Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Irving Man Accused of Assaulting 7-Months-Pregnant Girlfriend, Blocking Her From Leaving Apartment (irvingweekly.com) — Irving police arrested a 24-year-old local man after a domestic disturbance at a South Irving apartment, where officers say a seven‑months‑pregnant woman was assaulted and blocked from leaving. The woman reported lip injuries and visible property damage, and the suspect allegedly admitted to restraining and pushing her. He now faces felony charges and remains jailed on additional out‑of‑county warrants.
2. Alessandra Romo Named American Conference Defensive Player of the Week - University of North Texas Athletics (meangreensports.com) — From Irving, the American Conference has honored UNT libero Alessandra Romo as Defensive Player of the Week after she racked up 52 digs with no reception errors at the ACU Invitational. She's the first Mean Green player to earn this defensive award since 2025. Fans can watch her next as UNT visits Baylor Thursday before hosting Florida Sunday at the Super Pit.
3. Rice announces formation of Commission on Women Serving in Pastoral Ministry (christianindex.org) — An Irving church member, Betsey Gomez of Ekklesia Comunidad Biblica, has been named to a new Southern Baptist commission studying women serving in pastoral ministry. The group, led from Austin and other cities, will recommend how the denomination applies its existing stance limiting the pastor's office to men. Their findings could shape how churches nationwide, including those in Irving, handle women's ministry roles.
4. Best high schools in Texas (kdhnews.com) — A new statewide ranking of top Texas high schools includes at least one campus located in Irving, highlighting strong academics and low student-to-teacher ratios. While the list spans cities like Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Irving families can compare local options against other highly rated schools across Texas when considering where their students might thrive.
5. McKesson Confirms Data Breach: 284M Records, $55M Demand (tech-insider.org) — A massive data breach has hit McKesson, the Irving‑based pharmaceutical distributor that moves about a third of U.S. prescription drugs, with hackers claiming access to hundreds of millions of patient‑record lines. The company confirms cloud systems were compromised and data stolen, while an extortion group demands a large ransom and threatens to leak files. Irving residents who receive specialty care or medications through McKesson‑linked providers may eventually get notification letters as the investigation continues.
