More than 2,000 soldiers and 500 police officers surrounded a populous neighborhood on the outskirts of El Salvador’s capital on Monday in an effort to quash the remnants of gangs the president said were trying to set up shop in the area. Police surrounded the San Marcos neighborhood with a military fence, setting up checkpoints to prevent gang members from escaping, said Defense Minister René Francis Merino Monroy. The fence was the third of its kind to be installed in parts of San Salvador intended to find and arrest gang members still operating in the country.

The Connecticut Sun fired head coach Stephanie White following a season in which the team went 28-12 and won a playoff series. 
Of course, speculation is rampant that the Sun let White go because she’s destined to become the next head coach of the Indiana Fever, who fired Christie Sides over the weekend. 
White played the majority of her WNBA playing career with the Fever and spent three years as an assistant coach in Indiana, including for the team’s 2012 WNBA championship season.
