Good morning, Rockford.

Rockford police said a man died after being hit by a car on N.

2nd Street at Auburn last night — all northbound lanes were closed before the road reopened, and the investigation is ongoing.

Rockford police said on April 19th that a suspect shot a K-9 during a traffic stop on E.

State Street when he tried to flee on foot — the K-9 was taken to an emergency vet and the suspect is in custody.

On April 17 at around 7:30 a.m., Rockford police arrested Sean Fox, 49, on charges of domestic battery causing bodily harm and criminal property damage when he punched a woman four times in the head and broke household items during an argument on the 500 block of North 2nd Street.

Over 100 young girls attended the Rockford Elite Girls’ Basketball Camp at UW Health Sports Factory on Saturday where Chicago Sky players Michaela Onyewere and Courtney Vandersloot coached and shared their hope to boost local interest in youth basketball—hoping that the training will help reverse recent declines in girls’ sports participation.
