DENVER — Aaron Boone didn’t sound optimistic after Josh Donaldson hobbled down the first base line in the seventh inning of the Yankees’ Saturday win over the Rockies.Donaldson, who was “a little beat up” prior to the All-Star break and designated hitting for the second consecutive day on Saturday, hurt his right calf, according to Boone.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:55:07 GMT

Many questions remained Sunday about what led a gunman in Fargo, North Dakota, to open fire on police officers as they were responding to a traffic crash. One officer was killed and two others were critically wounded before the gunman was killed by a fourth officer. The shooting happened Friday afternoon along a busy street, and roughly nine hours passed before authorities told the public that officers were shot. On Saturday, Fargo’s police chief released the names of the officers and the name of the gunman, but said the motive was unclear and that the 37-year-old man opened fire for “no known reason at all.” Chief Dave Zibolski also said little about how the situation unfolded, noting the investigation was in the hands of state and federal investigators. “We are not in the position to provide many details in terms of the actual incident itself,” Zibolski said. Authorities released no new information Sunday. Here’s what we know, and what we don’t, about the shootin...
