Texas police arrest man accused of killing 5 neighbours after 4-day manhunt

killing five neighbors ended Tuesday not far from the site of the shooting when authorities, acting on a tip, said they found the suspect hiding underneath a pile of laundry in the closet of a house.Francisco Oropeza, 38, was captured without incident near Houston and about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from his home in the rural town of Cleveland, where authorities say he went next door and shot his neighbors with an AR-style rifle after some of them had asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because it was keeping a baby awake.“They can rest easy now, because he is behind bars,” San Jacinto County Greg Capers said of the families of the victims. “He will live out his life behind bars for killing those five.”The arrest happened near Conroe, ending what had become a widening dragnet that had grown to more than 250 people from multiple jurisdictions.

U.S. ending COVID-19 vaccine mandates for travellers, federal workers

COVID-19 vaccine requirement for international travellers entering the United States next week, the White House announced Monday.The mandate for air travellers, as well as a separate order covering federal government workers and contractors, will come to an end on May 11 — the same day the national public health emergency related to the pandemic will be lifted.The administration will also “start the process to end” vaccine mandates for early childhood educators in the Head Start program, health-care workers and “certain noncitizens at the land border” on the same day, a statement from the White House said.“Our COVID-19 vaccination requirements bolstered vaccination across the nation, and our broader vaccination campaign has saved millions of lives,” the statement said.The White House added the U.S. is “in a different phase of our response to COVID-19 than we were when many of these requirements were put into place” in 2021.At the time they were announced, those mandates and others covered more than 100 million Americans.The lifting of the vaccine mandate for incoming travellers comes months after Canada’s own program was allowed to expire.

Sudan, National Defence Minister Anita Anand says.Anand did not share details other than saying the evacuation flight occurred on an RCAF C-130 Hercules aircraft. She promised further details will come in an announcement Thursday morning in Enfield, N.S.“We’re operating almost in real time, and we want to make sure that we have all the details in place,” she said.“We needed to make sure that conditions are safe and secure on the ground, and that we had space on the airfield – that’s actively occurring right now and will continue to occur, making sure that we have the conditions that are in place for not only the flight that I have mentioned, but additional evacuations that we are planning over the next number of days.”About 200 members of the Canadian Armed Forces have deployed to the region along with military planes and ships for evacuation operations.Hundreds of people have been killed in nearly two weeks of conflict between the army and a rival paramilitary force, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are locked in a power struggle threatening to destabilize the wider region.A shaky 72-hour ceasefire has allowed nations to evacuate their citizens, but it’s set to expire Thursday night.

Supreme Court set to decide on access to abortion pill mifepristone

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court is facing a self-imposed Friday night deadline to decide whether women's access to a widely used abortion pill will stay unchanged or be restricted while a legal challenge to its Food and Drug Administration approval goes on.The justices are weighing arguments that allowing restrictions contained in lower-court rulings to take effect would severely disrupt the availability of the drug, mifepristone, which is used in the most common abortion method in the United States.RELATED: The Supreme Court fight over abortion pill mifepristone: What's next?It has repeatedly been found to be safe and effective, and has been used by more than 5 million women in the U.S. since the FDA approved it in 2000.The Supreme Court had initially said it would decide by Wednesday whether the restrictions could take effect while the case continues.

Richard Glossip: Oklahoma court upholds man's murder conviction, paving way for execution

Richard Glossip is pictured in a photo provided by Oklahoma Department of Corrections. (Credit: Oklahoma Department of Corrections, File) OKLAHOMA CITY - An Oklahoma appeals court on Thursday upheld the murder conviction of death row inmate Richard Glossip, paving the way for Glossip to be executed on May 18, despite the state attorney general’s concerns about some testimony and evidence.Glossip can still plead his case for clemency to the five-member Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, which could recommend that the governor spare the prisoner’s life by commuting his sentence to life in prison without parole.Glossip has been scheduled for execution before and three separate times came within hours of being put to death.The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals' ruling said his case "has been thoroughly investigated and reviewed," with Glossip given "unprecedented access" to prosecutors' files."Yet he has not provided this court with sufficient information that would convince this court to overturn the jury's determination that he is guilty of first-degree murder and should be sentenced to death," according to the ruling written by Judge David Lewis.Glossip's attorney, Don Knight, said he will continue to seek a new trial."It is unconscionable for the court to attempt to force the State to move forward with his execution," Knight said.

Homeowner who shot Black teen after going to wrong house pleads not guilty

LIBERTY, Mo. - The 84-year-old man who shot Ralph Yarl when the Black teenager went to his door by mistake pleaded not guilty Wednesday in a case that has shocked the country and renewed national debates about gun policies and race in America.Andrew Lester walked into the courtroom with a cane and spoke quietly during Wednesday’s hearing, his first public appearance since last week’s shooting. Authorities say he shot Yarl, a 16-year-old honor student, first in the head, then in the arm after Yarl came to his door because he had confused the address with the home where he was supposed to pick up his younger brothers.The case is among three in recent days involving young people who were shot after mistakenly showing up in the wrong places.

Americans are reportedly spending more money on cannabis than chocolate

LOS ANGELES - Marijuana and chocolate may be as good or iconic a combination as bacon and eggs, but Americans reportedly have a preference for one over the other. According to a new report from MJBizDaily, a cannabis industry outlet, legal pot sales eclipsed chocolate. The report found that Americans spent roughly $30 billion on legal marijuana in 2022 compared to $20 billion spent on chocolate. Purchases of legal cannabis even dwarfed sales of other common "feel-good" products including craft beer, opioid medications and topical pain relief. MJBizDaily doesn’t expect to need to go green to get smoked out any time soon.

Americans seeking messenger RNA vaccines for Covid-19 for the first time will get one, updated shot targeting both the Omicron variant and the original strain of the virus under new moves rolled out Tuesday by federal health officials. The Food and Drug Administration also authorized a second booster of the updated shots for people at high risk of Covid-19, specifically people 65 years and older or people who have weak immune systems. The agency’s actions mark the latest tweaks to Covid-19 vaccines, and could be followed up by further efforts to simplify the complicated vaccination regimen, perhaps by enshrining plans for a once-a-year shot for most people.

Supreme Court poised to rule on abortion pill restrictions amid legal battle

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court is deciding whether women will face restrictions in getting a drug used in the most common method of abortion in the United States, while a lawsuit continues.The justices are expected to issue an order on Wednesday in a fast-moving case from Texas in which abortion opponents are seeking to roll back Food and Drug Administration approval of the drug, mifepristone.The drug first won FDA approval in 2000, and conditions on its use have been loosened in recent years, including making it available by mail in states that allow access.The Biden administration and New York-based Danco Laboratories, the maker of the drug, want the nation’s highest court to reject limits on mifepristone’s use imposed by lower courts, at least as long as the legal case makes it way through the courts. They say women who want the drug and providers who dispense it will face chaos if limits on the drug take effect.
