TRUE CRIME

Two suspects walked up to the Sonic at Audelia and Royal around 11:15 p.m. on March 5 and proceeded to shoot a female employee who was sweeping outside. According to reports, the shooting was part of an attempted robbery. No word yet on whether the suspects actually stole anything before making their escape. They had not been apprehended and police were still reviewing surveillance video at time of press. Sonic closed early the day after the shooting, so its manager could chat with her team — especially those working the night shift — about safety. Thankfully, the injured employee was released from the hospital shortly after the incident.

Police and federal marshals were attempting to execute a warrant arrest last month at the Sunset Terrace apartments when they heard a single gunshot. Officials immediately began evacuating adjacent apartments and called in the Dallas SWAT team for backup. Two hours later a man was found dead from a bullet wound. Initial reports suggest it was self inflicted. As for the warrant that brought the police to the complex to begin with, it was being issued to Robert James Covington, 32, of Omaha, Neb. Covington was wanted for assault and weapons charges after he allegedly pulled out a gun and began shooting up a gas station, critically wounding one clerk.
