The other individual involved is identified as Kai Sebastian Stevenson, 28. The grand jury indicted Stevenson on two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. Get more details at OregonLive.

Officers responded to a domestic disturbance call on September 11 and found a female had been fatally stabbed. The suspect, Jose Rodolpho Torres-Amaro, also suffered from serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital to recover.

- Here's a reminder to double-check your water bill: A local man paid an estimated extra $20,000 over the years due to leaky pipes. 91-year-old veteran, Ernest Geesee, paid his water bill regularly, even though it sometimes reached nearly $900. When his daughter began helping him write checks late last year, she noticed the unusually steep charges and reached out to TVWD. The agency issued Geesee a small refund but stated they typically only flag usage as abnormal if it suddenly triples. (KOIN.com)
