City Council Special Meeting - Apr 08 2024

 

 

Three U.S. Marshals are dead after a shootout in Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings says the officers were serving a warrant at a home, when a suspect opened fire. That suspect died, but another person inside the home started shooting.       Anti-Israel protesters are defying a Columbia University deadline to disband and leave campus. The New York university set the deadline with the threat of suspension through next school year. In a post on X, New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik accused university officials of surrendering Columbia's campus "to the pro for -Hamas antisemitic mob."        America's top diplomat is urging Hamas to accept Israel's latest proposal for a ceasefire deal that includes the release of hostages. Speaking in Saudi Arabia today, Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the deal "extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel" and called on the militant group to quickly accept it. This comes as negotiators are meeting in Cairo to discuss the proposal.        House Speaker Mike Johnson is still facing threats for his removal from some conservatives in his party. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday said Johnson's days as speaker are "numbered" after he backed additional military aid for Ukraine. Greene last month filed a motion to remove Johnson, but it's not clear if or when she'll call the motion to a vote on the House floor.        Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul will be a professional sanctioned fight. That means rather than being an exhibition bout, it will count toward their professional boxing records. The former heavyweight champion and YouTube star are set to duke it out on July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. The fight will stream live on Netflix.       A zebra is still missing after police and the public helped catch the runaway animals in Washington state. Washington police in King County say four zebras got loose when their owner stopped to secure their trailer on their way to Montana. Locals who talked to NBC affiliate KING said they thought the animals were part of a prank. Another said Sunday would be known as "the day the zebras came into North Bend."
