- A 20-year-old Hoffman Estates man was arrested this morning after he stabbed to death an 18-year-old girl, her father, and her grandmother in their home. Police are not giving a motive, but they are saying it was domestic related.
- A man found his own silver lining in all the vacant foreclosed homes around the area, and moved into an empty mansion in Sugar Grove for over 8 months, even bringing in living room furniture and two large televisions.

- The family of Tyler Fabeck, who was struck and killed on his bicycle at Western and Logan last year, are planning a memorial on the anniversary of his death April 20 to raise awareness about cycling safety.
