Good morning, Yakima.

In Parker, Wash.—two men were arrested after a drive-by shooting that targeted a home where a 57-year-old was approached in a car and threatened before the suspects returned to fire at residents, with one victim receiving a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at a nearby hospital and the suspects booked on felony assault and drive-by shooting charges.

Yakima County sheriffs arrested two men who shot at and threatened two residents at a home and then detained them after one man got a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at a nearby hospital—officers seized the suspects' car and booked them for felony assault and drive-by shooting charges—while officials said the incident is isolated.

The City of Yakima will begin its 2025 irrigation season on April 1 for most of its 11,000 residential and business customers, with full operations anticipated by April 8 and independent systems starting early May.

Researchers tested a new material called Roliner that is made of elastic silicone—letting it inflate or deflate—to help amputees adjust the fit of their prosthetic limb liners using a smartphone.

Six amputees reported fewer sores and a better fit, and researchers said the material may be used in other devices like exoskeletons in the future.
