Fredericksburg rallies to aid farmers, ranchers as Crabapple Fire nears full containment
SUMMARY: The Crabapple Fire in Fredericksburg, Texas, has burned nearly 10,000 acres and is 90% contained.

The Gillespie County Fairgrounds has become a donation hub, with residents contributing generously. While the immediate supply needs have been met, the community continues to collect funds for emergency aid and long-term recovery through the Crabapple Disaster Fund. Texans have shown resilience, with residents donating goods and offering support in the face of ongoing challenges like drought and disease.

Video shows Texas officers nearly shooting business owner
SUMMARY: Fort Worth police released body camera footage of an incident where officers nearly shot a business owner responding to a burglary alarm at Taria Ruby. The officers saw the man with a gun and ordered him to drop it, unaware he was the owner. Chief Robert Aldridge cited a communication gap, stressing that owners should alert police when accessing their property during alarms. Criminologist Alex Del Carmen noted the officers followed protocol despite not announcing themselves. Fortunately, the owner was unhurt, and the incident highlights the need for better coordination to avoid such situations. The investigation into the burglary continues.

No one was injured, but the video shows just how close this story came to having a very different outcome.
