The suspect in the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers visited the homes of other state officials. Two New Orleans fugitives are still on the run, 30 days after escaping jail. And there's a new, sort-of-presidential cellular service. |
Minnesota shooting suspect captured and charged |
Vance Boelter, the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers, went to the homes of two other state officials the morning he launched a targeted "political assassination," said Joseph Thompson, the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota. Boelter drove to the houses of the other state officials after he shot and wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours Saturday. Boelter was arrested Sunday night in rural Sibley County, about 50 miles from Minneapolis, after state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed, and Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times and wounded. |
'Stuff of nightmares': Boelter faces six federal charges, including multiple counts of murder and stalking. Minnesota state prosecutors said they plan to pursue first-degree murder charges against Boelter. Thompson, the acting U.S. attorney for Minnesota, said Boelter's "crimes are the stuff of nightmares." 👉 Follow the latest updates. | A makeshift memorial for Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party State Rep.

Travel warning to Israel amid conflict with Iran |
Americans are advised not to travel to Israel after another wave of Iranian missile attacks struck the country and killed at least eight people. The State Department on Monday classified travel to Israel and the West Bank as level 4, or "do not travel," the highest advisory level on the U.S. government's scale and one associated with life-threatening risks. Americans who are already in countries that have a "do not travel" warning are advised by the State Department to leave as soon as it is safe to do so. Israel launched a bombing campaign against Tehran late last week to limit its nuclear enrichment capabilities. Iran has returned fire on Israel, striking the heavily populated city of Tel Aviv and setting off air raid sirens in Jerusalem.

30 days since New Orleans jailbreak |
It was like a scene out of a Hollywood movie. Thirty days ago, 10 men broke out of a New Orleans jail, prompting a manhunt for two escapees still on the run. The fugitives, some facing charges for violent crimes including second-degree murder, escaped after pulling off the sink-toilet unit affixed to the wall just after midnight May 16. But it wasn't until the morning that authorities knew fugitives escaped Orleans Parish Prison. In the days and weeks after the escape, authorities caught most of the fugitives. Authorities are still looking for Antoine Massey, 32, and Derrick Groves, 27. 👉 Inside the New Orleans jailbreak and manhunt. | Jail employee arrested after New Orleans jailbreak Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office |
