    SAGUACHE COUNTY, Colorado (KCNC) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking for help to identify a suspect who illegally killed a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Saguache County.

According to CPW, the sheep was shot once in the abdomen and left to rot 200 yards off CR 38FF in the Cabin Draw area along Middle Creek. District wildlife managers received a report alerting them to the poaching on Nov. 11. They determined the sheep was killed earlier that day.

“This bighorn was shot and left there with nothing removed from it,” said District Wildlife Manager William Miedema. “There is a single bighorn ram hunting license available in S-10 and neighboring S-55, but my legal hunter for this area had already harvested a ram this year, and the season dates were Sept. 2 through Oct. 2.”

CPW said that, in Colorado, illegal take of a bighorn sheep is a felony and is punishable with up to a $100,000 fine. It can also result in a lifetime suspension of hunting and fishing privileges. Miedema said that the sheep had a half-curl to its horns, which could result in additional fines in excess of $25,000.

Miedema asked anyone with information on who is responsible to contact him at (719) 850-6364 or make an anonymous report to Operation Game Thief.

“This is wanton waste. If somebody saw something or has any information that could help in this investigation, please reach out to help us protect our wildlife resources in our state,” Miedema requested.

    CASCADE, Wisconsin (WDJT) — Earlier Friday, Nov. 14, the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office responded to several reports about an explosion on Trio Lane around 1 p.m. Upon arrival, they found that an excavation crew ruptured a main natural gas line causing an explosion in the Town of Mitchell that could be heard and felt from miles away.

Four people were taken to the hospital with injuries and about 60 homes within 700 feet of the explosion had to be evacuated.

Cascade resident Vu Vang lives near where the explosion took place and was home when all of a sudden, he heard a loud boom.

“I looked up in front of the house, and I was like ‘oh my gosh there’s a huge black cloud,” said Vang, who provided video of the smoke from the explosion.

Wally Froh, a resident who has lived in the area for around 20 years, says when he heard he had to evacuate his home he immediately went to help his neighbor.

“I messaged my neighbor across the road and he’s disabled,” said Froh. “So, I had to go over there and open up the garage door for him and let him get his car out so he can leave.”

Froh told CBS 58 that the smell of gas was so strong that it made him feel sick, “I didn’t really think of it until I went outside and smelt the gas smell. I mean it was so strong it gave me a headache, and I could taste it in my mouth. I mean, I’ve never had a gas smell that strong.”

As of 5:30 p.m. Friday, law officials stated that the area has been safe to approach and continue an investigation.

The Sheriff’s Office state that 17 fire departments responded to the area and two homes were damaged.

The fire department is currently assessing gas levels of the homes in the area and providing ventilation.

Residents are slowly being allowed back into their homes and Trio Lane will remain closed as the investigation continues.

No further information is available at this time.

The American Red Cross of Wisconsin has set up a shelter for those displaced by the Trio Lane explosion at the Cascade Fire Department at 801 Madison Ave., in Cascade.

If you or someone has been impacted by the gas explosion you can contact 1-800-RED-CROSS for assistance.

    NEW YORK CITY, New York (WCBS) — A man who allegedly threatened to “shoot up” an Upper East Side hospital was fatally shot by New York City police officers Thursday evening.

Police said the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Elijah Brown, had no history of interactions with the NYPD before an encounter at Mount Sinai Medical Center led to a crime scene spanning nearly a dozen city blocks.

Surveillance video obtained by CBS News New York shows the suspect walking down Madison Avenue with what appears to be a gun in hand.

With their weapons drawn, officers start running after him.

A different angle shows the suspect turning around and appearing to raise his weapon at them. Police said the suspect fired first at the officers, forcing them to shoot back.

“The situation could have turned out differently,” NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said. “An individual walked into multiple locations with a gun, menaced multiple people with that gun, and then shot at our officers in the middle of a busy sidewalk with civilians in close proximity.”

Police said the crime spree started at around 7 p.m. inside a residential building on Madison Avenue on East 107th Street.

Police said Brown threatened a man at gunpoint in the elevator of his own apartment building. Brown got off the elevator on the first floor and left the building, police said.

“I never got into nothing with him, but I know something’s wrong – the way he moves,” a neighbor of Brown’s said.

A woman who wanted to remain anonymous said a security guard showed her surveillance video of Brown threatening the man in the elevator.

“The old man put his hand up to the gun, and I guess he was saying, ‘Don’t shoot me,'” she said.

Brown then went to a deli at Madison Avenue and East 107th Street, where police say he went behind the counter and pointed a gun at a deli worker.

The suspect allegedly told the deli worker, “Call 911. I’m going down to the hospital to shoot it up,” according to police.

Brown then stole the deli worker’s phone and left the deli, police said.

Deli worker Muhsin Alsadi said a cook and his teenage brother were working at the time.

“Thank God he was safe. All I thought about was that he was safe, and that was all,” he said.

Police said around 7:08 p.m., the suspect briefly entered Mount Sinai Medical Center, but then went back outside and placed a firearm on the ground next to a tree.

The suspect then went back inside the hospital, where he encountered an off-duty NYPD officer who was working a security detail, police said.

According to police, the suspect was acting disorderly and said he had a gun.

When the off-duty NYPD officer tried to escort him out, police said a struggle ensued.

“It was said that someone had a gun in the lobby,” pediatric emergency nurse Donovan James Carey said. “My first thought was just, I have to protect these kids. So we got everyone inside, and I held the door until we got a message that it was clear.”

Brown went back outside, picked the gun up and began walking southbound on Madison Avenue.

Police said the off-duty NYPD officer requested assistance, and responding officers spotted the armed suspect on Madison Avenue between East 96th and 95th streets.

According to police, as soon as the officers exited their vehicles, the suspect opened fire. Police said multiple bystanders who had just gotten off an MTA bus were nearby at the time.

“He was, like, near the bus stop, and then it was like a scuffle with someone else. And then all of a sudden, you just see a gun come out, and then, like, shooting,” witness Layla Helou said.

The officers returned fire, striking the suspect, police say. According to police sources, Brown was shot in the hip and chest.

Officers drove the suspect back to the same hospital he just threatened, where he was pronounced dead.

“We’re not even a trauma hospital, but every single nurse did everything that they could to save his life, no questions asked. And I think that speaks to the quality of character of the nurses, that we do our best for every single patient that comes through the doors, no matter what the situation is,” Carey said.

“Every day our officers put on their uniforms and they encounter dangerous situations across this city, but it’s another kind of danger when someone goes into a deli and a hospital with a gun and opens fire directly at the NYPD,” Rivera said. “This is the risk that every member of the NYPD faces every single day to keep this city safe.”

Police said no involved officers were injured, but they were taken to a local hospital for evaluation. No bystanders were hurt either, officials said.

A loaded gun was recovered at the scene, investigators said.
