GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A dispute over text messages sent to a woman in Grand Junction led to an armed standoff with four people arrested.
Authorities say 24-year-old Matthew Ray Williford was arguing with another man Saturday over text messages sent to Williford's sister, 19-year-old Breanne Arabie.

Police say that later in the night Williford, Arabie and two other friends went to a residence where the texter was playing cards. People at the card party told police that Williford pointed a .45-caliber pistol at them and threatened to shoot them. No one was injured.

Williford and his sister and the two friends then left but were pulled over by sheriff's deputies. All four are being held in the Mesa County Jail awaiting bond hearings.e first footsteps on the moon - made by Armstrong July 20, 1969, on the mission known as Apollo 11 - came 3 1/2 years before the last ones.

So now what?

That question preoccupies NASA and worries the Obama administration. The president said in March that NASA is beset by "a sense of drift." Even some of the men who once walked on the moon are divided on how to proceed. Options could include going back to the moon, landing on an asteroid, shooting for Mars or even ending human exploration of space altogether.

Bush tried to give NASA a sense of purpose, ordering the agency in 2004 to retire the space shuttle and return humans to the moone first footsteps on the moon - made by Armstrong July 20, 1969, on the mission known as Apollo 11 - came 3 1/2 years before the last ones.

Bush never publicly mentioned the plan again and didn't add much to NASA's budget for it. The public yawned. Bush never publicly mentioned the plan again and didn't add much to NASA's budget for it.
