Thanksgiving tips: Cooking, pets, leftovers
SUMMARY: As Thanksgiving approaches, safety is crucial for a hazard-free celebration. Maria Agular shares key tips starting with turkey frying: always fry outdoors, away from structures, using a level surface, and never leave the fryer unattended. After cooking, store leftovers within 2 hours in shallow containers, safe in the fridge for 3-4 days. While sharing food with pets is tempting, avoid giving them turkey bones, skin, stuffing, and sweets like chocolate. Safe options include plain potatoes, apple slices, and turkey meat without skin or bones. Taking precautions ensures a safe and enjoyable holiday for all, including furry family members.
How to avoid fires, foodborne illness, sick pets and more. Stay safe this Thanksgiving.

Man who tried to enter Dallas church with tactical rifle now facing federal charge
SUMMARY: A federal judge ordered Russell Allen Ragsdale Jr. to remain in custody after a church incident in Dallas. On November 2, Ragsdale, who had been attending St. Augustine Catholic Church, attempted to re-enter with a tactical rifle after a confrontation with the priest. Parishioners locked the doors, preventing him from entering, and a man convinced him to drop the weapon. Ragsdale was later charged with a 2022 murder of his roommate, which was initially dismissed. Federal investigators found evidence of drug use, leading to charges for possessing a firearm as an unlawful user of controlled substances. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison.
Police say the man with a tactical rifle closed the gates to the parking lot before trying to re-enter the church while 100 people were inside. A man who talked him into dropping the weapon believes he may have wanted to shoot people inside.
