Shooting kills football player
TOPEKA, Kan. -- Washburn University's joy over one of its own going to the pros quickly shifted to grief this weekend after a shooting killed a current Washburn football player and wounded the former member of the team who was drafted by the New York Giants just hours earlier.
Police in Topeka, where the university is located, said officers found 23-year-old defensive back Dwane Simmons dead when they investigated gunshots shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday. Cornerback Corey Ballentine was wounded, but his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. Ballentine, also 23, grew up in Topeka and was picked by the Giants on Saturday in the sixth round of the NFL draft.
"This was a terrible way to end a day which should have been a day of celebration and a day to look forward to Dwane's upcoming year at Washburn and the beginning of Corey's professional career," Washburn president Jerry Farley said.
Bottas, Hamilton finish 1-2 in Baku
BAKU, Azerbaijan -- It's beginning to look a lot like 2016 in Formula One.
Just much friendlier.
When Valtteri Bottas beat Lewis Hamilton to win the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday, it was the fourth Mercedes one-two in as many races, the best start to a season by a two-car team in Formula One history. Ferrari can barely keep up.
It's been three years since the title was last decided between Mercedes teammates. Back then, Nico Rosberg bested Hamilton in a titanic ontrack clash which became a bitter personal feud.
This time round, Hamilton and Bottas are full of praise -- so far -- for each other's driving.
"Today he was very fair in giving me space and after that he was faultless, so he truly deserved the win," Hamilton said of the man who leads him in the standings by one point.
