PROBLEM: Texas guard Andrew Jones  is battling leukemia  the school announced Wednesday.
 Jones  is the Longhornsâ second-leading scorer this season and was coming off a wrist injury when coaches noticed  he  was sluggish and playing with little energy. A sophomore who decided to return to school this year instead of entering the NBA draft   Jones  saw limited action the last two games as  he  attempted to come back from the injury that cost  him  four games last month. Something much more serious was at play.
âAfter undergoing a number of tests and evaluations over the past week   Andrew  has been diagnosed with leukemia â the  Jones  family said in a statement. â He  has begun treatments  and we hope everyone will keep  him  in your thoughts and prayers.â
In statement posted on Twitter  Texas athletics director Chris Del Conte pledged the schoolâs full support and said  âWe will do everything in our power to provide all of the resources we can to assist  Andrew  and  his  family.â
Last Thursday  Texas coach Shaka Smart indicated  Jones  âhas not had the energy â and  âweâre trying to figure out through the different testing what his ailment is. Thereâs something else  some type of sickness.â

"Speaking for our entire team and staff  we love  Andrew  and will do everything we can to support  his  family and help  him  get back to health â Smart said in a statement. âI want to thank everyone for being respectful of the privacy that the Jones family needs at this time.â
 Jones  played 11 minutes on Jan. 1 and the school said  he  saw limited action because  Jones  was under the weather  according to reports.
âIâd love to have  him  back to 1 000 percent today. But  he âs not just been feeling like  himself  â Smart had said. âItâs not for lack of trying â¦  He  goes out there and really  really wants to play  obviously and wants to help  his  team. But  he  just  to this point  has not had the energy.â
 Jones  has started treatment  which can vary depending on how fast  his  leukemia is growing. For more aggressive strains  treatment would include chemotherapy  radiation  and possibly stem-cell transplants.

PROBLEM: Firing from the 32nd floor of a hotel near the cityâs world famous neon-lit Strip  at night  at a range of 500 yards with an arsenal of high-velocity semi-automatic weapons modified to shoot rapidly   gunman Stephen Paddock  had pulled the city into a nightmare that left him virtually unopposed for crucial minutes  with police unable to safely return fire.
 Paddock  sprayed bullets continuously on the concert crowd of 22 000 people for about 10 minutes  starting at 10:05 p.m. PT (1:05 a.m. ET on Monday)  according to Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo. Police blew open Paddockâs hotel room door 75 minutes after the shooting started  finding he had killed himself.
âIt did cause some challenges logistically  being outgunned like that â said Lieutenant Reggie Rader  one of the MACTAC team members. He said officers did their best to get as quickly as possible to the hotel room from which  Paddock  was firing.
Seroka said that many hotels in Las Vegas are equipped with technology to detect projectiles like cigarette butts coming off balconies and to pinpoint the room  but said there are no balconies at the Mandalay Bay hotel where  Paddock  had set up.
Seroka  a former U.S. Air Force colonel and veteran of both Gulf Wars  lamented the length of time  Paddock  ultimately had to shoot at the crowd. âNine minutes is an eternity when you are taking fire â he said.
