No fatalities or injuries were reported from the incident.

The senior came up three points short of the all-time record last week.
Despite coming up short of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball scoring record held by former LSU star Pete Maravich, Detroit Mercy’s Antoine Davis may get another chance to break the record.
Davis seemingly finished his collegiate basketball career with 3,664 career points in 144 games over five seasons, while Maravich holds the record with 3,667 in 83 games over just three varsity seasons. It appeared that Davis’s name would be etched into history in second place instead of becoming the new leader.

WWE is discussing procedures with Colorado and Michigan regulators that would enable patrons in those states to bet on the results of scripted matches, according to a Wednesday report from CNBC.

Seattle owns the No. 5 pick courtesy of the Russell Wilson trade with Denver.
It’s been nearly a year since the Seahawks traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos, drastically altering the trajectories of both franchises. Seattle found its new quarterback in Geno Smith, who was named the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year and just signed a new three-year contract worth up to $105 million. The Broncos, meanwhile, had an abysmal year and, as part of the Wilson trade, sent their 2023 first-round pick to Seattle.
