Here’s a neat story from the Sherman Animal Shelter.

After spending 17 days away from her home, a local dog named Alice was reunited with her family this week after a community member spotted her and contacted the shelter.

Alice and her family later stopped by with a thank you card and some bundt cakes for Cheyenne and the rest of the shelter staff.

We thought it was a kind gesture, and we’re glad Alice is back home.

It’s been a little bit since we checked in with the Sherman Animal Shelter, so we stopped by this morning to say hi to some of the residents.

The shelter is currently near capacity, and we met a few good-looking pups who would probably tell you they prefer a couch or backyard over another night in the kennel.

As your summer gets underway, consider adopting, fostering, or even volunteering. For families looking for something positive to be part of this summer, the shelter is a great place to start.

On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 4:44 p.m., Sherman Police began receiving multiple emergency phone calls about shots fired in the 1300-block of West Taylor Street. It was determined the shooting occurred at a residence.

Officers arrived and were directed to 35-year-old Tara Gill, who was reportedly responsible for the shooting. Gill was detained while the investigation continued.

Detectives determined Gill was inside the residence with four other individuals, three of whom were her children. Gill was reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis when she retrieved a pistol and discharged multiple rounds in the direction of the individuals inside the residence.

Nobody was injured by the gunfire. However, one of the individuals inside the residence sustained a minor injury after climbing through a broken window while escaping the scene.

Gill was ultimately arrested on four counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Officers also applied for emergency protective orders on behalf of the victims.

Sherman PD’s Criminal Investigation Division is leading the ongoing investigation.
