Survivors of the 2021 Oxford High School shooting testified in court in a hearing to determine whether Ethan Crumbley will serve life in prison or is eligible for parole. Victims of the 2021 Oxford school shooting in Michigan appeared in court to give emotional testimony Friday in a hearing that will determine whether the shooter, Ethan Crumbley, could be sentenced to life in prison or have the possibility of parole. The hearing -- called a Miller hearing -- is being held due to Crumbley's age. He was just 15 at the time of the shooting, and juveniles in the state of Michigan are not automatically sentenced to life without parole like adults for first-degree murder. A separate hearing will be held for his sentencing. Crumbley, who pleaded guilty to killing four fellow students and wounding seven other people at a Michigan high school , appeared in court for the hearing that began Thursday. Heidi Allen, a 17-year-old survivor of the Oxford High School shooting, took the stand on Fri...

As Hunter Biden prepares to appear in court Wednesday, here's a look at the various federal investigations into the president's son. The business endeavors and personal life of President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden have for years caused headaches for his father's political career. This week, legal scrutiny of his finances will take an important step forward. On Wednesday, the younger Biden will appear in federal court where a judge will weigh whether to reject or accept the terms of a plea deal he negotiated last month with federal prosecutors following a five-year Justice Department probe. He also faces a GOP-led congressional investigation into what House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says are the Biden family's "shady business deals" -- and which House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this week suggested could underpin a potential impeachment inquiry of the president. Here's a look at the various investigations into the president's son...

Despite what its name might suggest, the seaside North Carolina town of Swansboro has a duck problem. Despite what its name might suggest, the seaside North Carolina town of Swansboro has a duck problem. The town’s population of Muscovy ducks has “exponentially multiplied” since last year, and hundreds have taken up residence in the town’s downtown area, according to Swansboro Mayor John Davis. The insurgency of ducks has coincided with the town’s peak tourist season and recent federal wildlife protections, pitting the demands of Mother Nature against the red tape and requirements of the town’s seasonal economy. Muscovy ducks stop traffic in Swanboro, N.C. WCTI “People love to see the ducks, and it is part of what people are used to seeing when they come to downtown Swansboro, but the nuisance level has kind of hit a crescendo,” Davis described to ABC News. 82-year-old Susan Casper, who runs a local marina in town, described that her workers and customers have to deal with the repercus...

New York City has agreed to pay more than $13 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought on behalf of roughly 1,300 people who were arrested or beaten by police during racial injustice demonstrations that swept through the city during the summer ... NEW YORK -- New York City has agreed to pay more than $13 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought on behalf of roughly 1,300 people who were arrested or beaten by police during racial injustice demonstrations that swept through the city during the summer of 2020. If approved by a judge, the settlement, which was filed in Manhattan federal court Wednesday, would be among the most expensive pay-outs ever awarded in a lawsuit over mass arrests, experts said. The lawsuit focused on 18 of the many protests that erupted in New York City in the week following the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis. With certain exceptions, people arrested or subjected to force by NYPD officers at those events will each be eli...

The tornado is part of a system of severe weather threatening some 57 million Americans, while extreme heat puts more than 100 million Americans at risk. A powerful tornado ripped through central North Carolina for more than a dozen miles on Wednesday, destroying homes and injuring residents, according to officials. The National Weather Service said early Thursday that a preliminary damage survey indicates the tornado was an EF3, with peak winds up to 150 miles per hour. It's the first EF3 tornado ever observed in central North Carolina in the month of July and the strongest twister for this time of year on record in the state. The National Weather Service currently uses the Enhanced Fujita scale to rate tornado intensity based on wind speeds and the severity of the damage caused. The scale has six intensity categories from zero to five (EF0, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 and EF5), representing increasing wind speeds and degrees of damage. There is also an unknown category (EFU) for tornado ...

Details are emerging about a North Dakota attack in which authorities say a Fargo man opened fire on police officers who had responded to a traffic crash, killing one of them and wounding two others and a civilian before an officer killed him FARGO, N.D. -- What started as a routine collision on a busy Fargo street ended in bloody mayhem and tragedy, after a local man armed with 1,800 rounds of ammunition, guns and a grenade opened fire, killing one of the police officers who responded to the crash and wounding two others, as well as a woman who was involved in it. Last week's attack by 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat has left investigators wondering what further carnage he might have been planning. Zach Robinson, the only officer in the melee who hadn't been shot, shot and killed Barakat as bystanders crouched nearby. Authorities are expected to release further details of the attack at a news conference later Friday. Barakat, who briefly trained as an emergency responder at a n...

An 18-year-old Nebraska woman has been sentenced to 90 days in jail and two years of probation for burning and burying a fetus after she took medication from her mother to end her pregnancy An 18-year- old northeastern Nebraska woman was sentenced Thursday to 90 days in jail and two years of probation for burning and burying a fetus she aborted with her mother's help in a case watched by advocates as a slew of states move to restrict abortion access. Celeste Burgess, of Norfolk, was sentenced in Madison County after pleading guilty earlier this year to concealing or abandoning a dead body. Two other misdemeanor charges of false reporting and concealing the death of another person were dropped, in an agreement with prosecutors. “The Court specifically finds that while probation is appropriate, confinement is necessary because without this confinement, it would depreciate the seriousness of the crime or promote disrespect for the law,” the judge's order read. Burgess and h...
