3 students dead after shooting in Michigan high school |
A 15-year-old student was taken into custody Tuesday after authorities say he fatally shot three students and injured six people , including a teacher, at a high school north of Detroit. The student, a sophomore, was arrested within minutes of the shooting, said Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe. The student fired anywhere from 15 to 20 shots during the attack, McCabe said. A motive wasn't clear. One handgun, a semi-automatic, was recovered. The suspect, whose name was not released, invoked his right to remain silent, McCabe said. "I'm shocked," said Tim Throne, Oxford Community Schools Superintendent. "It's devastating." |

'Wrong gun' or manslaughter? Former officer goes on trial in Daunte Wright's death |
Jury selection began Tuesday in the manslaughter trial of a former Minnesota police officer who shot a Black man while yelling "Taser" during a traffic stop this year. Kim Potter, 49, is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Daunte Wright, 20, in a Minneapolis suburb. Prosecutors say Potter was a veteran officer who recklessly handled her firearm. Defense attorneys say she made an "innocent mistake," according to court filings. Two days after the shooting, Potter and the police chief resigned. She had been with the Brooklyn Center police for 26 years. |

Trump's former chief of staff agrees to cooperate with Jan. 6 committee |
Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is cooperating with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection , possibly averting a contempt citation for defying the panel's subpoena for documents and testimony. Committee Chairman Bernie Thompson, D-Miss., said Meadows, who initially refused to cooperate, "has been engaging with the Select Committee through his attorney." Thompson said Meadows has produced records and will appear for an initial deposition. But Thompson noted that his cooperation did not rule out future action. The committee subpoenaed Meadows for his communications with Trump on Jan. 6 and with organizers of a rally where the president spoke before a mob attacked the Capitol. |

CDC adjusts guidance on booster shots after new variant emerges |
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday recommended that all adults get a COVID-19 booster shot after the emergence of the new omicron variant. The CDC had advised people over 50 or those living in a long-term care facility "should" get a booster, while all other adults "may" get boosters at least six months after their previous shots. Now all adults should get a booster, the CDC said. The CDC's guidance comes two days before President Joe Biden said he would release details on how his administration planned to combat COVID-19 this winter with vaccines, boosters and testing rather than lockdowns. |

Brian Kelly bolts for Baton Rouge |
The college football coaching carousel continued to spin Monday as LSU announced Brian Kelly would its next head coach. Kelly's decision to leave Notre Dame for LSU is shocking given how well-established he has been as the school's winningest coach in history at 113-40. Plus, 11-1 Notre Dame is still in contention for the College Football Playoff should one of the current contenders like Cincinnati, Michigan or Oklahoma State lose in their conference championship games. Kelly's move to the SEC comes less than a day after Lincoln Riley's surprising move to USC from Oklahoma, another established program with recent success. |
