These were the Top 10 stories reported on local news website earlier this week:
#1 Police shoot gunman dead at St. Rose Dominican Hospital
Geez, the hospital is supposed to be a place people go to get better, not shot.
#2 Steve Wynn and wife divorcing… again
So much for Las Vegas being the Wedding Capital of the World.
#3 Expectant couple attacked during nightly walk
You’re kidding me, right?
#4 Herbst Gaming to file for bankruptcy
Another sign of the ailing gaming industry. Herbst Gaming owns the Terribles chain of gas station and convenience stores. They also own what used to be Primm Valley at the California border.
#5 Mother hopes to find body of missing daughter
Very sad. Too many of these headlines involve children as you will see.
#6 Lawmakers seek harsh penalties for child prostitution involvement
Um, yes.
#7 Vegas: All the break travelers need this spring
We’re a discount destination!
#8 Senate bill aimed at banning texting while driving
Probably a good thing considering how bad drivers in Las Vegas are to begin with.
#9 Infant killed in bicycle-television stand accident
This is probably just bad luck and not related to Las Vegas in any way but still really sad to hear.
#10 Henderson man charged in infant’s death
Not related to #9.
