- Police released footage of two suspects who were involved in an armed robbery in May. The robbery resulted in the shooting of one person near Kyrene and Knox roads.

- Were your favorite restaurants cited in the latest round of inspections? Four restaurants in the Phoenix area were cited with four or more violations. The stomach-churning issues included raw chicken stored above water bottles, sensitive food items not being held at proper temperatures, and employees failing to wash their hands after handling raw foods.
