Five people were killed in four separate shootings across Charlotte within about 25 hours over the weekend. The shootings occurred on High Meadow Lane, Simril Court and Altliff Court on Saturday, followed by an early Sunday shooting at the Ridge Creek industrial park, where two people were killed and two others injured. Police have not released a motive or announced arrests in most of the cases; Andrea Cole was charged with first-degree murder in the Altliff Court shooting. Investigators have said the two deaths at Ridge Creek were part of the same incident, while information about possible connections among the other shootings remains limited.

New York Archdiocese nears $800M abuse deal

The Archdiocese of New York is nearing an $800 million-plus settlement with about 1,300 people who say they were sexually abused by clergy and church leaders, though the agreement is not yet final. It would offer claimants at least $250,000 each, with some eligible for more, and includes provisions for holdouts and publishing the names of credibly accused individuals; the deal is intended to resolve years of litigation and avert potential bankruptcy.
