65-Year-Old Man Charged in Fatal Shooting | Lubbock News

A 65-year-old man, Robert Kinney, faces murder charges after a fatal shooting early Saturday — claiming he accidentally discharged his gun during a tense confrontation with a 37-year-old man, Stephon Jones, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Kinney says he was awakened by his wife, went outside to greet his son, felt threatened by strangers arriving, and fired a warning shot before being struck in the face by Jones — which he says caused the gun to discharge. He admits pulling the trigger but insists he didn’t intend to harm Jones, who was unarmed. Kinney is jailed with a $250,000 bond as the investigation continues.

Can You Cook an Egg on a Hot Sidewalk | Lubbock News

Texas is baking under record-breaking heat, with temperatures soaring past 100 degrees and the heat index hitting 110—so someone decided to test the old adage by frying an egg on a sidewalk in Lubbock. The experiment? A stainless steel pan, direct sun, and a perfectly cooked egg. But that’s not all: they also tried baking cookies on a car dashboard to see if trapped heat could turn your ride into an impromptu oven. These simple, quirky tests reveal just how intense summer heat can be—and how seriously nature is turning up the thermostat.

Abuelos Bankruptcy Update Revealed | Lubbock News

Abuelos, the beloved Texan restaurant chain, is defying the odds by staying open while navigating Chapter 11 bankruptcy — even growing its cash reserves from $7M to nearly $9M in just one month. Despite shrinking from 40 to just 13 locations (8 still in Texas), the company’s financial strategy is holding strong, with tweaks to its reorganization plan including a faster 5-year payoff for secured claims and a new “exit financing” deal replacing a 10-year creditor payment. Current investors risk losing their stake, but may re-enter later with new stock. A major disclosure document is under creditor review, and a court hearing in Fort Worth on August 17th will decide if the plan moves forward — requiring a majority vote from creditors representing at least two-thirds of the debt.
