Police: 8 people, including girl, wounded in 2 DC shootings

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:11:19 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two shootings in Washington, D.C., on Friday night resulted in eight people, including a young girl, suffering injuries, the Metropolitan Police Department said.There were no fatalities in the two shootings, which police said could be related because they occurred in the same area of the city in a short time frame.About 10 p.m. police responded to reports of shots fired on Lebaum Street and found seven men who suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening, Assistant Chief of Patrol Services South Andre Wright said in a news conference at the scene.Most of the victims took themselves to hospitals, Wright said.“There was some chaos, obviously, because of the number of victims and the loved ones,” he said.While officers were on Lebaum Street, police received a report of a shooting on 2nd Street, where they found a 12-year-old girl who had suffered “a gunshot wound to her lower extremities,” Wright said, adding that the injury was not life-threatening.Police w...

Identity-less Timberwolves fall into 3-0 hole after Game 3 loss to Nuggets

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:11:19 GMT

The NBA’s regular season reveals more than most recognize. Over the course of 82 games, identities crystallize.Denver established one — a fine-tuned machine centered on two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, who’s armed with a couple elite scorers and a host of role players who perfectly balance out the team’s general skillset. The Nuggets made a few key offseason additions last summer to fortify their defense, but the core has been set for years and has built a profound understanding of how to execute in the most critical moments.Minnesota’s identity is that it doesn’t have one. What the Timberwolves excelled at or relied upon changed numerous times over the months, and the results fluctuated accordingly.“We’ve struggled with a consistent identity all year, whether it’s been two bigs, or a small lineup, or Rudy only or whatever,” Finch said. “We obviously aren’t there yet.”So when times got tough or tense, Minnesota had nothi...

Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic on Game 3 win over Timberwolves: “We didn’t want to give them life”

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 04:11:19 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS – Nikola Jokic slapped himself eight times, smacking his biceps and ribs as if the Macarena had only recently reached Serbia.In a 120-111 Game 3 victory that featured a glaring 35-13 free-throw disparity in favor of the Timberwolves, Jokic was tired of being beaten like a punching bag. Rarely, if ever, has he been so outright demonstrative and disrespectful to officials.But Friday night’s Game 3, with a chance to seize a commanding 3-0 lead over Minnesota, warranted such overt gesticulations.“If something is obvious, I just like to say it’s obvious,” Jokic said delicately, after polishing off a 20-point, 12-assist, 11-rebound triple-double that featured no trips to the free-throw line.Assessing Jokic’s night, Nuggets coach Michael Malone formed a zero with his fingers and peered through the hole to represent his astonishment at the unique feat.But Jokic doesn’t show up the officials, risking his reputation and a technical foul, if he and the Nuggets didn’t intend to crus...
