| Man killed in fatal shooting in Northeast Anchorage Anchorage police are investigating the death of a man found in Mountain View early Sunday after an apparent shooting. Anchorage's police and fire departments responded around 3:15 a.m. to a shooting in the area of the 400 block of North Bragaw Street, near the intersection of Thompson Avenue, police said in an online update. Police said they have detained a suspect, but no arrests have been made so far. Emergency responders found a victim outside, and fire department medics took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Sean Keating, an APD officer and crime scene team leader, said Sunday evening at the scene of a different incident that the victim found in Mountain View had died of a gunshot wound. The identities of the victim and the person described as a suspect weren't included in the police department's update. ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS - METERED SITE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Colorado firefighters reflect on Club Q shooting response, one year later VIDEO: Colorado Springs firefighters are reflecting on the Club Q shooting response, one year later. It was what firefighters described to 11 News as a typical Saturday night in November, that turned very wrong, very quickly. "It was a very cold night, I do remember that. I remember as the event was coming in, there was a lot of chatter coming up on the radio. Both of us got the feeling that this was something real, just the way it was dispatched and the manor it was dispatched," said CSFD Medical Lieutenant Brian Ebmeyer. Firefighters responded to Club Q, near North Academy and North Carefree, within minutes. Ebmeyer was in charge of transport and incident command support, getting victims off the scene and to the hospital as quickly as possible. KKTV CBS 11 COLORADO SPRINGS Officials stock up on naloxone after suspicious letters disrupt vote counting in six states Fentanyl-laced letters were sent to government buildings in six states including Oregon and Washington The suspicious letters sent to vote centers and government buildings in six states this month were undeniably scary, some containing traces of fentanyl or white powder, accompanied by not-so-veiled threats and dubious political symbols. Harkening back to the anthrax attacks that killed five people in 2001, the mailings are prompting elections officials already frustrated with ongoing harassment and threats to reach out to local police, fire and health departments for help stocking up on the overdose reversal medication naloxone. Even if there's little risk from incidental contact with the synthetic opioid, having the antidote on hand isn't a bad idea amid an addiction epidemic that is killing more than 100,000 people in the U.S. every year — and it can provide some assurance for stressed ballot workers, election managers say. OREGON PUBLIC BROADCASTING FEMA Launches First-Ever #WinterReady Campaign, Urges the Nation to Get Prepared for Extreme Cold and Winter Weather In time for holiday travel and winter weather, FEMA's Ready Campaign launched the first-ever #WinterReady campaign encouraging people to identify and reduce the risks they face during the winter season. FEMA's #WinterReady Campaign provides easy, low-cost tips to keep you safe including ways to keep homes warm, travel safely, prepare for inclement weather and simple steps to mitigate the risks of home fires which are most prevalent during this time. "Harsh winters are not only a concern for states in the far north -- blizzards, extreme cold and the damage to our critical infrastructure that these conditions can cause today threaten every community, everywhere across our nation," said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. FEMA Experts: Clay pot heaters are not a safe way to warm up your home, despite popular trend A popular trend online shows people using terracotta clay pot "heaters" in an attempt to save money on heating their homes. The homemade device consists of an upside-down terracotta pot propped up over household candles. The question is: Are clay pot heaters a safe way to heat a room? No, clay pot heaters are not a safe way to heat a room. A clay pot heater may make you feel warmer if you sit close to it, but experts say it won't do much to warm the room as a whole and it's also a serious fire risk. Typically, when you burn a candle, the heat from the candle rises up to the ceiling. "The heat released from chemically burning candle wax will not change with the clay pot being present or not, so it should have no effect on the total energy released," Scott Schiffres, Ph.D., associate mechanical engineering professor at Binghamton University explained.
