Bullet From New Year’s Celebratory Gunfire shoots Through Family’s Leet Township Home

New Year’s celebratory gunfire sent a bullet into a home in Leet Township, police said. Ray and Amy Bollinger were ringing in 2020 with their 5-month-old son when the bullet shot through their kitchen wall, ending up on the ground near the refrigerator. Unsure of whether more bullets were coming as the gunfire continued, the Bollingers ran up their steps and called 911. Police traced the bullet that entered the Bollingers’ home on Main Street to another home on Valley Road in nearby Ambridge. Those responsible for the gunfire were apprehended and are charged with reckless endangerment. Police say what happened was clearly an accident, but the incident serves as a cautionary tale…. Even if you live in a semi-populated area, never fire off a gun into the air.

Iraqi state TV and three Iraqi officials say Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, has been killed in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport. The officials said the strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran’s-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces. Their deaths are a potential turning point in the Middle East and are expected to draw severe retaliation from Iran and the forces it backs in the Middle East against Israel and American interests.

By JOE KAY AP Sports Writer
Sam Wyche, the innovative coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, has died at 74. Wyche, who entered hospice on Monday, died Thursday of melanoma, officials with the Bengals confirmed. Wyche led the Bengals to their second Super Bowl during the 1988 season by using a no-huddle offense that forced the league to change its substitution rules. He was a nonconformist in a button-down league. Wyche ran up the score to settle a personal grudge and belittled the city of rival Cleveland during his eight seasons in Cincinnati. He later coached Tampa Bay for four seasons.
