FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Officials say an Iraq War veteran who sought treatment for depression and other problems killed himself after fatally shooting three other people and wounding 16 at Fort Hood, the same Texas military base where 13 were slain in 2009. Investigators are taking an intense look at whether Ivan Lopez's combat experience had caused lingering psychological trauma.
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — One set of remains does not fit any descriptions on medical examiners' lists of Washington state mudslide victims, underscoring the tedious process of identifying the 29 people known dead. Medical officials say they have little to go on, except that the victim is male and had gold teeth. They can't even identify his age range.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — It's unclear if the U.S. Supreme Court will step in and delay today's execution of a Texas serial killer whose attorneys are challenging the state's refusal to release information about the origin of its lethal injection drug. Tommy Lynn Sells fatally stabbed a 13-year-old in 1999, but claims to have committed as many as 70 killings. The high court previously rejected similar arguments in a Missouri case.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — With the release of a government report scheduled today, authorities in Ukraine say they have detained several members of an elite riot police unit on suspicion of shooting anti-government protesters. The February unrest left more than 100 dead. The interim government says ousted President Viktor Yanukovych (yah-noo-KOH'-vich) ordered the snipers. His supporters say it was opposition leaders trying to whip up outrage.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — A rock-bottom inflation rate adds another complication as the European Central Bank mulls its next move amid economic weakness in the 18-nation eurozone. The bank's governing council appears unlikely to cut interest any further when it meets today, though questions remain about whether it might resort in the near future to less conventional measures.
