Well, the mother of a 6 year old boy who shot and wounded his teacher in Newport News has been formally arrested on charges of child neglect and failing to secure her handgun. The Newport News police department released a booking photo of 26 year old deja Taylor and a brief statement that says she turned herself in at the local jail. A former navy reservist from McLean, who stormed the U.S. capitol on January 6th, 2021, and expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler, was sentenced today to three years in prison on gun charges. The sentence imposed for hatchet speed in federal court in Alexandria was just 5 months less than the term sought by federal prosecutors. It is a much longer punishment than the one year term that was sought by speed's lawyers. Speed is 41 years old, a military veteran who held top secret clearances while working for a defense contractor. The gun charges against him in Virginia are separate from charges brought in D.C. for obstructing an official proceeding, the January 6th joint session of Congress for certifying the Electoral College vote. He'll be sentenced on those charges next month. 7 O 6. Next, let's turn to the safety of local kids early today, two unmarked school buses tried to pick up students at separate fairfax county stops, and even those students are off tomorrow. Police say they'll have greater security presence in those neighborhoods going forward. Fairfax county police say next week they'll have more officers in the two neighborhoods where separate unmarked buses tried to pick students up. James curry is with fairfax county police. There could be a very plausible explanation as to why these buses were in that area. It could be a complete misunderstanding. But we can't take that chance. The incidents happened at bus stops in Reston and Lawton about ten minutes apart in both cases, the bus driver drove away after being confronted by a community member. Students didn't get on the bus in either case. Police say in the Lawton incident, the driver was there for another pickup and no criminal activity is suspected. The school system says county buses will always be properly marked. We'll have detectives working on this throughout the weekend and certainly have more of a visible present on Monday when school picks up. Scott gellman WTO P news.

"Struggle and no warning authorities said on Monday. Drew, who spoke during a conference offered the first detailed description of a shooting that shocked the city and was notable even in a country like the United States that seems inured to constant gun violence. Dru had previously said that the shooting was not accidental and had declined to elaborate. Drew said he wanted to clarify remarks he made just after the shooting on Friday when he said there was an altercation before the shooting. He said it was more like an interaction between the boy and his first grade teacher at richneck elementary school, 25 year old Abbey's Werner, drew also revealed that the 9 millimeter handgun used by the boy was legally purchased by his mother and was in the family home. He said the boy brought it to school in his backpack the day of the shooting. The teacher put up a hand in a defensive position when the gun fired, and the bullet went through her hand and into her upper chest drew said. Although her injuries were initially considered life threatening, she has improved and is currently listed in stable condition at a local hospital. Dru Hales Werner a hero for quickly hustling her students out of the classroom after she was shot. He said surveillance video shows, she was the last person to leave the classroom. Drew said a school employee rushed into the classroom and physically restrained the boy after hearing the gunshot. He said the boy became a little combative and struck the employee. Police officers arrived and escorted him out of the building and into a police car. The boy has been held at a medical facility since an emergency custody order and temporary detention order were issued on Friday, drew said. He said it would be up to a judge to determine what the next steps are for the boy. He also said the boy's mother has been interviewed by police, but it's unclear whether she could potentially face any charges. The Justice Department is reviewing a batch of potentially classified documents found in the Washington office space of president Joe Biden's former institute, The White House said on Monday. Special counsel to the president Richard Sauber said a small number of documents with classified markings, were discovered as Biden's personal attorneys were clearing out the offices of the Penn Biden center, where the president kept an office after he left the vice presidency in 2017 until shortly before he launched his 2020 presidential campaign. The documents were found on November 2nd, 2022, in a locked closet in the office said sober said the attorneys immediately alerted The White House counsel's office who notified the national archives and records administration, which took custody of the documents the next day, since that discovery, the president's personal attorneys have cooperated with the archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama Biden administration records are appropriately in the possession of the archives said, attorney general Merrick Garland asked U.S. attorney for the northern district of Illinois, John loch, to review the matter after the archives referred the issue to the department. Irrespective of the Justice Department review the revelation that Biden potentially mishandled classified or presidential records could prove to be a political headache for the president, who called Trump's decision to keep hundreds of such records at his private club in Florida irresponsible. The news may also complicate the Justice Department's consideration on whether to bring charges against Trump, who has launched a repeat bid for The White House in 2024 and has repeatedly claimed that the department's inquiry of his own conduct amounted to corruption. The latest in a string of Pacific storms blamed for at least 12 deaths soaked California on Monday, prompting evacuations of some 25,000 people, including the entire town of montecito and nearby areas of the Santa Barbara coast due to heightened flood and mudslide risks. The montecito evacuation zone was among 17 California regions where authorities worry a series of torrential downpours since late December could unleash lethal cascades of mud, boulders and other debris in hillsides stripped bare of vegetation by past wildfires. The mandatory evacuations came 5 years after mudslides from heavy rains struck nearly fire scarred slopes and canyons around montecito, an affluent coastal enclave 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles, causing widespread damage and killing more than 20 people in January 2018, sheriff's deputies were outlying flooded roads in armored high clearance bearcat S.W.A.T. vehicles to rescue residents trapped by high water. Among the nearly 9000 residents of montecito, many with opulent homes in the picturesque town, as such celebrities as media mogul Oprah Winfrey and Britain's prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle. The torrential rains, along with heavy snow in mountain areas, were the product of yet another atmospheric river of dense moisture, funneled into California from the tropical Pacific, powered by sprawling low pressure systems churning off shore.

"That are so heavy? I can barely lift them, let alone an entire attic full of Christmas decorations. And it immediately just made me feel like a pretty terrible daughter because I knew the expectation was that I was supposed to keep all of this stuff that somehow one day I was going to have my own house and I was going to fill it up with the stuff and Our lives were just really different. That was never going to be my thing. So I'm standing there having this moment in the house looking at this dining room table, and my dad says to me, you got to go clean out the closet in the bedroom. In my house for my entire life. The specific closet was always called the closet that eats everything. And it was called this because if you lost something in my house, no matter where this item originated from it wound up in this closet like that room in Harry Potter, where all the missing stuff goes. Like a series of pneumatic tubes, like would connect the garage in the kitchen. And no matter where this item originated. It wound up in this closet a bit, like, lose a shirt and I'd be like Mom, Have you seen my shirt? Well, did you check the closet that eats everything? No, Mom, why would it be in there and she's like, opened the door and pull out the shirt is this the one you're looking for? Just happened more times that I could count. But The real reason that I was anxious about going into this closet was because it was also where we kept all of the family photos. And the scrapbooking materials. So I made a plan. I was not going to engage with any of the stuff. I was just going to sort the stuff because nostalgia is the enemy of all successful cleaning expeditions. So family photos keep one pile old unsent greeting cards throw away another pile. And that lasted for about five minutes before I'm knee deep in the family photos going through every single one of them, and I'm looking at pictures of us around that ugly table Thanksgiving.

Wasn't there with michael douglas. And it was this kind of thing.

That our about sex. But i will be very very very careful and they are. They aren't specifically needed because of what they do to the narrative. They're not they're not just bolted on their essential nerve that are essential part of the story but there will be no nudity. They will be it. Because it's like the. I mean nudity and sex toot very different things. Well human story going be about family. Life death everything in between the sexes. Like that's the middle of all of absolute.
