>> City offers $15.5M for possible stadium site: The Chronicle reports that the city has said it'll pay more than $15.5 million for five downtown blocks that could become the site of a stadium for the Dynamo. The parcel is bounded by Texas and Walker on the north and south and Dowling and Hutchins on the east and west; it's just east of the Lofts at the Ballpark and immediately south of a vast Minute Maid Park parking lot. The city's offer assumes the land is worth $49 a square foot, which is less than an outside assessor's estimate of $50 to $55 but way, more than Harris County's appraisal of $12.50 a square foot. The offer doesn't mean a stadium on the site is a done deal, though: Andy Icken, the city's deputy director for public works and engineering, said a stadium will only be built if the city can reach an acceptable agreement with the Dynamo owners.

So here's a new twist on the old bank robbery story: Monday morning, police shot a suspected robber to death in a Jack in the Box restaurant, where she was apparently trying to get bags to put the stolen cash in. HPD said the woman robbed a Wells Fargo branch in the 2800 block of Hillcroft at about 9:30 a.m., then ran across the street to the Jack in the Box for bags. Police arrived and cornered the woman in the restaurant; when the cops came in, she pulled out what looked like a .45 caliber semiautomatic. Police asked her to drop the gun and she didn't, so they opened fire: One officer fired one shot and the other fired two.
