OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — There are reports of damaging 60 mile an hour winds and flash flooding in parts of Missouri as millions of people across a large swath of the Southern Plains prepare for similar weather or worse. Forecasters say a large storm capable of producing "significant" tornadoes and grapefruit-sized hail is expected to hit the region this afternoon and evening. The most dangerous weather — heavy winds, tornadoes and giant hail — will likely take aim at a more than 100,000-square-mile area stretching from central Texas to southern Nebraska.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It's unclear what Bernie Sanders might do if Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton comes out on top in the five states holding primaries today. Sanders' team has sent mixed signals-- with one top adviser suggesting a tough night would push the Vermont senator to reassess his bid and another vowing to fight "all the way to the convention." Sanders himself has admitted that his campaign is "handicapped" in the states in play today because they don't allow independents to participate. Clinton leads Sanders 1,946 delegates to 1,192 when counting superdelegates.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Police have seized spent ammunition, a gun sling and journals from the home of the 18-year-old who opened fire on students at a prom at his former northern Wisconsin high school over the weekend. Legal documents show an Antigo (AN'-tih-goh) Police patrolman shot Jakob Wagner multiple times before killing him to stop the attack. The records say the officer had been checking cars in the school parking lot when Wagner opened fire and wounded two people as they left the dance.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prince's sister has asked a Minnesota court to appoint a special administrator to oversee the artist's estate because she says he had no known will. Prince's only surviving full sibling says immediate action is necessary to manage the musician's business interests following his death last week. A court filing doesn't estimate how much his estate may be worth, but Prince made hundreds of millions of dollars for record companies and concert venues and owned about $27 million in property in Minnesota.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two baby bald eagles at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington have been officially named "Freedom" and "Liberty" following a "Name the Nestlings" social media campaign. The American Eagle Foundation says more than 36,000 people voted on five different name pairings selected on the Friends of the National Arboretum Facebook page. The foundation and arboretum launched the live streaming DC Eagle Cam after the parents — nicknamed "Mr. President" and "The First Lady" — laid two eggs in February.
