CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (AP) — Officials say a SkyWest Airlines flight from Chicago has made an emergency landing in Buffalo, New York, and at least one passenger lost consciousness. The Federal Aviation Administration says the plane's crew reported a possible pressurization problem. But SkyWest Airlines says the plane didn't appear to have such a problem. A SkyWest spokeswoman says the pilots rapidly descended "out of an abundance of caution."
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's leader is criticizing European countries' efforts to stop migrants reaching their borders. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH'-jehp TY'-ihp UR'-doh-wahn) says Turkey is currently hosting 1.7 million refugees from Syria and another 300,000 from Iraq because it considers it to be its "humanitarian duty." European Union leaders are scheduled to hold an emergency summit in Brussels to discuss ways of stemming migrant trafficking, after a boat carrying hundreds of people capsized off Libya. Authorities believe 800 may have been killed.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Prosecutors have called their last witness in the trial of a Cleveland police officer charged in the deaths of two unarmed people in a 137-shot barrage after a high-speed chase. Patrolman Michael Brelo's (BREE'-lohz) trial is in its third week. The 31-year-old is charged with two counts of voluntary manslaughter. Defense attorneys have argued Brelo's final shots were lawful because the pair still posed a threat.
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A 66-year-old fugitive who spent four decades on the run has turned himself in to Kentucky authorities this week. The Franklin County Sheriff says Clarence David Moore escaped from police custody three times during the 1970s and eventually settled into a quiet life, living in Kentucky since at least 2009. His health is poor from a stroke and he has difficulty speaking. Without a legitimate ID or Social Security number, he had apparently struggled to get medical care.
