The 6-year-old disappeared while walking to school alone for the first time.

I probably wouldn't have posted this except the story describes the accused as owners of The Pig Stand.
It's a restaurant I think. Although it's in Louisiana so who knows.

The man killed over the weekend outside a downtown area bar across the street from the Star's press building was trying to break up a fight.
The fight started because somebody didn't offer an apology, police say.

Station employees dogpiled on the guy and one employee, a retired Navy Seal, helped subdue the irate man who cut two employees with a knife during the brawl.

It's always a nice little surprise to find a parking meter with time still left on it.
But some rotten, no-good penny-pinching (UNPRINTABLE WORD) has come up with a way to put a stop to that.

I think this guy should roll the dice with a jury trial.
Might be pretty hard to find 12 people who would find him guilty.

Nope, just a burglar caught in a chimney.
They took him to the hospital first becase he was "coughing a lot."
