Just after 2 p.m., police were called to the 12100 block of South Stewart Street where the man had been shot by someone in a dark car, Chicago police said in a media notification. The responding officer “inadvertently struck” the man who was lying in the street, police said.
It only felt fitting that Jacobellis, a five-time Olympian who has been humbled aplenty at the Games, made a breakthrough for a U.S. team that, until she showed up, could not seem to get anything right. Hours before her win, over on the Alpine course, Mikaela Shiffrin skidded out in the slalom to make her 0 for 2 at the Olympics. That opened the door for Jacobellis to flip the script and make some history, too.

“I like this group,” Karnišovas said. “I like this group a lot. … Teams that are close by (in the standings) like Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Philly, they’ve had their group for two or three years at least, and we’ve had this group for three months. We’re still learning, we’re still adjusting and I like this group a lot. There’s a lot of games that we came back (in). We didn’t fold.”
The play: Hester scored 10 touchdowns against the Vikings in his career, more than any other team. In this game, a 34-31 Vikings win, Hester had a career-long 81-yard touchdown reception and an 89-yard punt return for a touchdown, tied for the longest of his career. The Vikings tried to punt away from Hester in the first quarter. But he ran it down for an over-the-shoulder catch at the 11-yard line and then broke to the right sideline, leaving three Vikings tacklers in his wake. In the fourth quarter, Bears quarterback Brian Griese launched a deep ball to Hester, who outran a defender to the end zone to tie it.
Indiana starters Xavier Johnson and Parker Stewart and reserves Tamar Bates, Michael Durr and Khristian Lander did not play for disciplinary reasons. Rob Phinisee also missed the game, his third straight, because of plantar fasciitis, leaving coach Mike Woodson with just seven available scholarship players.
Purdue: The Boilermakers have been the Big Ten’s highest-ranked team most of this season Now, after starting 1-2 in conference play, they finally have a share of the league lead. Purdue has gone 98-11 in its last 109 home games and this time did it with the kind of balanced attack it will need to make a deep NCAA Tournament run.
Sarah Spain, an ESPN reporter who has an ownership stake in the Red Stars, posted on social media: “It’s the same story, over & over again. Across different sports, leagues & countries. The power to change a life & career wielded over girls & boys. Control over a sport they love. A system built to shame & silence. This is sickening, and so many let it keep happening.”
