ROCKFORD Angel Nunez was walking in front of his Illinois Avenue home Sunday evening when a vehicle suddenly pulled up and someone wearing a hoodie jumped out and ran past him.
Nunez said he didn’t recognize the person, but he thought he heard him say “grandpa” as he rushed by. Seconds later, a police officer ran past the 74-year-old Rockford man.
The man in the hooded sweatshirt scaled a wooden fence that separated Nunez s backyard from that of a neighboring fourplex. Nunez said when the officer reached the fence, he peered over it and fired his weapon.
The brief foot chase was over. Nunez said he looked over the fence.
TUPELO ⢠To say the Hispanic Ministry of St. James Catholic Church in Tupelo has a nativity scene is a little like saying the coronavirus has been a bit inconvenient: Itâs true, but it doesnât do it justice.
This is no Hobby Lobby boxed set; rather, itâs a handcrafted diorama that tells the Christmas story, from the Annunciation through the presentation of Jesus in the temple. And even though Mary and Joseph are only 6 inches tall, the three-dimensional set in which they find themselves stands 5 feet and stretches across half of the stage in Shelton Hall, where the congregation meets.
