Worland

It was a dangerous situation that required careful management on the part of first responders.

Firefighters from the BLM and Washakie County responded, as did two single-engine air tankers.

One of the officers was knocked unconscious, and the other shot the man in the abdomen as he approached.

The Bighorn River at Worland is expected to fluctuate between 11.2 and 11.5 feet. Flood stage is 10.5 feet.

The Washakie County Homemakers trace their origins to the 1920s.

Combs' truck was found May 25 in a roadside ditch halfway between Ten Sleep and Worland.

Up to one and a half inches of rain will add to the snowfall runoff and may cause flooding.

Prosecutors say Mendoza later returned to the scene and shot at three people who'd responded to the attack.

Rapid snowmelt and ice jams caused the Bighorn River to flood parts of Worland in Washakie County last weekend.

Authorities also evacuated Worland's swimming pool, Seventh Day Adventist Church School, preschool, National Guard Armory and bus barn.
