The Weekly Scramble

Another mass shooting in Minneapolis by a man who should have been in jail, when is enough going to be enough??
Law enforcement says three people are dead after at least six people, including two police officers, were shot in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon. A source confirmed that one of the dead, the suspect, died by suicide.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is now investigating the use-of-force by Minneapolis police officers, although the extent of that force is still unclear.
Some residents began returning to Loring Towers — all but the ninth floor has reopened so far — as cleanup continued Thursday. However, some residents can’t yet return due to damage from the shooting.
The shelter that had been helping residents since Wednesday evening has closed since the apartment reopened.
Lindsay Clancy jury deliberates a 6th day, one deadlock report away from a possible mistrial
A tense moment played out at the defense table in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial Thursday, as her attorney, Kevin Reddington, gestured with papers in his hand and then stepped over to speak with Clancy.

The scene came as the jury of nine women and three men continued to deliberate. Jurors have twice reported they were deadlocked, and the judge has urged them to keep working toward a verdict.

Clancy faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan. She does not dispute killing them but says she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

• Jurors in Lindsay Clancy’s trial are continuing their deliberations after they informed the judge this morning they were unable to reach a unanimous decision. The judge sent them back to keep deliberating.
• The Massachusetts mother is accused of murder after strangling her three young children. The jury could consider charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter.
• Prosecutors have argued Clancy acted “intentionally, rationally, and swiftly” to kill her children. The defense, however, has argued Clancy should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. If the jury finds Clancy not criminally responsible for the killings of her children, she could spend the rest of her life in a hospital.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York looked stunned as police descended on his rental vehicle when he tried to meet up with a $160 prostitute in an Ohio trailer park — while still wearing his wedding ring, bodycam footage obtained by the California Post shows.
York, dressed in a Yankees T-shirt, basketball shorts and tennis shoes, was pulled over in his rental Volkswagen SUV in East Palestine by officers and quickly taken into custody without issue, according to the footage.
One of the cops later discovered two of York’s phones in the rental car’s center console, the footage shows. When police sent a test text to York from the number listed on the undercover ad that led him to the trailer park, one of the phones is seen lighting up with an apparent notification that featured the words “the nude girl.”
York was at the mobile park home after he had agreed to shell out $160 to a woman for sex after reaching out to her through the ad on a website known for prostitution, according to a Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force incident report.

Dolly Parton, the country singer, songwriter, entertainer and entrepreneur whose rags-to-riches story, outsize persona and prodigious vision and talent placed her in a class by herself, died on Tuesday in Nashville. She was 80.
The death was announced in a video posted on social media by her nephew, Bryan Seaver. No cause was provided. Concerns about Ms. Parton’s health, which began last year as she postponed and later canceled a Las Vegas residency, grew to the point that she took to social media last fall to confirm that “I ain’t dead yet.” In May, she said she had responded well to treatment after, as she put it, her immune and digestive systems “got all out of whack” in recent years.
Ms. Parton’s life, as depicted in autobiographical songs like “Coat of Many Colors” and “My Tennessee Mountain Home,” was the stuff of make-believe, from her hardscrabble beginnings in Appalachia to her glittering stardom in Nashville and beyond.
The writer Chet Flippo likened her to the Big Rock Candy Mountain, the Depression-era symbol of abundance personified by Ms. Parton’s voluptuous figure, rhinestone-studded stage costumes and blonde bouffant wigs. Her songs spoke to millions, confronting privation and loss even as they radiated possibility and hope.
