TORONTO – Vernon Adams Jr. and the Calgary Stampeders will be B. C. Lions fans this weekend. Calgary (9-9) finishes its regular season on a bye week after downing B. C. 32-13 on Saturday.

HCSO said that around the same time, they learned of a woman who was at a nearby hospital with multiple stab wounds. Detectives said they connected the two incidents and identified the woman's ex-boyfriend as the alleged attacker. The suspect reportedly arrived at the hospital while deputies were still there, and he was arrested.
