Garland Firearms Dealer Recalls Vegas Shooter. Paul Peddle, owner of B & S Guns in Garland, sold guns to Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock in 2010 and 2011. Peddle also remembers Paddock visiting the shop last year with his girlfriend, Marilou Danley. Peddle said Paddock didn’t buy anything this most recent time but inquired about modifying a gun to make it easier to pull the trigger. Apparently Paddock hadn’t purchased long guns from him that could’ve been used in the shooting.

Body Found in Fort Worth Could Be Tied to Arlington Slaying. Fort Worth police found a body inside a vacant home after receiving a tip from Arlington police. The body may be connected to a double killing last month in Arlington when a severed head was found near AT&T Stadium. Two suspects had been arrested in the Arlington case. A medical examiner will determine the Fort Worth deceased person’s identity and cause of death.

Man Drowned in Lake Ray Hubbard. DPD identified the victim as 51-year-old Prince Slaughter, whom they pulled from the lake near John Paul Jones Park. He drowned while attempting to swim to his boat that had drifted away from the shore. A witness was able to pull him to shore, but by that time it was already too late.
