RICHMOND, Va. — Negotiations to lure the NHL’s Washington Capitals and NBA’s Washington Wizards to northern Virginia have “ended” and the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams “will not move forward,” the city of Alexandria said in a statement Wednesday.
Virginia’s House speaker also confirmed he’d been told that Ted Leonsis, majority owner of the teams, is no longer considering a deal to relocate them from the District of Columbia. House Speaker Don Scott told The Associated Press he had received that news from Justin Wilson, the mayor of Alexandria, where Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had hoped to land the teams.

The development came after an incentive plan offered by Youngkin failed to gain traction in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly.ROCKFORD, Ill. — Four people were killed and five were wounded in stabbings in northern Illinois on Wednesday, authorities said. A suspect is in police custody and was being questioned Wednesday afternoon, according to Rockford Police Chief Carla Redd.
