    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|Oct 7, 2017

    WORLAND — The Las Vegas gunman possessed a little-known device called a “bump stock” that was not widely sold — until now. Originally created with the idea of making it easier for people with disabilities to shoot a gun, the attachments allow a semi-automatic rifle to mimic a fully automatic weapon by unleashing an entire large magazine in seconds.

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Oct 7, 2017

    WORLAND - A loss is a loss whether it's by 20 points or seven, but the close losses feel as if they stick with you more, and at times can feel like an extra loss when looking back on the missed opportunities.
