Ohio shooting

wounds 12

(AP) — Police in Ohio are still searching for suspects who opened fire near a busy street festival in Toledo and wounded 12 people over the weekend. The Toledo Police Department said Sunday that each of the dozen victims were in stable condition.

The gunfire erupted Saturday near the Old West End Festival, a popular annual gathering along streets dotted with Victorian homes. Videos posted to social media showed people running at the sound of gunfire and medics tending to the wounded in a park filled with event tents and food trucks.

No arrests have been made and authorities have not identified any potential suspects.

Former Sen.

Packwood dies

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Former Oregon Sen. Bob Packwood has died. First elected to the Senate in 1968, Packwood was often considered a maverick by fellow Republicans — a fiscal conservative but social moderate, with Packwood a vocal supporter of abortion rights.

Packwood often voted across party lines and considered running for president in 1980. He stepped down from the Senate in 1995 after multiple women accused him of making unwanted sexual advances. Packwood was 93.

Pope draws

1.2 million

MADRID (AP) — Pope Leo XIV has challenged Europe to acknowledge Christianity’s contributions to its cultural identity. Leo celebrated Spain’s Christian roots and culture with a massive morning Mass in downtown Madrid and an evening spectacle that featured flamenco dancers and a moving monologue by Spanish actor Antonio Banderas about his own faith journey.

Leo arrived in Spain on Saturday at the start of his weeklong visit. He has been keen to highlight the long tradition of Christian devotion here to encourage especially young generations to find their faith. It’s a tall order in a once-staunchly Catholic country where religious observance has largely been on the wane.

Lawsuit seeks

to stop fight

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal lawsuit seeks to halt the upcoming UFC fight card on the White House South Lawn in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The filing Saturday by the Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia resident contends the Trump administration’s authorization of the June 14 event violated National Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands.

It also says Congress didn’t consent to the towering arch overlooking the event space and no environmental review was conducted before the construction. The White House says the lawsuit is “baseless.”
