**Summer** An arrest has been made after a violent home invasion in San Marcos. Thanks for watching Bobcat Update. I’m Summer Ratliff. **Claudia** And I’m Claudia Mickle. We start today with some breaking news out of Fort Hood. **Claudia** At least 12 people are dead and another 31 people are hurt after a mass shooting at Fort Hood - which is about 50 miles north of Austin. One shooter is confirmed dead. Two other suspects were taken into custody. We don’t know much right now - except the shooting happened at the sports dome - which is also known as the soldier readiness area. According to a message on its web site - the installation is shut down right now. Fort Hood leaders are also asking people there to stay away from windows. FBI agents from across the state are headed there. **Summer** A man accused in a violent home invasion here in San Marcos -- is now under arrest. According to Newstreamz, police charged 21- year-old Dennis Andrew Nefedov with burglary of habitation with intent to commit another felony. Investigators say he shot at someone during a break-in at a home on Oscar Smith Drive late last month. No one was hurt -- but this was the fourth home invasion in San Marcos in the past couple of weeks. Three people died in the other attacks. But police do not believe the string of home invasions is linked. **Claudia** The votes are in and John Thomaides is the winner of Place 6 on the San Marcos City Council. Selina Affram has more in this Bobcat Update. **stop** **Summer** Some top republicans joined Tea Party protestors in Washington today -- at a rally against health care reform. The protestors said that a bill from the House of Representatives would translate into a full-blown government takeover of the health care system. Democrats did get a major boost today. The American Medical Association and A-A-R-P both endorsed the House plan. The one-point-one trillion dollar measure will likely be voted on by Saturday. The senate is still working on its version of the bill -- and there’s no word when that vote will happen. **Claudia** Meanwhile - the Texas State College Democrats are getting ready to hold a health care reform rally on campus. It’s Tuesday at 1:30 in the afternoon at the Christ Chapel at Guadalupe and Woods Street – next to campus. Congressman Lloyd Doggett will be the special guest speaker at the rally. Some San Marcos city council members will also be there, along with other speakers. This rally will be part of what’s being called Health Reform Education Day. The event is free and open to the public. **Summer** Authorities say a U-S serviceman has been killed in Mexico's dangerous city of Juarez. State officials say the off-duty airman was among six killed at a strip club when a band of gunmen stormed in and opened fire early yesterday morning. Officials say 26-year-old Staff Sergeant David Booher was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. So far, two thousand people have been killed in the city, known for its deadly drug-related violence. Some U-S military bases near the city have banned troops from going to the city -- including Fort Bliss in Texas. **Claudia** The body of a marine from Lockhart has returned home to Texas. According to News 8 Austin -- 21-year-old Lance Corporal Stanley was laid to rest yesterday. Stanley died while serving in Afghanistan. A procession was held past the Caldwell County Courthouse and throughout the downtown area, where hundreds were present in his honor. Stanley went to grade school in Lockhart and still has a lot of family there. A local resident called Stanley an American hero - who made a sacrifice for all of us and deserved to be honored. **Summer** A network television correspondent visited Texas State University this week. Bobcat Update's Rhe-Anne Cannaday was among a group of Mass Communication students he talked with, and she filed this report. **stop** **Summer** We’re going to show you what Texas State students are doing -- to get ready for graduation. **Claudia** That’s coming up after the break -- on Bobcat Update. **stop** **Summer** San Marcos motorists may see some street changes soon as part of the city's Downtown Master Plan. Project Manager Steve Gujardo says City Council is considering changing some one-way streets to two-way. The Council also decided to widen downtown streets and lower the speed limit to make it easier for bikers to navigate alongside motorists. The city's master plan also includes widening sidewalks and adding benches and trees. The street changes are expected to start within the next two years. **Claudia** As the semester is coming to an end, Texas State seniors are finishing up their final projects and preparing for graduation.

The workshops and paper presentations were open to all faculty, students, staff and members of the San Marcos community. **Claudia** Police in La Porte, Texas, are conducting an investigation following the disappearance of 50-thousand dollars from a livestock show and rodeo. The money was supposed to provide scholarships, but the event's board members recently discovered that the bank account has been drained. Police are now looking at the rodeo's financial records, and they want to question a person of interest -- a member of the livestock and rodeo association. So far, no charges have been filed and no one has been arrested. In the past, the funds have provided more than 25-thousand dollars in scholarships. **Summer** New York's Attorney General has filed an anti-trust lawsuit against Intel -- alleging the chipmaker threatened computer makers and paid kickbacks to stop them from using competitors' chips. The suit also charges that Intel's illegal actions involved three of the largest U-S computer makers: Dell, Hewlett-Packard and I-B-M. The attorney general's office alleges that Intel paid billions of dollars to encourage use of Intel's microprocessors exclusively. Intel denies the claims and says the company will defend itself. **Claudia** A celebration of peace -- that's how an event at Texas State is being described. Mitch Shubert attended a poetry reading hosted by the Modern Languages Department, and he files this report. **stop** **Claudia** An eleventh victim has been discovered at what's become a house of horrors in Cleveland -- where a registered sex offender is suspected of being a serial killer. All but one of the victims--- dug from a backyard and found inside the house are still nameless. D-N-A evidence is being examined to try and identify them. An ex-Marine, Anthony Sowell, is being questioned in the case. Sowell spent 15 years in jail after being convicted of rape. A criminal profiler says Sowell probably got away with his crimes for as long as he did because his home was near a sausage plant. **Summer** Just in time for the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington's Newseum is featuring the largest display of the infamous wall. The exhibit includes sections of the concrete wall that stand 12 feet high and weigh about three tons. An East German guard tower is also a part of the display. On November 9th, 1989, Germans gathered at the wall to celebrate the border being opened between East and West Germany. Germany was formally re-united less than a year later. **Claudia** We’re going to show you what the weather will look like this weekend. **Summer** That’s next - on Bobcat Update. **stop** **RheAnne** (wx ad lib) **Claudia** The New York Yankees have done it -- again! **Summer** We’ll have all your sports headlines -- next on Bobcat Update. **stop** **Wachs** I’m Johnathan Wachsmann with sports. We catch up with the Yankees taking on the Phillies in the Bronx last night in a pivotal game six. Nick Swisher hits a chopper to third, but Pedro Felix doing what he here can to keep the Phillies close. The score remained seven to three moving to the eighth inning. The Yankees offense, which has been praised all year for its production, but it was their pitching attack in the last two innings headed up by this man, Mariano Rivera. Rivera gets Shane Victorino to ground out to second to seal the twenty-seventh World Series championship by the Yankees. Hideki Matsui was awarded World Series most valuable player. **Wachs** World Series Champion Yankees manager Joe Girardi is celebrated as a coach, but it turns out he is somewhat of a saint as well. Not happy with simply ending the nine-year championship drought for the Bombers, Girardi took time after the celebrations were over last night to come to the aid of a woman in a car accident. Girardi and Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte (Pet-it) had passed the woman earlier in the night at a drunk driving checkpoint before the Yankee skipper came to the minor spinout. The driver, Marie Henry of Connecticut was extremely grateful for the manager’s assistance. **Wachs** The Dallas Mavericks played the New Orleans Hornets last night in a fast and close game that went into overtime in front of the enthusiastic New Orleans crowd. Jason Terry of the Hornets went for an aggressive lay up and was fouled. Chris Paul of Dallas followed up with a nice three pointer to tie the score 81 to 81. The game continued into overtime where the Hornets eventually pulled ahead. Bobby Brown and Chris Paul are showing some teamwork and making the winning shots. The final score was Mavs one-oh-two, Hornets one-oh-eight. **Wachs** Ron Artest making his return to Houston last night for the first time since signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. He knocks down a big tray here with thirty seconds to go to put the Lakers up by three. But it was Trevor Ariza with the answer on the other end to tie the score up with a three of his own to send the Rockets to over time. But in OT, it would be all Kobe Bryant despite the Rockets putting up a good fight with good performances from Aaron Brooks and Chuck Hayes here with the put back. The Lakers would move on to win 100-hundred to 98 over the Houston Rockets. **Wachs** The Texas State football team is gearing up for another big test. They take on Central Arkansas this Saturday night -- and the Bears are ranked #19 in the country. Both teams are 5 and 3 on the season. The Bobcats are riding high right now -- fresh off an upset of 11th ranked Stephen F. Austin last week. Even though the Bobcats are on the road this week -- the game is being shown on the Southland Conference TV Network. There will also be a watch party at The Hub in Austin. **Wachs** For the past three decades, one person has been the face of Bobcat Volleyball. Colby Howell has more in this Bobcat Update. **stop** **Wachs** They travel the state competing in basketball tournaments for ladies in their 80s (and up), but they have the spunk of 20-year-olds. They're known as the Granny Globetrotters, and they can still play a mean game of basketball. Most of the players are in their 80s. The oldest is 93. They play mainly to have a little fun and share a few laughs. They don't concern themselves with scoring the big shots. They drill up and down the court, practice their defense and layups. They feel they're ready to take on all comers, and they perhaps prove that age is just a number. (ad lib) **Summer** That’s all for this edition of Bobcat Update. Thanks for watching. **Claudia** We’ll be back next Wednesday afternoon at 4:30. See you then.
