Police say a man has been arrested in connection with a shooting that killed one person and critically injured another near the Washington State University campus.

DETROIT – A now viral video of a woman bleeding on the floor of Brandon’s Liquor Store in Detroit has been making rounds all over social media, sparking outrage. The owner of the store and man behind the alleged assault has been arrested. That’s what I get out of this whole situation,” said Warren’s family member, Melvetta Gibson.

The 37-year-old Staley's name is prominent in NFL circles this month as the league's less successful teams plot their next head coaching hire. (AP Photo/Doug Murray, File)COSTA MESA, Calif. – Brandon Staley won't have to move that far for his first head coaching opportunity. Staley agreed to become the Los Angeles Chargers' coach on Sunday night after one season as the defensive coordinator for the crosstown Rams. “It’s not just that Brandon possesses a tremendous football mind that makes him the ideal head coach to lead our team forward,” general manager Tom Telesco said in a statement. He is the third assistant under Rams coach Sean McVay to get an NFL head coaching job, joining Green Bay's Matt LaFleur and Cincinnati's Zac Taylor.

Bernard reacted calmly as the marshall put down the phone and said the execution could proceed. Federal executions during a presidential transfer of power also are rare, especially during a transition from a death-penalty proponent to a president-elect like Biden opposed to capital punishment. They say both Bagleys were likely dead before Bernard set the car on fire, a claim that conflicts with government testimony at trial. After the Bagleys agreed, Vialva, the oldest of the group at 19, pulled a gun and forced them into the trunk. The central question in the decision to sentence Bernard to death was whether Vialva’s gunshots or the fire set by Bernard killed the Bagleys.

But the wet parts could get rather noisyEarly this morning, Brandon and I are monitoring a cluster of severe storms in Wisconsin moving east-southeast. Highs in the upper 80s (31 degrees Celsius), but low to mid 80s (28 to 29 degrees Celsius) in the Thumb. Partly cloudy on Thursday with more afternoon storms possible and, once again, severe storms are possible. Lows near 70 degrees (21 degrees Celsius). Its too early to say if we still have a severe risk Friday, but its certainly not out of the realm of possibility.
