Man killed by wife, police say
Richardson: She cites self-defense; husband arrested last month
By MARISSA ALANIS / The Dallas Morning News
RICHARDSON, Texas - Richardson police are investigating the death of a 48-year-old man who they say was shot by his wife Saturday night.
Police received a 911 call at 11:04 p.m. Saturday from Linda Weng, 55, who said she had shot her husband, David Weng.
Officers found Mr. Weng dead, apparently from a single gunshot wound to the chest, inside the couple's home in the 2100 block of Plymouth Rock Drive.
Richardson police Sgt. Kevin Perlich said police were investigating the incident as a domestic shooting.
He said Ms. Weng had marks on her body that showed there had been physical contact between the couple before the shooting.
Ms. Weng was treated for minor injuries at the scene. Sgt. Perlich said Ms. Weng was then taken to the Police Department for questioning and was released pending further investigation.
"She is making the claim that it was self-defense and that she was protecting her life," Sgt. Perlich said. "She's very distraught over the whole incident. And unfortunately, there had been a little bit of history there with it."
Last month, Richardson police went to the home and arrested Mr. Weng in connection with a family violence incident, Sgt. Perlich said. Ms. Weng manages a fence company, and her husband worked as a security guard.
Resident Virginia Fortney said the only time she had talked to the couple was when they first moved into the neighborhood about two years ago.
"They have been a very quiet couple," Ms. Fortney said. "But you never know what happens inside the house."
Ms. Fortney said she saw police leaving the home Sunday morning with several guns. Sgt. Perlich said police found guns throughout the home, including various pistols.
Ms. Weng used a gun inside the home to shoot her husband, he said, but police hadn't determined which gun she used.

Abuzz over storm drains
Dragonfly mascot encourages kids to help stop water pollution
By KATIE MENZER / The Dallas Morning News
You might believe some city representatives are rats, but at least one is a dragonfly.
Trinity Trudy is the mascot of Dallas' storm water management department, and it's her job to teach local kids about the dangers of storm water pollution.
But 7-year-old Trinity Trudy has been looking a little long in the tooth. So city officials are planning a makeover for their animated insect to elevate her profile. They hope to create quite a buzz.
Trinity Trudy's makeover is part of a larger outreach and public awareness campaign that the department launched last year to educate Dallas residents about storm water issues.
But one bugging question remains: Can a cartoon dragonfly make kids – or anyone else – care about storm drain management?
"It's not a sexy topic, no," said Gayden Day, who was hired by a marketing company to help Dallas put a new face on Trinity Trudy. "But the concerns about water quality in the city – we haven't raised those issues enough with our children."
Officials said kids – and most adults – don't understand the city's storm water system, which uses drain inlets to remove water runoff from city streets and dump it into the nearest creek, river or lake.
"Storm water is not treated," said Sophia Iliadou Harvey, a senior engineer and manager of the department's outreach team. "So when someone takes their leftover paint and drops it down the drain on their street, they don't realize that it goes directly into a creek or lake."
And that's where Trinity Trudy flies in.
As a dragonfly nymph, she's an immature form of the insect that needs clean water to live in. She was first drawn in 1999 by Tamara Elliott, a former storm water department employee, as a way to use animation to teach children good storm-drain etiquette while they are still young.
"We all then voted on the name Trinity Trudy," Ms. Elliott wrote in an e-mail from Iraq, where she is now working on a water purification system. "Trinity derived from the Trinity River, and Trudy derived in the sense that she would be true to her environment."
Trudy is featured in activity books, magnets, stickers and a Web site that explains the "secret world of storm drains." She's also the only dragonfly nymph mascot costume known to man, officials believe.
Employees don the outfit when they visit classrooms or eco-friendly events to spread the word about storm water maintenance.
"Whoever can fit into it, wears it," Ms. Harvey said.
Although the first Trinity Trudy – with her freckles, white shirt and blue fishing hat – was undeniably adorable, officials said they decided last year to change her from a slightly frumpy insect to a slightly muscular heroine who encourages children to recycle and to scold their parents for dumping motor oil in the driveway.
A local comic book company gave Trudy a complete overhaul, giving her large eyes like those of characters found in anime cartoons and a slimmer figure.
"We tried to make her look like what kids are watching on television now," said Ms. Day, who owns the Rocket Red advertising agency.
They've given Trudy a new activity book and buttons and are designing a new costume.
They've also given her a big sister, Brook, an adult dragonfly who can help her baby bug sibling explain complex terms like "bioassessment" and "floatable debris."
Although Dallas is the only city in the area with a mascot for storm water management, other U.S. cities also use cartoon characters to teach kids about pollution.
Eugene, Ore., has Lily, a Pacific green tree frog that visits area classrooms to caution kids against storm water malfeasance. Then there's Sammy Salmon, the storm water "spokesfish" for Sacramento, Calif.
And Storm Drain Dan battles a weed killer nemesis in a coloring book created by the city of Phoenix's storm drain department.
"Storm Drain Dan is a concrete storm drain pipe, who magically came to life one day," according to the coloring book. "He wants to help everyone in Phoenix and the Valley understand that it is important to keep our storm drains and desert environment clean."
Fort Worth has Captain Crud. He battles the "Cruddies," which represent environmental and recycling hazards such as pesticides and plastic bottles.

Parking meters in Deep Ellum to be free on weekdays
By CHRIS HEINBAUGH / WFAA ABC 8
DALLAS, Texas -- Beginning today you won't have to feed the parking meters on weekdays in Deep Ellum. Dallas parking officials say the meters will be free from 6 in the morning until 6 at night, Monday through Friday.
Dallas Parking Enforcement manager Zena Fernino says, the city’s trying to boost the day time economy in Deep Ellum. “We noticed during the day, a very low occupancy rate,” said Ms. Fernino. “We hope this will get workers in the Central Business District to come over and eat at Deep Ellum restaurants.”
Ms. Fernino says this is a test program that will last a year.
Many restaurants and shops in the area have been pressing for this move for more than a year. Combined with new zoning changes to reduce crime from night clubs, a rise in new residential housing, and 2 new DART light rail stations that will be built by 2009. Deep Ellum boosters say the stage is being set for a major rebound.

Police probe 4-year-old's death
DALLAS, Texas (The Dallas Morning News) - Police are investigating the death of a 4-year-old girl early Monday in southwest Dallas.
Dallas police said they received a 911 call around 6 a.m. from a woman who said her child was unconscious.
Emergency workers answered the call at an apartment building in the 1100 block of South Beckley Avenue. They rushed Liseth Nunez to Methodist Charlton Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Police, who are interviewing family members, said the death is suspicious.
The Nunez family had been renting the apartment for over a year, said apartment manager Julia Munoz. She said Liseth and her 7-year-old brother often played with other children living there.
Mrs. Munoz said she couldn’t recall a time when the police were called out to the family’s apartment.
Staff writer Matthew Haag and WFAA-TV reporter Cynthia Vega contributed to this report.

Police: Nurse stole elderly patient's fortune
By REBECCA RODRIGUEZ / WFAA ABC 8
DECATUR, Texas — Age robs people of many things.
Trust shouldn't be one of them.
But registered nurse Debra Warren faces charges of that she stole nearly $200,000—a lifetime of savings—from elderly nursing home patient Louise Fuller.
"From mother's perspective, she was taking care of her and couldn't do enough for her," said Joe Fuller, the alleged victim's son. "She felt like she was an angel."
Warren befriended Louise Fuller at Governor's Ridge assisted living center in Decatur.
Police say the nurse has confessed to forging checks, stealing credit cards and even cashing in the 88-year-old woman's life insurance policy.
Warren's alleged actions went unoticed until Joe Fuller took over his mother's finances in May.
"I think she was just going off and buying anything she wanted with this woman's money," said Decatur police Chief Rex Hoskins.
Warren paid off Fuller's bills, and police said she made generous donations to the elderly woman's church every month. But for the most part, police said Fuller didn't have any idea how much money Warren—whom police describe as a classic compulsive spender—had taken.
Police said Warren used some of the pilfered cash to pay property taxes on her Wise County home, and she purchased several horses.
Investigators are looking for other assests to help rebuild some of Fuller's savings, but they admit that most of her fortune might be gone for good.
"It was probably one of the worst things you can do—taking advantage of an elderly person that is sick," Chief Hoskins said.
Decatur police said Warren would be arrested within the next few days.
It will take the Fullers much longer to put this behind.
"We've always known there's bad people out there," Joe Fuller said. "You just don't recognize them when you see them."

Police seek early warning on club crime
By REBECCA LOPEZ / WFAA ABC 8
DALLAS, Texas - Shootings, stabbings and murders. You've seen reports about all these crimes recently in downtown Dallas.
That's why police and business owners are now trying to calm public fear about going downtown when the sun goes down.
Police have added more patrols and they are meeting with nightclub owners to talk about security inside their establishments. Officers say they want to know as soon as trouble starts inside—before violence spills out onto the streets.
"Of course nightlife and restraurant life is getting busier, but it is still attracting the wrong crowd," said downtown Dallas resident Charlie Price.
He and others are concened about recent violence, including:
• A shooting incident Sunday morning involving alleged gang members. Two people were killed.
• A July shooting in which 11 people were struck by bullets.
Both happened downtown outside nightclubs. Deputy Chief Brian Harvey said these crimes also have something else in common. "In each one of these cases, something has happened inside the four walls inside that establishment that hasn't been communicated to us until the disturbance is outside," he said.
By then, police said, it's often too late to avoid bloodshed.
Reports of these crimes are making some people hesitant about heading downtown to enjoy the nightlife.
"We are not only concerned about downtown's image, we are concerned about downtown safety," said Peter Armato, president of the DowntownDallas lobbying group. "We are doing something about it."
Business owners are working with police to secure additional patrols. Police have responded by adding more officers, and they say they are working hard to crack down on clubs where crimes continue to happen.
"We are going to do everything possible to do that," Chief Harvey said.
Police emphasize that downtown Dallas is safe, and despite the latest incidents, downtown crime is down.
Officials won't reveal the numbers of extra officers on patrol, but they will say that anyone who needs to flag down an officer to let them know about troubles inside a club should have no problems finding one.

Plano water may smell, taste funny
PLANO, Texas (WFAA ABC 8) - The City of Plano says people may notice a stinky change in the water supply. But there's nothing to worry about.
The annual algal bloom is to blame. It usually happens between late July and early August and can last three to five weeks. The bloom can change the taste and smell of tap water, but the North Texas Municipal Water District says it does not affect the water's quality.
The NTMWD also takes steps to try to reduce the bloom's impact on taste and odor by adding potassium permanganate and activated carbon during the water treatment process. Chlorine also helps. But regardless of taste or smell, the city says people should not be alarmed. The water is safe.
_____________________________________________________________
Oh, great. The funny-smelling/tasting water from Plano made news, but why hasn't Irving's made in April?
