By HANNA ARHIROVA (Associated Press)KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian authorities on Wednesday arrested a man they accused of helping Russia direct a missile strike that killed at least 11 people, including three teenagers, at a popular pizza restaurant in eastern Ukraine.The Tuesday evening attack on Kramatorsk wounded 61 other people, Ukraine’s National Police said. It was the latest bombardment of a Ukrainian city, a tactic Russia has used heavily in the 16-month-old war.The strike, and others across Ukraine late Tuesday and early Wednesday, indicated that the Kremlin is not easing its aerial onslaught, despite political and military turmoil at home after a short-lived armed uprising in Russia last weekend.There has been no apparent military push by Ukraine to exploit that turmoil, though the government has been tight-lipped about recent battlefield developments as it seeks to gain momentum in its recently launched counteroffensive.The Kremlin reeled from the weekend mut...

CHICAGO — More than 10,500 asylum-seeking migrants have arrived in Chicago since the end of August 2022, pushing the city’s shelter system to its limits and forcing officials to produce solutions for temporary housing.“While this is a mess none of us created, we have the responsibility of helping people and that’s what we do in Chicago,” 20th Ward Ald. Jeanette Taylor said. MORE STORIES: From the Border to Chicago As migrants seeking asylum have arrived by bus and other means of transportation to Chicago, many have found their beds to be the crowded floor of a police station lobby, only putting an even greater spotlight on the crisis. Police sources told WGN-TV at one point in late May, more than 760 migrants were calling police station lobbies their temporary home.“They're being sold a dream and then when they get here the dream is devastated because they don't have anywhere for them to go,” said Genora Stone, a resident living in the city’s Woodlawn neighborhood. “I think i...

Hennepin County prosecutors on Tuesday charged a former worker at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with secretly recording videos of others inside restrooms.Michael Lamar Maceda-Tapia, 36, is facing 11 gross misdemeanor counts of interference with privacy.Prosecutors allege in a criminal complaint that on Feb. 16, a worker who was about to use an employee restroom on the lower level of the E concourse spotted a cell phone under the stall. He alerted airport police after spotting the same phone in another stall that was “pointed in his direction.”After police detained Maceda-Tapia, he allegedly admitted to officers that he’d been recording surreptitious videos in employee restrooms for several months.Detectives obtained a search warrant for Maceda-Tapia’s phone, and according to the complaint, found 143 videos that appeared to have been recorded in airport bathrooms, including two taken in a public restroom on the E concourse.Investigators identified at least 10 alleg...

Wild take Rosemount native Charlie Stramel in first round of 2023 NHL Draft

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:53:22 GMT

NASHVILLE — After waiting at the mercy of other teams for a couple of hours on Wednesday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, the Wild wasted very little time once they were finally on the clock. They proudly selected Rosemount native Charlie Stramel with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, and with that, continued to bolster an already deep prospect pool.The most important thing to know about Stramel is that he plays center. That’s long been a position of need for the Wild and they clearly feel like the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Stramel can help them up the middle. He currently plays for the University of Wisconsin and finished his freshman campaign with 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in 33 games.Though he won’t contribute for the Wild any time soon, it’s reasonable to think Stramel could make an impact down the road.To the surprise of absolutely nobody, future superstar Connor Bedard went No. 1 overall to the Chicago Blackhawks. Yes, that means the...

Ross Colton talks trade to Avalanche, pending contract situation, favorite moments with Lightning

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:53:22 GMT

Ross Colton went to certain lengths to prepare himself for the moment, but it still inevitably hit him with a wall of emotion.He had just gotten to the gym for a Wednesday morning workout in New Jersey and was “sitting on a turf, rolling out,” when the phone rang. It was Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois.“These last couple of days, I’m not gonna lie, have been going by pretty slow,” Colton told The Denver Post. “I never keep my ringer on, but the last three days I had it on, turned up. So when I’m texting, people were mad that I was being obnoxious. But I was just getting nervous waiting for the call.”During his exit interview with Tampa after the season, there wasn’t much talk about next year. “It was said that this is a business, and next year is kind of up in the air,” recalled Colton, a restricted free agent. “So once that was said, I kind of had an idea I was going to be moved.” He just didn’...

Keeler: Nuggets dynasty? For ex-CU Buffs star Derrick White, that would be awesome. Slightly painful. But awesome. “Everybody’s got to hunt them down.”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:53:22 GMT

PARKER — While the 16-year-old inside Derrick White was all shook up, the 28-year-old Boston Celtic on the outside was tempted to pull an Elvis on his television set.“I mean, it was tough to watch,” White, the former CU Buffs and Legend High star told me during a break at his Derrick White Academy basketball youth camp Wednesday at Parker Fieldhouse. “I watched Game 5 (of the NBA Finals). That was the only one I watched.”On this much, all the voices inside White’s head agree. The Nuggets haven’t just set the bar for the rest of the NBA. They are the bar. With or without free-agent super sub Bruce Brown riding shotgun.“I don’t know about favorites or not. That’s out of my pay range,” White laughed. “But they were the best team last year. They did what they needed to do. And everybody’s now got to hunt them down.”If Boston’s Jayson Tatum doesn’t roll his ankle in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, what the hey? Maybe somebody else is king...
