For a second day, survivors and families of the victims of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School went inside the building, where everything remains as it was that tragic day.The 1200 building is surrounded by a chain-link fence. It has not been changed, cleaned or used since the day of the massacre on Feb. 14, 2018. Families and those connected with the building began going inside the building since it reopened for the private visits on Wednesday.They decided to make the visit for several reasons — some to retrieve belongings, others to reflect and close this painful chapter as best as possible. It was their first time entering since the Valentine’s Day massacre, and possibly their last, because of a potential demolition in the upcoming months. Isabel Chequer was one of the students who returned to the building with her family to claim her belongings left in the classroom from that day. “I saw Helena, I noticed that she had passed away,” said Ch...

Victims’ families walk though Parkland school massacre site, untouched for 5 years as evidence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:35 GMT

PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — For more than five years, the bloodstained halls and classrooms where 17 people died in the Parkland school shooting has remained locked away and mostly untouched — not even the victims’ families were allowed inside.That changed Wednesday, as heart-wrenching private tours began for relatives of the 14 students and three staff members who died. The 17 wounded and their loved ones will also be able to visit the 1200 building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, now that it is no longer needed as evidence in the trials of the convicted killer and the deputy who was just acquitted of failing to stop him.The school district plans to demolish the three-story building, likely replacing it with a memorial.Four families were led through the building Wednesday by prosecutors. Others are scheduled in the coming weeks. There might also be a reenactment of the Valentine’s Day shooting for a still-pending civil lawsuit against the deputy.“I needed to see where my s...

By TIM REYNOLDS (AP Basketball Writer)LAS VEGAS (AP) — San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama said Thursday he believes Britney Spears grabbed him from behind as he was walking into a restaurant at a Las Vegas casino, and that the security detail he was with pushed the pop star away.Wembanyama said he wasn’t told that Spears was the person who grabbed him until hours later.Spears filed a police report saying she was struck by a security guard while trying to get the attention of Wembanyama, a person with knowledge of the matter said Thursday.

FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi; that means Medicare will pay for it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:35 GMT

It’s the first medicine that’s been convincingly shown to modestly slow Alzheimer’s cognitive decline.Japanese drugmaker Eisai received conditional approval from the FDA in January based on early results suggesting Leqembi worked by clearing a sticky brain plaque linked to the disease.The FDA confirmed those results by reviewing data from a larger, 1,800-patient study in which the drug slowed memory and thinking decline by about five months in those who got the treatment, compared to those who got a dummy drug.“This confirmatory study verified that it is a safe and e...
