A Chicago prosecutor is dropping sex-abuse charges against singer R. Kelly. The decision follows federal convictions in two different courts that ensure the disgraced R&B star will be locked up for decades.

Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, who helped the Chicago Blackhawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup Final, has died. Hull was 84. The two-time MVP was one of the most prolific scorers in NHL history, leading the league in goals seven times. Nicknamed “The Golden Jet” for his speed and blond hair, he posted 13 consecutive seasons with 30 goals or more from 1959-72. Hull and Stan Mikita powered Chicago to the NHL title in 1961. Hull remains the Blackhawks’ career leader with 62 playoff goals. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and his No. 9 sweater was retired by Chicago that same year.
Police in Nebraska say a pair of officers were wounded and a suspect was killed in a shootout during an attempted burglary Monday night. Omaha Police Chief Todd R. Schmaderer says the two officers responded to a report of a burglary at a storage business around 10:30 p.m. Employees let the officers into the building and they exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was killed. The Omaha World-Herald reports police did not immediately identify the white, male suspect in his early 30s. The officers were transported to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha by ambulance and police cruiser. One officer was shot near his knee and the other officer was shot through his upper leg. Neither injury was reported as life-threatening.
