Hernandez charged in 2 more shooting deaths

BOSTON

Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez ambushed and gunned down two men nearly two years ago after a chance encounter inside a nightclub, prosecutors said Thursday in an indictment. Hernandez, already jailed in connection with a man’s 2013 shooting death, was indicted anew on two counts of first-degree murder and other charges in connection with the July 2012 killings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. A third man was wounded in that attack.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in the killing last year of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, whose body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough. He was released by the Patriots last summer after being arrested in Lloyd’s death, and his attorneys said he looks forward to proving his innocence of the new charges.

Hanson leads Duval by 1 at Byron Nelson

IRVING, Texas

David Duval gets only limited chances on the PGA Tour these days, much different than 15 years ago when he was the No. 1 player in the world. So Duval gutted it out Thursday at the Byron Nelson Championship despite the pain from a muscle issue in his right elbow, a day after his stepson had to drive him because he couldn’t even use that arm.

Duval, now 42 years old and ranked 890th in the world, birdied his last three holes — Nos. 7-9 — after pitching in from 57 feet for another birdie at the fifth hole. He shot 4-under 66, a stroke behind leader Peter Hanson and tied with Marc Leishman and Tim Wilkinson.

When Duval finished his round, he had a share of the lead — until Hanson sank a 6-foot putt at No. 18 for his only back-nine birdie. Hanson made the turn at 5 under after shooting 30 on the front side. The Swede couldn’t keep up the pace on the back nine at TPC Four Seasons.
