Investigators say the wing part comes from a Boeing 777. Malaysia Airlines 370 is the only Boeing 777 that's missing. Jacquita Gomes, whose husband was on the flight, says she wants to put her husband to rest, but part of her doesn't want the news to be true.
CINCINNATI (AP) — A University of Cincinnati police officer charged in the traffic stop fatal shooting of a motorist is scheduled to appear in court today.
