Tolleson police said its officers responded to an apartment complex near 91st Avenue and McDowell Road, which is at the Tolleson-Phoenix border, around 5:40 p.m. for reports of a man waving a knife.
Tolleson officials said the man then went from the apartment complex to a neighboring hotel and was threatening bystanders with the knife. Shortly after that, Phoenix police said its officers were called to another hotel across the street after the man was reported to have run toward that hotel and into the lobby.

- Nearly 200 families experiencing homelessness are waiting for a spot to open at the state’s largest provider for homeless families, and leaders say they are losing hope.
Even as triple-digit temperatures fade in the Valley, advocates say the need is growing and the system is struggling to keep up.
City and county programs funded with tax dollars, like the Arizona Housing Hub, are working to place families, but the backlog is large. Families could wait more than six weeks for housing placement.
For those on day one of homelessness after a missed paycheck or eviction with nowhere to go, nonprofits are stepping in with an unconventional approach — finding nightly shelter in hotels across the Valley.

Gov. Katie Hobbs is responding after Arizona joined Nevada in a lawsuit over federal Colorado River water cuts. Hobbs says the legal action protects the Lower Basin agreement while pushing back against portions of the federal decision Arizona opposes. The state is set to lose 760,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water per year for the next two years under the plan. Hobbs says Arizona knew cuts were coming, but warned a much deeper reduction would be devastating. State officials are now working with communities and water users as the cuts take effect next year.

STORY: https://azfamily.news/kp5jebcj
Police say the boy was hit by his family’s SUV in the driveway as the family prepared to leave Friday morning. He was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition, and investigators say impairment and criminal conduct have been ruled out. Kids and Car Safety says children are struck by vehicles 110 times a week nationwide when drivers cannot see them. The incidents often happen in driveways and parking lots, usually involving a child and someone the child knows. Our blind-spot test found that the area a driver cannot see can grow dramatically between a compact SUV and a full-size truck — even with cameras.

Hobbs addressed the question in an Arizona’s Family interview as she campaigns against Republican challenger Andy Biggs.

Attorney General Kris Mayes cleared Hobbs of wrongdoing two months ago but urged stronger limits on such political giving. Hobbs says her office followed the law and supports greater transparency, while noting her proposed reforms stalled in the Republican-controlled Legislature. Biggs’ campaign argues her answer leaves the door open to more contractor donations.

- Maricopa County leaders are working to reassure voters that the election system is safe and secure after County Recorder Justin Heap called the FBI to investigate what turned out to be a false claim of election equipment.
It started late last week with a viral social media post alleging wrongdoing by a couple of county election workers seen inside a secured area late at night. Heap contacted the FBI, but the follow-up investigation turned up nothing.
The October 9 post reads "busted" and shows county workers in the secure vote tabulation center at 10:30 at night.

The 71-year-old pontiff announced that doctors found a localized lung nodule at an early stage during Sunday Mass. The Vatican says his postoperative recovery is progressing normally, but has not confirmed the cancer stage.
His diagnosis is sparking a global push for more lung cancer screenings and early detection. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. and worldwide, according to the World Health Organization — and about 20% of cases occur in people who never smoked, doctors say.
