According to school officials, the victim was not a student of the Tuskegee, Alabama, university and their family has been notified. “Several others including Tuskegee University students were injured and are receiving treatment at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery,” the university statement said.

In a video posted to social media, an apparent attendee of the homecoming celebration is seen taking cover with friends amid a barrage of

A third Southern California ballot processing center has confirmed that they received a bomb threat in the wake of the 2024 election.  According to Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan, the Norwalk headquarters of their office was the recipient of a bomb threat on Saturday.  “A thorough investigation is underway, and comprehensive sweeps have been conducted at our Norwalk office and Ballot Processing Center,” Logan said.  No threats were found, Logan added. He did not elaborate how the bomb threat was sent. “These threats and efforts to disrupt the legal, transparent and secure process of counting all eligible ballots have no place in our electoral process,” he continued. “The safety of the employees working to complete the canvass of the election and the security of the ballots are our priority.”  Decision by state regulators means California gas prices could rise substantially The threats to the Norwalk headquarters come days after the Orange County Registrar of Voters confirmed that they had a bomb threat called in to their ballot processing center in Santa Ana. Officials with the Riverside County Registrar of Voters also confirmed a bomb threat

November 10, 2024 / 10:07 AM EST / AP Mideast conflict’s impact on innocent civilians The widening Mideast conflict’s impact on innocent civilians 02:49 Israeli strikes killed dozens of people on Sunday in Lebanon and the northern Gaza Strip, where the military has been waging a major offensive for more than a month that aid groups say has further worsened the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave. An Israeli airstrike killed at least 23 people in the village of Aalmat, north of Beirut and far from the areas in southern and eastern Lebanon where the militant Hezbollah group has a major presence. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said a further six people were wounded. There was no immediate Israeli comment. In northern Gaza, an Israeli strike on a home sheltering displaced people in the urban refugee camp of Jabaliya killed at least 17 people, according to the director of a nearby hospital that received the bodies. Relatives mourn near the bodies of those killed in the Israeli attack on the Nuseirat Refugee Camp after they were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for funeral procedures in Deir al-Balah

By Tracy Smith November 10, 2024 / 10:06 AM EST / CBS News Ted Danson on his new comedy series “A Man on the Inside” Ted Danson on his new comedy series “A Man on the Inside” 07:51 Sitting down to talk about his new TV show, Ted Danson admits he is nervous. Why? “Because I want people to see it, I really do,” he said. “I think it’s an important conversation.” It’s strange to think of Danson as nervous about anything, but in this case, it’s not hard to see why: his latest project means a lot to him, about a subject that touches everyone. In the new Netflix series “A Man on the Inside,” Danson is a recently-retired widower without much to do, until he answers an ad from a private investigator, and becomes a mole inside a nursing home. Like a lot of TV series, the premise seems a little far-fetched, but this one’s true: it’s based on “The Mole Agent,” a 2020 documentary about a real-life 83-year-old who goes undercover in a Chilean nursing home looking for signs of patients being

Ever since the Supreme Court took away the constitutional right to abortion in 2022, the people have been taking it back state by state. Before last week’s election, voters in six states had either enshrined abortion rights in their state constitutions or defeated ballot measures that would have restricted them. On Tuesday, that number more than doubled. In seven of the 10 states where abortion rights measures were on the ballot, they prevailed. From the most liberal of those states (New York) to the most conservative (Missouri), and regardless of how they voted in the presidential race, voters asserted the right to control their own bodies. Even in Florida, where an abortion rights measure failed, it won a more decisive majority than Donald Trump. (More about that later.) Ballot measures in New York, Maryland, Colorado and Montana enshrined abortion rights (and, in New York, other equal rights protections) in the constitutions of states where they are already substantially protected by law. Abortion is legal to the point of fetal viability in Montana, for example, but lawmakers there have repeatedly tried to restrict it. These measures

If you’re a fan of amateur basketball, there’s no better place to spend the next four months than Southern California, where talent at the high school level has converged among the classes of 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 to create one of those “I can’t believe it” moments. “No question, it’s special,” Harvard-Westlake coach David Rebibo said. “SoCal basketball is the greatest amateur basketball in the world right now. Tomorrow may be different but today,” Inglewood coach Jason Crowe Sr. said in a tweet. Let’s start with the class of 2025. Nikolas Khamenia from Harvard-Westlake has grown to 6 feet 9, won two gold medals representing USA national teams and is committed to Duke. Brayden Burries from Eastvale Roosevelt is a 6-4 guard considered the best uncommitted senior in California after averaging 24.8 points for a 31-4 team last season. Alijah Arenas of Chatsworth shows off his leaping skills. (Craig Weston) The class of 2026 is unprecedented in the quality of talent concentrated in one area.

The 2024 election results make clear: The Asian American electorate has shifted further right. The trend portends a new future for this voting bloc that bodes well for the Republican Party. And it has been brewing for years. Asian Americans did back Kamala Harris , who received 54% of their vote, according to Edison Research exit polls conducted with a consortium of news organizations. Yet the 39% who supported Donald Trump — despite Harris’ South Asian background and efforts to solicit voters of color — reflect the decline of the Democratic Party’s grip on Asian American voters. In 2020, Joe Biden received 61% of the Asian American vote compared with Trump’s 34%. Four years prior, Hillary Clinton received 65% compared with Trump’s 27%. Since 2016, Trump has managed to pull more Asian American voters to his side. This statistical trend indicates that the nine-year phenomenon of Trumpism is climbing. But something bigger and with a longer history is happening too. To be sure, the 2024 polls suggest that like other demographic groups, Asian Americans were chiefly concerned about the economy. And for some, pocketbook issues

A helping hand to America’s wounded veterans A helping hand to America’s wounded veterans 07:09 We first met Joe Dan Worley 20 years ago, along with his mother, wife Angel, and a three-month-old daughter, at Walter Reed Hospital outside Washington. A medic rushing to the aid of wounded Marines in Iraq, Worley was hit by a roadside bomb – his left leg blown off, his right riddled with bullets. “When I hit the ground, I was purely convinced that my entire body was just ravaged, I mean, that I was dead,” he said. His mother said, “Our life is just turned upside-down.” It wasn’t just Worley’s grievous wounds; the cost of moving to Washington to be with him had drained the family savings. They didn’t even have enough for the baby’s winter clothes. Then, his mother said “an angel” walked in the door: “She just sat down and started talking to all of us, and just wrote out a check and handed it to the kids.” Pictures taken during battlefield medic Joe Dan Worley’s recovery from wounds received during the Battle of Fallujah.

One person was killed and several others were injured in a shooting at Tuskegee University in Alabama early Sunday, the university said. The incident occurred as the historically Black university celebrated the end of its homecoming week, the Associated Press reported. The person who died was not affiliated with Tuskegee University, the school said in a statement obtained by CBS News, which noted that the person’s parents had been notified. Several others, including Tuskegee University students, sustained injuries in the shooting and were hospitalized at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery.  Emergency responders secured the scene with help from campus authorities and local law enforcement, according to the university. The Alabama Bureau of Investigations has opened a probe into the shooting, which remains active.  “The university is in the process of completing student accountability and notifying parents. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available,” the university said. It was unclear whether a suspect or suspects had been identified in the shooting. This is a developing story and will be updated when additional details come to light.

Once, when Keke Palmer was a little girl, she asked to have Cheerios for dinner. Her parents told her no: They had already prepared a meal for the family, and besides, cereal was for breakfast. “If you don’t eat the dinner,” her mother advised, “then you’re going to be hungry.” “That’s OK,” the 4-year-old said, calmly turning and retreating to her room. A few hours later, at 4 a.m., her mother went downstairs to use the bathroom. She found Keke there, asleep in her nightgown with her head resting on the kitchen table. “Mom,” she said as she looked up sleepily, “can you give me my Cheerios?” Who are the people shaping our culture? In her column, Amy Kaufman examines the lives of icons, underdogs and rising stars to find out — “For Real.” Sharon Palmer laughs as she tells this story, which seems, at first, like your standard cute anecdote, tossed off to humanize a famous daughter — an example of how stubborn kids can be in the pursuit of their desires, proof that years before she became a child star, Keke knew how

The residents of Camarillo Heights knew all too well the dangers of fire. Their corner of Ventura County was battered by powerful Santa Ana winds every fall, and those gusts stoked fires that came close but never swept into their hillside community. That is until Wednesday, when the Mountain fire made a direct hit, burning numerous homes and sent resident fleeing for safety. With the danger passed, people returned to survey the devastation. But instead of defeat, there was a spirit of resiliency and defiance as neighbors helped neighbors and many talked of rebuilding as quickly as possible. On Friday afternoon, 85-year-old Carol Cressy visited what remained of her home. Neighbors stopped to check in on her as she walked around the rubble and twisted metal that made up her home of 50 years. Phillip Federis looks for keepsakes in the ruins of a home owned by Carol Cressy, a family friend in Camarillo Heights.

Dear Liz: My wife, who turned 73 this year, worked for a company until Aug. 31. She started a new job with another company the following day. She plans to roll the 401(k) from the previous company into the 401(k) of the new company. Would she need to withdraw her required minimum distribution from the old 401(k), even though the money would be in the 401(k) of her current employer? Answer: The answer to this question gets a little tricky, says Mark Luscombe, principal analyst for Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. If she had changed jobs last year, the year before she turned 73, she could have rolled her old 401(k) account into her new employer’s plan and postponed the need to take a required minimum distribution as long as she continued to work for the new employer. However, since she turned 73 this year and is no longer working for her old employer, she must take an RMD from the old 401(k) plan. RMDs can’t be rolled over from one 401(k) to another, so she’s required to take her RMD from the old account

Alia Phillips thought she might never see her wedding ring again. But even on her engagement anniversary, that was low on her list of concerns as she drove her Prius through orange smoke and falling, flaming branches. Wednesday morning had been a chaotic flurry of conflicting orders as the Mountain fire tore through residential neighborhoods in Camarillo, burning homes, fields and trees in its wake. Phillips had left work that morning to check on her 18-year-old dog, Little Miss, and turn on her sprinklers when she first heard of the fire. It had started fairly far away. To reach her three-story home on East Highland Drive in Camarillo Heights, the fire would have to jump over the 118 Freeway, cross fields, then go up and over a mountain. A Morongo Fire Department truck drives through Alia Phillips’ in Camarillo Heights neighborhood on Saturday. Phillips, her husband and 18-year-old rescue dog Little Miss’ home was flattened by the Mountain fire.

Adam Schiff — “sleazebag,” “low life,” “little pencil neck,” to use some of the pungent ways Donald Trump describes him — is taking the high road, turning the other cheek and generally being the better man by ignoring all that and promising to do whatever he can to work and thrive in a MAGA-fied Washington, D.C. Yes, California’s newly elected Democratic senator requires bulked-up security to get through life, thanks to the animosity and violent threats stirred up by the vengeful president-elect. No, his views of Trump and his rhetoric — “the hate and the division and the bile,” as Schiff described it — haven’t changed. Still, he insisted, he would “focus on getting done what my constituents elected me to do, which is try to bring down the cost of living. In particular, bring down the cost of housing and child care, build lots more housing, address homelessness, address rising food prices and just the struggle that working families and middle-class families are facing.” “They’re the same issues, in part, that Republicans campaigned on and Trump campaigned on,” Schiff said in his first interview

Slowly and deliberately, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue climbed the steps to the podium for his postgame news conference and plopped down in his chair. He shook his head. “I’m tired,” Lue said. And so were his players. The Clippers’ fatigue was evident Saturday in how they blew a 14-point lead against the Toronto Raptors at the Intuit Dome. Their weariness showed in how James Harden and Norman Powell missed three of the team’s six free throws down the stretch. Their exhaustion showed after heavy minutes for Harden, Powell and Ivica Zubac pushed them to their limit. Ultimately, the Clippers escaped with a 105-103 win that was decided in the final seconds. The Clippers have played four games in six days. In 10 games this season, they’ve played three sets of back-to-backs. They won their fourth consecutive game, but it took Harden playing over 34 minutes to get 24 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Powell played 35:03 to get his 24 points and Zubac played 38:20 to get 14 points and 12 rebounds. It also took stellar defense by Terance Mann for the Clippers to

The last time “Saturday Night Live” aired an episode following a Donald Trump presidential election win was on Nov. 12, 2016 , when Dave Chappelle hosted. The cold open was a somber Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton singing “ Hallelujah, ” and the monologue and sketch that followed felt like perfectly pitched, smart responses to a shocking outcome. For the first post-election episode of 2024, stand-up comic Bill Burr hosted, and the episode … was not that at all. The show tried a few different tacks, just a week after Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on the show , including a cold open that mocked Trump by having the entire cast pretend to support him and a Burr monologue that, depending on how you viewed it, was either wildly insensitive to dejected Harris supporters, particularly women, or provocatively ironic. By the time “Weekend Update” came along, with two non-election related character bits that missed the mark, the sketches began to feel exhausted and rote, with bad premises and weak writing. It never recovered after that. If the show was aligning itself to the guest host’s
