Hours Long Standoff Ends
It began as a shoplifting incident at a Dallas Walmart. An off duty officer was working as a security guard at the Walmart on St. Francis and Buckner, when he apprehended a suspect whom he believes to be shoplifting. This is when a small dispute began, and the suspect attempted to steal the officers gun.…… MORE
Marna Davis 3/31/16: We Never Would
On March 15th I was assigned to cover the story of Fort Worth Police Officer Matt Pearce, who had been shot several times. I went to JPS hospital for a news conference with Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald to update everyone on Officer Pearce’s condition.

Sam Putney 3/29/16; The Most Superficial Trait that can keep You out of the White House
Remember when Donald Trump asked on camera could anybody imagine a “face like that” in the Oval Office, referring to Carly Fiorina? Well, that may very well may have resonated more than we know with voters. Looking back on the election in 2008, along with the use of social media, Barack Obama may only be…… MORE

Plenty of Fish? Are there really? I’m in my 30s, and about to enter the dating scene soon for the first time since I was a teenager. A friend of mine signed me up on a dating site and remind me to NOT thank her. After about 2 hours of having my profile active, there…… MORE
Amy Chodroff 03/18/16; My Digital Vacation
I was not only on Spring break last week, but I also took a digital holiday as well. I went on a cruise with my family and instead of paying .79 cents a minute for internet access on the ship I turned off my phone. I figured if someone really needed to reach me, they…… MORE
Robbie Hoy 3/10/16; Are you ready for the next storm?
It’s already been a busy storm season. First, we had the December 26th tornadoes where 13 people died and that’s not even considered storm season. This past Tuesday, Tornadoes hit the towns of Cool, Stephenville and Tolar. I was in Tolar and saw the destruction. Five of twelve mobile homes destroyed, lives torn apart, children…… MORE
Marlee McCormick 3/3/16; This warm weather is messing with my routine!
Can this winter’s weather be any more unpredictable? It really has me messed up on what I like to do. For example, I love to wear boots and sweaters…in fact my winter weather wardrobe is so much better than my summer clothes! And ladies, unless you’re Michelle Obama, the older we get the longer the sleeves get…am…… MORE
Kristin Thrower 2/11/16; Tornado Damage and Me
If you’ve ever been victim to a disaster, natural or otherwise, you know that the word “recovery” is easy to say, but much more difficult to get through. A tornado hit my life – literally and figuratively. An actual tornado hit my actual house, and in more abstract parts of my life, everything else is…… MORE
