* ROLLOVER DEATH -- One person was killed this morning when the car in which the victim was riding rolled over, Metro Police said. The victim, whose name was not released pending notification of relatives, was driving at 6:36 a.m. on Spring Mountain Road west of Decatur Boulevard when the accident occurred, police said.
* GIRL CAUGHT -- A 13-year-old Las Vegas girl missing since Oct. 3 is now in Juvenile Hall after being caught shoplifting at the Meadows Mall. Metro Police took Liza Marie Miller into custody Friday, said Metro Police Detective Victor Vigna. Charges are pending. Details on her arrest were not available. Miller was reported missing by her grandmother earlier this month when she failed to return home after a supposed trip with friends to a casino.
* TOTO IN CLASS -- Toto, a guide dog in training, is finally going to school after a bitter battle with the Clark County School District that went all the way to the Nevada Supreme Court. Toto is the latest trainee of Pittman Elementary School music teacher Anne Gifford, who has been fighting the school district over bringing her canine to class with her. She has been training guide dogs for years. The dispute began two years ago when Gifford brought Maria, a golden retriever guide dog trainee, to class with her. School officials balked at the idea, saying some students suffer allergic reactions to animals. Gifford wanted to bring the canine to class to give it more exposure to people. Gifford took the issue to District Court, and won. The school district appealed the case to the state Supreme Court, where Gifford won again last month, on a 3-2 decision.
