THACKERVILLE, Okla. (AP) — A man was fatally shot while trying to rob a marijuana dispensary at gunpoint, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Two men who have not been identified entered Border Buds in Thackerville near the Oklahoma-Texas state line about 125 miles (201 kilometers) south of Oklahoma City Thursday night and demanded money and marijuana, the OSBI said.

One of the men then showed his gun to the clerk a gun, who said he was also armed, according to the OSBI.

The robber then shot at the clerk, who returned fire and killed the man.

The second man fled and has not been found, authorities said.

The clerk was not injured and no one else was inside the store, according to the OSBI.

The dead man’s body was sent to the state medical examiner’s office to determine his identity, the OSBI said.

WestJet to make new hangar home near Winnipeg airport

WestJet will become the first tenant in a new development near the Winnipeg Richardson International Airport.

The Calgary-based airline plans to open a 73,110-square-foot aircraft maintenance hangar in West Lands, a sprawling site meant to boost business near the airport.

The hangar is expected to open at the end of 2028.

“Winnipeg is a very important market and city for WestJet,” said Alexis von Hoensbroech, WestJet’s chief executive officer. “We always had one missing piece of the puzzle, which is that we don’t have a hangar in Winnipeg.”

Communist smooch lingers on in German capital

What a lip-lock it is.

A smooch that inspired a famous mural and is replicated on every souvenir possible from posters, postcards and mugs to keychains, tea towels and t-shirts.

It’s a reminder of communism, but also a symbol of freedom and even LGBTTQ+ inclusivity.

It’s the My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love mural on the East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall by Russian painter Dmitri Vrubel. (It’s sometimes also referred to as Fraternal Kiss.)

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers got what they paid for in Jarell Broxton.

The club made the 33-year-old from Maryland the CFL’s highest-paid American offensive lineman in free agency, and he has proven to be worth every penny.

That was emphasized Wednesday when Broxton was announced as the league’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman.

“Man, it’s a blessing,” Broxton told reporters.

BRANDON — A woman who was sexually assaulted on the Brandon University campus said she has become a powerful voice for victims as she directly addressed her rapist before he was sentenced to three years in prison.

“Staying silent meant people like you would continue to get away with preying on victims, thinking there were no consequences, and I couldn’t let that happen — not just for myself, but for all people whose voices could not, have not, or will not be heard,” the 28-year-old woman said in Brandon’s Court of King’s Bench Monday.

The Indigenous woman from Thompson sobbed as she recalled feeling scared following the sexual assault in the men’s dormitory on Sept. 24, 2017.

“I don’t forgive you. I will, however, thank you for showing me that I’m stronger than I ever thought I could be, and that I don’t have to feel guilty for tolerating anything I’m not OK with,” she said as her hands shook.

Kinew congratulates Democrats for ‘dominating Trump’ in U.S. midterms

Free Press staff 4 minute read Updated: 5:34 PM EST

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is celebrating the Democratic party’s stunning victories over Republican candidates — many of whom were hand-picked by President Donald Trump — in Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections.

Kinew posted a photo on social media of himself with Minnesota senator-elect Peggy Flanagan, the state’s former lieutenant-governor and a fellow Anishinaabe, congratulating her “and all the Democrats for absolutely dominating Trump in the midterms!”

After two years of unified Republican control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, the Democrats won both by wide margins Tuesday for a Congress poised to reassert itself as a co-equal branch of government ready to challenge Trump.

Manitoba’s New Democrat premier, who has openly mocked and criticized Trump over tariffs and trade issues, took a victory lap on social media Wednesday, saluting his left-of-centre counterparts south of the border.
