CFH Guest Shot at East Race: CFH guest Ron Miller was shot in the arm while sitting at the East Race yesterday.

Ron and one of two teenagers struggled over his bicycle; the 17-year-old pulled a .38 revolver and shot him, wounding him in the wrist.

“It doesn’t make any sense to us why someone would resort to that level of violence over a bicycle,” said South Bend Police Captain Phil Trent.

The teens—the alleged shooter and a 14-year-old--were arrested after a short chase and indentified by a witness. They left their bicycle and Ron’s.

Ron’s injuries were treated at the hospital and he was back at CFH the same night.

Tiger Has More Knee Surgery; Season Over: Tiger Woods will have more surgery on his left knee, ending his season.

Woods had already missed part of the season after having an arthroscopic procedure two days after the Masters in April. He came back and won last weekend’s U.S. Open, but he was visibly wincing from the pain.

Tiger will undergo reconstructive surgery to the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. The recovery time for that type of surgery can be from six to eight months.

Tiger said in a news release on his web site that he ruptured the ligament last summer while running near his home in Florida after the British Open.

The release also said that had a double stress fracture of his left tibia.

American Musical Star Cyd Charisse Dies: Cyd Charisse, in her late 80s, died Tuesday morning in Los Angeles.

Charisse starred in Hollywood musicals during the 1940s and 50s, sharing the screen with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelley. Her legs were insured for $5-million.

Charisse appeared in “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Brigadoon,” and “It’s Always Fair Weather,” among other musicals.

Death Toll, Pessimism Rises in Zimbabwe: The pre-election death and injury toll continues to mount in Zimbabwe and observers are skeptical that the June 27 presidential run-off will be fair.

Four members of the Movement for Democratic Change were reportedly killed in a firebombing yesterday. That brings the toll since the March general election to approximately 70 killed and more than 1,000 wounded.

Morgan Tsvangirai—who outpolled incumbent Robert Mugabe in the general election 48%-43%--has been detained five times since then. The MDC number two, Tendai Biti, is under arrest on treason charges. Mugabe has threatened to arrest Tsvangirai.

The MDC has been denied the right to advertise in state-run media.

Observers are increasingly skeptical that the run-off will be fair.
