Who was the Nevada shooter and what happened in the New York office building?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. Investigators are retracing the steps of a Nevada man who killed three people, including a police officer and injured a fourth in a New York City office building. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish says surveillance footage shows the attacker walking from a double parked vehicle in Midtown Manhattan, entering the building, carrying a rifle and then opening the fire in the lobby.
He goes up to the thirty third floor, which is root in management, and begins to walk the floor, firing rounds as he travelled. One person was struck and killed on that floor. He then proceeds down a hallway and shoots himself in the chest.
Tish identified the suspect as twenty seven year old Shane Tamora of Las Vegas. She says he is believed to have acted alone.
What legal challenge are religious groups filing against the Trump immigration policy?
A coalition of religious groups is suing the Trump administration over a policy that allows immigration enforcement at houses of worship. And Paris Era Ventry has the story.
On President Trump's first day in office, the Department of Homeland Security announced that immigration enforcement actions could take place in sensitive locations, like houses of worship. The next month, twenty-seven groups sued, saying the policy infringes on their religious freedom. In this latest suit, the plaintiffs cite examples of agents performing arrests on church property. They say that now people are afraid to attend church, and congregations have gone underground to protect their parishioners, holding private baptisms, locking their doors, and training staff to respond to immigration raids. These groups are asking the court to declare the administration's policy unconstitutional. Sarah Ventry and Pierre News.

Several healthcare groups have released statements saying that SSRI use in pregnancy has been very well studied, with data on hundreds and thousands of pregnant women.
