A local meeting house of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter – day Saints was broken into last night. No one was around when the brake in happened, the maintenance man found smashed monitors in the morning and called police. Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty said that it looks like two juveniles came in threw a window and stole a few things. Bishop Lawrence Shirk was the last person to leave last night around 11 p.m. He recalls leaving his office window open but locking all of the doors.
One of the suspects allegedly came in threw the window of the office, then let the other person in. They took two CPU’s leaving the keyboards and smashing the monitors in the hall. Maintenance man of the building, Robert Knotz came in the building around six this morning to do some simple repairs. "I saw the smashed monitors and knew something was wrong so I called for help." Around 6:15 police arrived, they are still working on the investigation.
In the community people are responding saying that this is a very safe neighborhood, and they are surprised something like this happened. Evelyan Breathwhite lives across the parking lot of the building, she recalls some noise around 2 in the morning but thought nothing of it. Investigations are still on going, police are saying this will be a pretty easy case.

Extra practice news story 2: fire
Blaze on Washington Blvd
At roughly 2pm on the corner of 21st and Washington Blvd a fire broke out in Pedro's, a local resturant. Pedro's is a brother owned resturant, being rented from Rachel Calhun. Above the resturant is two stories of apartment complexes. The fire started when Pedro was cooking for his regular customer then as he put it "The grease just spread every where and the smoke came fast." Pedro and the customer got out with no injuries. In the upstairs apartment Miguel Sanchez, Pedro's brother, and his two daughters were having a peaceful afternoon. No one was injured but the two and four year old girls were taken to McKay - Dee hospital for smoke inhalation. These were the only people in the complex at the time. The complex owner had no comment on the blaze.
Pedro has lived in the United States for over a year now, he has started this resturant hoping that his brother will soon be able to help him run the growing business. His brother Miguel Sanchez has only lived in the United States for six months now, he is waiting for his working visa so he can help his brother run the resturant. For the Sanchez family this fire has brought them set backs, but Pedro is looking hopeful, "I like it here in America. I like my resturant, people like it. I would like to keep it going and growing."
