概要

 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, February 27. We kick off with breaking developments at the border where the US military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone near Fort Bliss, prompting the FAA to close some airspace around our city. Lawmakers like Rep. Rick Larsen called it stunning, but a joint statement from the FAA, CBP, and Pentagon says it was to counter drone threats from cartels, far from populated areas and with no impact on commercial flights. This follows a similar incident two weeks ago, highlighting stronger border defenses under President Trump.

Shifting to our crime report from the past day, El Paso Police are seeking two suspects in a beer theft at the OXXO on 5830 Dyer Street near Broaddus Avenue. Caught on camera with side-eye stares and packs of Twisted Tea, they struck on February 13 evening. If you know them, call Crime Stoppers at 915-566-8477. We stay safe out there, listeners.

In court news, driver Domenick Chavez got 15 years for the 2023 crash that killed original Dixie Chicks singer Laura Lynch near El Paso. He was speeding over 100 miles per hour on a suspended license, causing a fiery head-on collision. District Attorney James Montoya says it holds dangerous drivers accountable.
