An 18-year-old was charged with murder following the shooting death of a 19-year-old woman back in February, the Temple Police Department said Thursday.
On Feb. 24, Temple police responded to a shooting just after midnight in the 1800 block of E. French Avenue. Officers found Claire Hernandez suffering from a gunshot wound and transported her to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center where she later died, police said.
But apparently there was a lot of Netflix-watching going on â especially in Bell County.
Births have dropped dramatically across the United States, according to an Associated Press report, and the decrease locally is much steeper.
Births in the U.S. during December 2020 and in January and February 2021 â nine months or more after the spring 2020 shutdowns â were down 8 percent compared with the same months a year earlier.
Bell County, however, saw a much sharper decline.
According to numbers supplied by County Clerk Shelley Coston and the Temple City Secretaryâs office, births in Bell County plunged 14.3 percent during the same time frame.
“He understands that it’s not just one person,” said Aleya Campos, ICU RN at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Plano. “He realizes that it’s a team effort and it means so much that he takes time to come and thank us over and over.”
Ugge was at the hospital for six weeks, and part of that time was spent on a ventilator.
When he was taken off the ventilator, Campos asked him what he needed. Ugge’s response was heartbreaking.
“Pull the plug,” Ugge said. “She was trying to help me. I told her to tell my family to pull the plug. That was my sentiment at that time. I thought that was the easiest way out of the situation.”

AUSTIN, TX Several Austin area hospitals received top safety marks while others didn t quite measure up in The Leapfrog Group s annual spring safety grades released Thursday.
The nonprofit health care watchdog group grades hospitals twice a year, assigning letter grades from A to F based on each hospital s ability to protect patients from preventable errors, accidents, injuries and infections.
More than 2,700 general, acute-care U.S. hospitals were assessed for Leapfrog s Spring Safety Grades. Among those hospitals, 27 have achieved 19 consecutive A grades in every biannual grading cycle since Leapfrog launched the safety grades in spring 2012.
