PARIS (AP) — Public transportation has resumed in the northern Paris neighborhood around a police station targeted by an attacker carrying a knife, and the area is returning to normal. Police shot and killed the attacker, wearing what turned out to be a fake explosives belt, after he threatened them with a knife. They say he carried a claim of responsibility written in Arabic. It was exactly a year ago today that attackers killed 12 people at the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — An Atlanta-area prosecutor says he plans to ask for an indictment of a police officer who fatally shot an unarmed naked man last year. The prosecutor says he will ask a grand jury to indict Officer Robert Olsen of the DeKalb County Police Department. He's accused of shooting Anthony Hill in March while responding to a call of a man behaving erratically outside an apartment complex. Hill's family says he was an Air Force veteran who struggled with mental health problems.
BALTIMORE (AP) — A lawyer for a Baltimore police officer who is charged in the death of Freddie Gray is asking an appeals court to block a ruling that would require the officer to testify against a colleague. A judge yesterday ruled that William Porter, whose trial ended in a mistrial last month, can be compelled to take the stand in the trial of van driver Caesar Goodson. But he also warned that the insistence by prosecutors that he testify could compromise Porter's retrial.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Alabama say the state's probate judges must obey the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on gay marriage -- regardless of an administrative order issued by Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. Moore said this week that the Alabama Supreme Court never lifted a directive to probate judges to refuse licenses to gay couples. But federal prosecutors say they have "grave concerns" about Moore's position. They say the issue was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court last year and while government officials are free to disagree with the law, they can't disobey it.
BEDFORD, Pa. (AP) — An Episcopal priest has been suspended from a Pennsylvania church after being accused this week of molesting three boys at an elite Rhode Island boarding school more than 40 years ago. Dozens of students allege they were molested or raped at the school in the 1970s and '80s. A lawyer for three former students named the Rev. Howard White as being among the six perpetrators the school identified after an internal investigation. White is a retired priest who has been filling in at St. James Episcopal Church in Bedford, Pennsylvania.
