Here are the top three stories in Phoenix today:
- After a three-day manhunt, Phoenix police finally caught Nicholas Cowan, the man suspected of shooting and injuring a Phoenix police officer at a gas station in Phoenix on Thursday. Cowan was found in a rental property in Scottsdale, where he's accused of engaging in a standoff with police for several hours on Sunday, prior to his arrest. (Phoenix Patch)
- On Saturday, Phoenix Fire Department rescued five dogs from a burning house in west Phoenix. Firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the home near 75th Avenue and Indian School Road. Everyone from inside of the house got out safely with no reported injuries and crews were able to knock down the fast-moving attic fire. A crisis response team was on-site to assist the three displaced individuals. (Arizona's Family)
- After a 2019 fire halted St. Joseph Catholic Church's services, the Phoenix congregation celebrated this Easter Sunday Mass in a newly constructed Church. Throughout the last two years, the church held Easter Mass and other services in a temporary space while the COVID-19 pandemic and guidelines restricted large gatherings. The church had to be built entirely from scratch after flammable materials left in a trash bin caused them to spontaneously combust. Funding efforts are still underway but the Church is now fully functional. (The Arizona Republic)
