(AP) — A judge Wednesday approved the release of a teenager who opened fire at a central Indiana middle school in 2018, wounding another student and a teacher, a prosecutor said.The judge approved the 18-year-old’s release from juvenile detention into the custody of his parents because he is now an adult and could no longer be legally held for crimes he committed while a minor, Hamilton County Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Joshua Kocher told The Indianapolis Star.The teenager will be on home detention with a GPS monitor and bound by restrictions including no guns or drugs, no computers unless monitored by probation officials, limited time on electronic devices, and no visits to schools or college campuses without prior approval.Those limits are in place “to ensure the safety of the community,” Kocher said.

Ontario’s Rental Tenancies Act (RTA) says that if a tenant is not being provided with all the services stipulated in a rental lease or their rights are violated in some way, they may be eligible for a ‘rent abatement.’An abatement is reimbursement of a portion of rent paid back to the tenant to compensate for what amounts to a breach of contract by the landlord, explains Elysha Roeper, staff lawyer at West Toronto Community Legal Services.“For example, an illegal entry by the landlord without justifiable cause, harassment, discrimination, breaches in maintenance and repair issues — so if the landlord’s not taking sufficient action to repair something that is their responsibility,” she says.A rent abatement is a formal order from the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). A tenant must apply to the board in order to request and receive one, using either a T2 or a T6 form after which a hearing will be scheduled. Roeper suggests that tenants contact ...US officials to meet with counterparts in Mexico on drugs, arms trafficking and migration

Locals are pushing back

CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) — Mario Carranza put a mobile home on a $28,000 lot in Colony Ridge, one of the biggest neighborhoods in Texas, lured by cheap land and the chance for his family to escape the crime he says was rampant around their apartment in nearby Houston. “Here, we are good,” said Carranza, 65, who now drives about an hour to his maintenance job in a Houston suburb.But his quiet neighborhood is now in an unwelcome national spotlight. For weeks in Texas, conservative media and GOP activists have been pushing unsubstantiated claims that Colony Ridge has become a magnet for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally and that cartels control pockets of the neighborhood.There is no evidence to support the claims, and residents, local officials and the developer dispute the portrayals. The unsubstantiated reports have spread quickly and gained traction among Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running for president.The attention has a...Massachusetts shooting claims life of baby delivered after mother was one of several hit by gunfire

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota county agreed to pay a $12.2 million settlement to a man who was jailed on suspicion of drunken driving but ended up losing both his hands and suffering a heart attack, a stroke and skin lesions all over his body, allegedly due to the inaction of officials in the county jail, attorneys said Wednesday.Terrance Dwayne Winborn spent about four months in hospitals, including two months on a ventilator, because Scott County jail officials failed during the 39 hours he was incarcerated to ensure he got the prompt treatment he needed, his lawyers said at a news conference. It’s a case that highlights the vulnerability of prisoners who are dependent on authorities for medical care.The attorneys said the settlement will cover the more than $2 million in medical bills Winborn has already incurred — a sum which they said the county didn’t cover — as well as the millions he’ll need for ongoing care.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An adult entertainment group’s lawsuit against a Louisiana law requiring sexually explicit websites to verify the ages of their viewers was dismissed Wednesday by a federal judge. But opponents of the law say they will likely appeal. U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan in New Orleans ruled that the state officials named in the lawsuit — state public safety secretary James LeBlanc, Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne and Attorney General Jeff Landry — cannot be sued because they don’t have a duty to enforce the act, which allows violators to be sued and face civil penalties.Morgan said granting an injunction against the three state officials wouldn’t prevent people from suing content providers who fail to verify their viewers’ age. Opponents of the law plan an appeal. Similar laws have been passed and are being challenged in other states. In Texas, a federal judge recently struck down such a law. A challenge to a similar law in Utah has so far failed.“As...Sportsbook: Bears Head Coach Matt Eberflus favorite to be first NFL coach fired this season
