Police identified two homicide victims—60-year-old Kevin Christensen, who died from fatal stab wounds, and 61-year-old David McFarland, who was fatally shot in self-defense after allegedly attacking a woman with a knife—during a violent incident Tuesday at the Hart Terrace apartment complex on South Hill.

She will attend Gonzaga University this fall — planning to study kinesiology and engineering management while working to develop more inclusive sports technology.

Gonzaga University and the City of Spokane urged the EPA to reinstate a $19.9M federal grant that funded projects like new HVAC systems in 300 low-income homes, five Community Resilience Hubs and clean energy job training.

Mayor Brown and Senator Cantwell criticized the Commerce Department’s decision to cancel $48 million in funding for the Spokane Aerospace Tech Hub—local leaders say the move delayed aerospace job growth and hurt the region’s future.

U.S. Senator Murray and Congressman Baumgartner also warned that the rushed, unclear process now risks turning a promising project into a costly setback.
