Twenty people were killed and more than two dozen were injured in a mass shooting at an El Paso shopping center on Saturday, according to Texas and local authorities."Lives were taken who should still be with us today," Gov. Greg Abbott said at a news conference near the Walmart and an adjacent shopping mall.Twenty-six people were injured, according to El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen."The ages and genders of all these people injured and killed are numerous in the age groups," Allen said. "The situation, needless to say, is a horrific one."A 21-year-old white man from Allen, a suburb of Dallas more than 650 miles away, is in police custody, Allen said. Authorities are looking at potentially bringing capital murder charges against him.The case also has a "nexus to a potential hate crime," he said."Right now, we have a manifesto from this individual that indicates to some degree a nexus to a potential hate crime," Allen said.FBI El Paso Special Agent in Charge Emmerson Buie said more investigative work was needed before determining whether there was a possible hate crime.The dead included three Mexican nationals, according to a tweet from President Andr¨¦s Manuel L¨®pez Obrador. Six Mexicans were injured, Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard wrote on Twitter.CNN reported the suspect is 21-year-old Patrick Crusius of Allen, according to three sources.Two federal law enforcement sources and one state government source confirmed the suspect's identity. The federal sources said investigators are reviewing an online writing posted days before the shooting that may speak to a motive.The online posting was believed to be written by Crusius, the sources said, but that has not been confirmed.'This was a massacre'The first call of an active shooter went out at 10:39 a.m. local time, Allen said. The first officer arrived on scene six minutes later.El Paso Police Sgt. Robert Gomez previously told reporters police were initially given multiple possible locations for the shooting, at a Walmart and the Cielo Vista Mall next door."This is a large crime scene, a large area," Gomez said of the scene.Multiple agencies responded to the scene, including the FBI, the sheriff's department, the state Department of Public Safety and Border Patrol.The crime scene will "be in play for a long period," Allen said. "Unfortunately, the deceased will remain at the scene until the scene is processed properly for evidentiary purposes to be gathered for later prosecution."Officials from two local hospitals said they had received at least 23 people.Thirteen people were taken to University Medical Center of El Paso, spokesman Ryan Mielke told CNN, and one of them has died. Two children with non-life-threatening injuries were transferred to a children's medical facility, Mielke said.Eleven victims were transported to the Del Sol Medical Center, hospital spokesman Victor Guerrero said. Nine are in critical but stable condition, he said.At least two of the patients are in a "life-threatening predicament," according to Del Sol Medical Center Dr. Stephen Flaherty. He said the patients ranged in age from 25 to 82. Two are in stable condition, he said, and seven required emergency operations."This was a massacre," US Rep. Veronica Escobar, who represents the area, told CNN. Escobar has received conflicting reports on the numbers of casualties, she said, but added, "The numbers are shocking."Footage shows people lying on the ground outside WalmartWalmart issued a statement regarding the shooting, saying, "We're in shock over the tragic events at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso. ... We're praying for the victims, the community & our associates, as well as the first responders."Inside the mall, crowds hid inside stores after hearing reports of an active shooter, according to 26-year-old Brandon Chavez, an employee at Forever 21.Chavez had just started his shift when he saw customers and staff members running to the stock room to take shelter."There were about 20 children and adults, plus employees, hiding, all cramped like sardines," he told CNN. "Most of us were desperate, some were on their phones. There were girls crying, people trying to talk to each other and women with babies in their arms."Store employees had closed the glass doors but he could see police officers walking around the mall and evacuating people from other stores.After police officers knocked on the store's doors, Chavez said his group had to leave the store, forming a line with their hands up and running.In a shaky Snapchat video aired by CNN, a woman holding the camera frantically runs with a small group of girls or women through a mall department store and into a parking lot.As the group hurries past racks of clothes and cases of merchandise, voices off camera shout, "Hands up!"Once in the parking lot, one member of the group asks, "What happened?""I don't know," the woman holding the camera responds. "I don't know."Another video, shot from outside the Walmart, showed people lying on the ground, some of them next to a table set up by the store's entrance."There's a man lying down at the stand that a school set up," the man holding the camera says in Spanish."Help!" a man screams in English."We need CPR," someone else says. "We need CPR."'Our community will heal,' mayor saysMayor Dee Margo said Saturday evening that his city would rise above this "senseless and evil act of violence.""We will be defined by the unity and compassion we showed in the wake of this tragedy," he said. "United, our community will heal."Nowhere was that spirit more on display than at blood donation centers. Donations were urgently needed, and authorities said if local residents wanted to help, they should make appointments.Frances Yepez, waiting in line at one blood donation center, said the center was at max capacity and dozens of people were waiting to make appointments for Sunday or Monday."It's easy to make a dollar, but it's harder to make a difference," she said. "So I get out there and do whatever I can do to help."She said the mood there was somber, and she could hear sniffling as the crowd of people learned updates over the television.President calls shootings 'an act of cowardice'President Donald Trump tweeted his "heartfelt thoughts and prayers.""Today's shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice," the President wrote. "I know that I stand with everyone in this country to condemn today's hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people."Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, who once represented the area in Congress, addressed the shooting while at a speaking event in Las Vegas."We know there is a lot of injury, a lot of suffering in El Paso right now," he said. "I am incredibly sad and it is very hard to think about this.""But I'll tell you, El Paso is the strongest place in the world," he added. "This community is going to come together."O'Rourke said he would be cutting short his trip to return to El Paso.The scene was unfolding in the same week two employees were fatally shot at 7124

Val¨¦rie P¨¦cresse, the President of the ?le-de-France region in which Paris lies, has told reporters that the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral was an accident. "This was an accident. It wasn¡¯t intentional," she said.P¨¦cresse said the region would unlock an emergency fund of €10 million euros (.3 million) to help in the rebuild efforts.The cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is home to scores of priceless artifacts, artwork and relics collected over the centuries, each with their own story.As a devastating fire tore through the revered Gothic cathedral on Monday, toppling its spire, many feared these treasures might be lost forever.A "forest" of wooden latticework fueled the blaze which consumed the building's roof, whose framework dates back to the 13th century, according to Msgr. Patrick Chauvet, the cathedral's rector.The Paris Fire Brigade tweeted that the cathedral's stone construction has been "saved," as have the "main works of art." As more information emerges, what has been rescued from Notre Dame is becoming apparent.Yet many details, such as possible water damage from the operation to save the building, are still unclear.What was saved? The Crown of Thorns, which some believe was placed on the head of Jesus and which the cathedral calls its "most precious and most venerated relic," was rescued from the fire, according to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.? Hidalgo confirmed the Tunic of Saint Louis and other "major" works were also saved.? The facade and twin bell towers, the tallest structures in Paris until the completion of the Eiffel Tower in the late 19th century, survived the blaze.The North tower was completed in 1240 and the South tower in 1250.? The cathedral's main bell, Emanuelle, lives in the South tower. It has marked significant moments in French history, such as the end of World War II, as well as holidays and special occasions.? The Rose windows are a trio of immense round stained-glass windows over the cathedral's three main portals that date back to the 13th century. The Archbishop of Paris said all three have been saved, reports CNN affiliate BFM TV.? The original Great Organ, one of the world's most famous musical instruments, dates back to medieval times. Over the years, organ makers renovated the instrument and added onto it, but it still contained pipes from the Middle Ages before Monday's fire.The position of titular organist, or head organist, carries great prestige in France and around the world. The Archbishop of Paris confirmed the organ is safe, reports CNN affiliate BFM TV.Fate of other artifacts unconfirmed"We managed to protect the most precious treasures in a safe place," a Paris City Hall spokesperson told CNN.However it has not been confirmed whether individual items such as a fragment of the True Cross and one of the Holy Nails were saved.? There were also numerous sculptures, statues and paintings inside the cathedral depicting Biblical scenes and saints.One series of 76 paintings, each nearly four meters tall, commemorates the New Testament's Acts of the Apostles, including the crucifixion of St. Peter and the conversion of St. Paul. The works were completed between 1630 and 1707 by the members or associates of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.Another painting is from a series by Jean Jouvenet depicting the life of the Virgin Mary. All six from the series used to be in the cathedral. They were moved to the Louvre in the 1860s, and only "The Visitation" was returned to Notre Dame.A portrait from 1648 of St. Thomas Aquinas also graced the cathedral's interiors.? It is not yet clear how much damage there is to the cathedral's exterior, where a menagerie of menacing gargoyles and chimeras stand guard and a system of flying buttresses support the outside walls.A Paris police source told CNN that part of the vault has collapsed in the central nave, and architects are checking whether the structure is stable.? The cathedral also has an archaeological crypt under the courtyard. It was created to protect 19th-century relics that were discovered during excavations in 1965. It opened to the public in 1980. 4127

WASHINGTON ¨C New York Rep. Chris Collins submitted his resignation Monday ahead of his expected guilty plea Tuesday to federal charges in an insider trading case, according to the House Speaker's office, court documents and a person familiar with the matter.Collins sent a letter of resignation Monday to the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to her spokesman, who said Collins's resignation will be effective Tuesday.The first sitting congressman to back President Donald Trump's bid for the White House, Collins was reelected to office several months after he was originally indicted in the insider trading case.He faced reelection in 2020, and a guilty plea wouldn't necessarily have caused him to immediately lose his congressional seat unless he resigned or if the House of Representatives were to expel him, which would require a full vote of the House.It's not clear if Collins, who was charged by the Manhattan US Attorney's office, is set to plead guilty to precisely the same set of charges contained in the indictment against him, which was originally filed in August 2018 and was revised the following August.Collins' attorneys, Jonathan New and Jonathan Barr, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.Collins' co-defendants -- his son and another man -- are also set to change their pleas on Thursday, according to court filings.Collins and his co-defendants had pleaded not guilty twice in the case, once after the original set of charges in August 2018 and a second time -- to the revised charges contained in what's known as a superseding indictment -- earlier this month.Federal prosecutors in the Manhattan US Attorney's office allege that the defendants acted on non-public information about the results of a drug trial, which was then used to trade on the stock of the pharmaceutical company, Innate Immunotherapeutics Limited, of which Collins was a board member.The indictment didn't allege that Collins himself traded on information about the failed results of a drug trial, but that he passed the information to his son so that his son could execute trades. The superseding indictment narrowed the charges against Collins, dropping some, but not all, of the securities fraud counts.Speaking outside the courthouse after his second not guilty plea, Collins said he hadn't decided whether to run for reelection in 2020, adding that he would decide by the end of this year. "I look forward to being exonerated in due course," he said at the time. 2504
