A 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree assault for shooting a person in Fairbanks on June.

The 550-acre Starry Fire was reported Saturday evening just south of Anderson.

“We are definitely not in the clear, given the forecast that we have,” a state climatologist said.

Park officials identified the victim as Robin Pendery of Washington state, a seasonal mountaineering ranger assigned to Denali National Park and Preserve.

The declaration covers areas near Chalkyitsik on the Black River and Hughes on the Koyukuk River, which were struck by rapidly rising water over the last week.

Meteorologists say record cold temperatures this winter likely thickened river ice, which could make this year’s breakup more dangerous.

Protestors rallied in Fairbanks this month to call for greater transparency for families of police shooting victims.

Law enforcement officers and a SWAT team converged on a middle school in Fairbanks Thursday after getting a report of what officials later determined was false information about gunshots at the school on the north side of town.

The state Department of Transportation will hold a series of virtual meetings this week to ask Alaskans for input on a 30-year transportation plan.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that 11th Airborne Division soldiers from Alaska have been told to stand down after receiving orders last month to prepare to deploy to Minnesota.
