizens who reside outside the country, as well as doorbell camera footage. He said police have also interviewed the suspect's wife.Police recovered the AR-15-style rifle that Oropesa allegedly used in the shootings but au...

Butler, Heat start 2nd round with 108-101 win over Knicks

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:10:36 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Butler had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and the No. 8-seeded Miami Heat kept rolling after barely reaching the postseason, beating the New York Knicks 108-101 on Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.Gabe Vincent scored 20 points for the Heat, who became the sixth No. 8 seed to beat a No. 1 when they toppled Milwaukee in the first round and continue to look nothing like a team that needed to win a play-in game just to get the final postseason berth in the East.They averaged 124 points in that series behind Butler’s 37.6 per game, but they pulled this one out with old-fashioned defense and rebounding that has always worked so well before for them at this time of year.RJ Barrett scored 26 points and Jalen Brunson had 25 for the fifth-seeded Knicks, who are in the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2013. They started strong and led most of the first half, but the Heat eventually got the Madison Square Garden crowd quieter and...

Knicks collapse in second half, drop Game 1 to Heat 108-101

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:10:36 GMT

Jimmy Butler was on the court, writing in pain.There was about five minutes remaining in Sunday’s Game 1, and it felt, during that brief moment, that Butler’s badly twisted ankle shifted the game, perhaps the series, to the Knicks.Except it didn’t work out like that. At least not in Game 1. Butler never subbed out. He emerged out of the timeout to bury two free throws. He was clearly under physical distress, limping around the court down the stretch.But it was the Knicks who were shellshocked at MSG, not the Heat.In the two minutes following Butler’s injury, the Knicks were outscored, 9-2, and that stretch became the story of Miami’s 108-101 victory Sunday at MSG. Butler was nothing more than a decoy in the final minutes, standing around the perimeter while watching teammates Kyle Lowry, Gabe Vincent and Bam Adebayo bury the home team.Butler still finished with 25 points and 11 boards. The Knicks, playing without Julius Randle, had no rebuttal. They sho...

Beyonce petitions IRS to contest $2.7M back tax bill

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:10:36 GMT

After the Internal Revenue Service claimed Beyoncé owed nearly $2.7 million in back taxes from 2018 and 2019, she has now decided to file a petition disputing the claim.The 41-year-old music and fashion icon filed the petition in April, and has also requested a trial over the matter in Los Angeles, reports People. A potential date for the trial is unknown.The IRS originally dealt Beyoncé a Notice of Deficiency, which claimed she owed a total of $805,850 from 2018 and $1,442,747 from 2019, in addition to $449,719.40 in combined penalties from the two-year period.Beyoncé’s legal team is disputing at least $868,766 of that total, arguing that Bey had donated that amount to charity in 2018, and therefore it should have been counted as a deduction. The petition also agues that if there’s a deficiency in her payments, she “has acted reasonably and in good faith,” and should not be required to pay it.The Grammy winner has supported multiple charities over the course of her career, an...
