Teens wounded in

school shooting

DENVER (AP) — Authorities say three teens were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, including the suspected shooter, on Wednesday.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the shooting was reported around 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen High School in Evergreen. It is about 30 miles west of Denver in the Rocky Mountain foothills. It was not clear what led to the shooting or how the suspected shooter, believed to be a student at the school, was shot.

A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said none of the law enforcement officers who responded to the shooting is believed to have fired any shots.

Israeli airstrikes

kill at least 35

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Yemen’s Houthi rebels say Israeli airstrikes targeting the rebels in Yeman have killed at least 35 people and wounded over 130 others.

Most of those killed in the strikes Wednesday were in Sanaa, the capital, where a military headquarters and a fuel station were among the sites hit, the health ministry said. Israel’s military carried out the strikes just days after Houthi rebels launched a drone attack that struck an Israeli airport. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, meanwhile, plans to seek sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel over the war in the Gaza Strip.

The move adds to Israel’s already unprecedented global isolation as it grapples with the fallout from its strike targeting Hamas leaders in U.S.-allied Qatar on Tuesday.

Plane arrives for

Korean workers

FOLKSTON, Ga. (AP) — A South Korean charter plane arrived in Atlanta to take home Korean workers detained in an immigration raid in Georgia last week. But even after a high-level meeting between U.S. and South Korean officials Wednesday morning, there was no immediate word on when the workers would be able to leave and the flight planned for Wednesday was canceled.

A total of 475 workers, more than 300 of them South Koreans, were rounded up in the Sept. 4 raid at the battery factory under construction at Hyundai’s sprawling auto plant west of Savannah.

South Korea’s government later said it reached an agreement with the U.S. for the release of the workers.
