CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) — A man suspected of killing five of his neighbors in Texas after they asked him to stop shooting his gun near their house hid out just miles away from the slayings while he and his domestic partner plotted his escape to Mexico, authorities said Wednesday.
Francisco Oropeza showered and slept at the house outside the city of Conroe on Tuesday while Divimara Lamar Nava got him donuts from a nearby store, a prosecutor said. Lamar Nava also acknowledged delivering a message from Oropeza to his cousins in the area asking...
NEW YORK – It was the leading men against the replacements.
Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and R.J. Barrett were in place for the New York Knicks.
Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo were out for the Miami Heat.
No, not optimal, the Heat ailing and the Knicks healing as the teams headed into Tuesday night’s Game 2 of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Still, even with the Knicks moving to a 111-105 victory at Madison Square Garden and a 1-1 series tie, it was a game that showed what the Heat have in support of Butler, who well could be back from his sprained right...

HENRYETTA, Okla. (AP) — As law enforcement officials went silent Tuesday while piecing together what led to the killing of seven people in rural Oklahoma, family members of those slain recalled the controlling nature of one of the dead, who was a registered sex offender.
Since the bodies were found early Monday, authorities have released scant information on who was killed, how they died and who killed them. But two relatives said all the victims were shot to death.
Janette Mayo, whose daughter and three teenage grandchildren were among the dead, said the controlling...
NEW YORK — Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 111-105 NBA playoff loss to the New York Knicks:
– It could have been a Bam Adebayo game for the Heat.
– And perhaps, in his own way, it was.
– The issue with Adebayo, at least with this roster, hasn’t been about such an immediate ascension.
– The leading man is in place, even if absent Tuesday night.
– So even with Jimmy Butler out, coach Erik Spoelstra stressed perspective, at least when it came to Tuesday’s expectations.
– “They don’t change dramatically,” Spoelstra said of Adebayo. “He doesn’t need to score 50 for us...

CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) — The search for a gunman in Texas who killed five neighbors from Honduras dragged into a third day Monday with false alarms and few apparent leads, while Republican Gov. Greg Abbott faced backlash over drawing attention to the victims’ immigration status.
An FBI agent on the scene near Houston acknowledged they have little to go on in the widening manhunt for 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza, who has been deported four times since 2009, but who neighbors say lived on their street for years prior to Friday night’s shooting...

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A rare and powerful tornado sent residents of a coastal city in Virginia fleeing for cover over the weekend as it peeled roofs from buildings and pushed homes from their foundations.
It was the most powerful tornado ever to hit Virginia Beach, Virginia, officials confirmed Monday. No one was reported injured, despite few residents being prepared for tornadoes. Several people described taking cover under stairwells; most lack basements because the water table is so high.
Wreckage from destructive weather dotted the U.S. Monday as officials...
