Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — A 13-year-old was shot early Thursday morning in a drive-by shooting in Aurora, prompting a conversation about youth violence in the Denver metro area this summerPolice say there was another drive-by shooting at the same home within the last two weeks and it's gang-related. But will more gunfire like this be on the horizon with young people this summer? Neighbors seek answers after police kill 14-year-old armed robbery suspect Local advocates like Jason McBride, a secondary youth violence prevention specialist with Struggle of Love Foundation, is fearful this could be the worst summer yet."We’re failing kids in every aspect of their lives," McBride said. Interim Aurora Police Chief Art Acevedo shared those concerns at a news conference about the shooting that injured the 13-year-old."I do share that concern. Will it be the worst? I hope not, but we are going to be hoping for the best, preparing for the worst, as a police department. I think our partners acro...

Cabrera fans 10 in 6 innings, Sánchez homers in Marlins’ 4-0 win over A’s

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Edward Cabrera struck out 10 in six innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Oakland Athletics 4-0 on Friday night.The 25-year-old Cabrera (4-4) gave up four hits and walked one. He had his second double-digit strikeout game of the season after fanning 12 against the Chicago Cubs on April 29.“The strikeouts are part of the game but what I felt very good about is I only gave up one walk,” Cabrera said. “When you attack the zone, not all the time they are not always going to turn out well, but a majority of the time they will.”JT Chargois, Andrew Nardi and Tanner Scott followed Cabrera, each throwing an inning to complete the five-hitter. Jesús Sánchez homered and singled twice, and Bryan De La Cruz had two hits.The major league-worst Athletics lost their 12th straight on the road to drop to 12-47 overall.Miami struck early on Sánchez’s two-run shot in the first. Sánchez drove the first pitch from Shintaro Fujinami into the Marlins’ bullpen in left field for his fourth home...

For Heat, the familiar challenge of navigating a rocky road awaits

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Udonis Haslem has been through almost everything in his 20 seasons with the Miami Heat. On that list: Game 1 losses in the NBA Finals.He’s seen lots of those — six of them, actually, in seven tries during his Heat career. Being down 1-0 in the finals against the Denver Nuggets is not optimal, but Haslem knows it doesn’t doom Miami’s chances, either. All three of his championship rings came in series where the Heat lost a finals opener.And that will be the message for three days, all the way until tip-off of Game 2 on Sunday night.“It can be done,” Haslem said.He’s right. And by now, the Heat have just come to expect that nothing they want will come easily.Virtually the entire season has been topsy-turvy for the Heat, and evidently, the jagged path is the one they’re going to take all the way to the end. A 104-93 loss in Game 1 on Thursday night came when Miami shot poorly, struggled big-time from 3-point range until a late flurry and shot only two free thro...

Justin Steele diagnosed with forearm strain, but the Chicago Cubs don’t anticipate an extended absence for the left-hander

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

Justin Steele appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario.The Chicago Cubs received good news from Steele’s MRI with the lefty’s diagnosis of a forearm strain. It’s still unclear whether he will miss any starts, but the team does not anticipate an extended absence.Steele is scheduled to play catch Saturday to test his forearm.”I’m expecting it to go just as normal as any other day of catch,” Steele said. “Everything’s headed in the right direction.”The Cubs will see how Steele’s forearm responds before determining if he needs to go on the 15-day injured list. He would likely miss two starts, though the Cubs potentially could limit Steele to one missed start by rearranging the rotation with an off day June 12 at the conclusion of their 10-game West Coast trip. It’s an encouraging outcome for the 27-year-old who exited his start Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays after three perfect innings because of forearm tightn...

By ASHOK SHARMA and KRUTIKA PATHI (Associated Press)NEW DELHI (AP) — Rescuers waded through piles of debris and wreckage to pull out bodies and free people after two passenger trains derailed Friday night in India, killing more than 230 people and leaving hundreds of others trapped inside more than a dozen mangled rail cars, in one of the country’s deadliest train crashes in decades.The accident, which happened about 220 kilometers (137 miles) southwest of Kolkata, led to a chaotic scene as rescuers climbed atop the wrecked trains to break open doors and windows using cutting torches to free survivors.About 900 people were injured in the accident in Balasore district in the eastern state of Odisha, said P.K. Jena, the state’s top administrative official. The cause was under investigation.Ten to 12 coaches of one train derailed, and debris from some of the mangled coaches fell onto a nearby track, said Amitabh Sharma, a railroad ministry spokesperson.The debris was ...

Minister ‘shocked’ at reports of Paul Bernardo being moved to medium-security prison

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

The federal public safety minister says reports of teen killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo being transferred to a medium-security prison are “shocking and incomprehensible.”Citing prison union officials and the lawyer for the victims’ families, multiple media outlets say Bernardo was quietly transferred earlier this week to the medium-security La Macaza Institution, about 190 kilometres northwest of Montreal.He was initially incarcerated at the Kingston Penitentiary in Ontario and later spent about a decade at the Millhaven Institution, a maximum security prison just outside Kingston.Bernardo has been serving a life sentence for kidnapping, torturing and killing 15-year-old Kristen French and 14-year-old Leslie Mahaffy in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ont.Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says he expects the Correctional Service of Canada to take a victim-centred and trauma-informed approach in such cases, and that he plans to address the decision process for t...

With baby on the way, Bassitt delivers gem to lift Blue Jays over former team

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

Last season, during a one-year layover with the New York Mets on his way to free agency, Chris Bassitt threw 181.2 innings of 3.42-ERA ball. He was dependable as all get-out, pitching into the sixth inning in 25 of his 30 outings and throwing a quality start two-thirds of the time he took the mound.Safe to say Bassitt has some pretty good memories of New York. But he has a couple of notably bad ones, too, in which his trademark mettle and dependability betrayed him.First, there was his final outing of the regular season, when Bassitt got only eight outs in a critical loss to the Atlanta Braves — a team that ultimately edged New York for the NL East title in a tiebreaker, forcing the Mets to play a three-game wild card series with the San Diego Padres.Then, there was Bassitt’s very next start — the decisive third game of that series with the Padres. Struggling at times to hear his PitchCom transmitter amidst cascading Citi Field crowd noise, Bassitt coughed up three earned runs over ...

US, allies clash with Russia, China over North Korea’s failed military spy satellite launch

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 10:13:14 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and its allies clashed with Russia and China on Friday over North Korea’s failed launch of a military spy satellite this week in violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, which Moscow and Beijing refused to condemn.The confrontation was the latest over the North’s escalating nuclear, ballistic missile and military programs, which U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood warned are threatening international peace and security. The failed launch “not only disrupted maritime and air traffic in the region, but it also caused alarm for its neighbors in Japan and the Republic of Korea,” he said.Pyongyang is threatening another launch soon.The Security Council imposed sanctions after North Korea’s first nuclear test explosion in 2006 and tightened them over the years in a total of 10 resolutions seeking — so far unsuccessfully — to rein in its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and cut off funding. In the last sanctions resolution adopte...
