A San Antonio police officer writing
out a traffic ticket to a motorist was shot
to death in his squad car Sunday out-
side police headquarters by another
driver who pulled up from behind, au-
thorities said.
San Antonio police Chief William
McManus identified the officer as De-
tective Benjamin Marconi, 50, a 20-
year veteran of the
force.

McManus said the
suspect had not been
apprehended Sunday
night. He said he
doesn’t believe the
man has any relation-
ship to the original
motorist who was
pulled over, and no motive has been
identified.
“We consider this suspect to be ex-
tremely dangerous and a clear threat to
law enforcement officers and the pub-
lic,” said McManus, who added that af-
ter the shooting, officers had been in-
structed to not make traffic stops alone.
McManus said Marconi had pulled
over a vehicle and while he was inside
his squad car writing a ticket, a car pull-
ed up behind him. The driver of that car
got out, walked up to the officer’s driver-
side window and shot Marconi twice in
the head, then walked back to his car
and drove away.

Denton teen knows she wants music to be her life

115 years old, Denton native Layne Polise-
no, known by her stage name Layne Eliza-
beth, has more experience performing
than many up-and-coming area artists twice her
age, and she shows no signs of slowing down.
The young singer has been gigging around the
Dallas-Fort Worth area since she was 10, and she
recently returned from two trips to Los Angeles,
where she performed for a Universal Music Group
corporate function and tried her hand at open-
mic nights.
“It was a small, intimate gig,” Layne said of her
Universal set. “It was a casual party — everyone
was hanging out in a backyard. I took a lot of re-
quests.”
First performing with her band the Back-Up
Plan at Cumberland Presbyterian Children’s
Home, Layne has grown in recent years as a solo
performer, with her first unaccompanied gig at the
Prophet Bar in Dallas. Layne is currently enrolled
at iSchool High in Hickory Creek, where she is in
the charter school’s media arts music program.
Layne’s mother, Melissa Poliseno, said she was
exhibiting a bit of stage fright prior to her first per-
formance, but the feeling passed when she took
the stage.
“She got off and immediately asked, ‘When can
we do that again?”’ Poliseno said.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - President-
elect Donald Trump said Sunday that he
had “made a couple of deals” after spend-
ingthe weekend meetingwith alonglistof
potential administration appointees, but
he did not reveal any more picks.
Trump and the vice president-elect,
Mike Pence, did drop some hints. Pence
said Mitt Romney was “under active and
serious consideration” to become the na-
tion’s next secretary of state. Trump said
retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis
was an “impressive” prospect for defense
secretary.
“I think we have some really incredible
people going to be working for the coun-
try,” Trump said Sunday evening. ‘We re-
ally had some incredible meetings. You’ll
be hearing about them soon.”
Among the visitors to the white-pil-
lared clubhouse Sunday were Kansas Sec-
retary of State Kris Kobach, billionaire in-
vestor Wilbur Ross and retired Marine
Gen. John Kelly, the former commander
of U.S. Southern Command.
Between conversations, Trump re-
vealed he was making plans for transition-
ing his family. He told reporters that his
wife, Melania, and their 10-year-old son,
Barron, would move to Washington when
the school year ends.
And Trump turned to Twitter to share
some of his thinking. In between criti-
cisms of Saturday Night Live, the hit

Trump children: Trustees, colleagues, more?
FIND IT INSIDE
For the past year, the lines were constantly
blurred between political campaign and
business empire, raising questions about a
possible conflict of interest between
Trump’s White House and his sprawling
business interests.
The children are poised to wield in-
credible influence over their father, even if
they don’t follow him to Washington.
Trump said consistently during the cam-
paign that if he won, those children would
stay in New York and run his business. But
the three — plus Ivanka’s husband, Jared
Kushner — were all named to the transi-
tion team’s executive committee.
So far, they’ve been heavily involved in
shaping the new administration. They’ve
sat in on meetings and taken late-night
calls from their father. They advocated for
making Reince Priebus, the Republican
National Committee chairman, the White
House chief of staff. They counseled
against bringing back Corey Lewandow-
ski, Trump’s first campaign manager, who
was fired in June on their advice.

NEW YORK — Nearly every morning
since their father’s stunning victory on
Election Day, three of Donald Trump’s
grown children walk through the Trump
Tower lobby and board an elevator. But
are Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric going to the
campaign office on the fifth floor? Their
business offices on the 25th floor? The
president-elect’s penthouse on the 56th
floor?
