KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl celebration has become the latest backdrop for a mass shooting as gunfire sent fans scrambling for cover and left 21 people wounded and one woman dead. At least eight children are among those who were shot. Wednesday’s shooting outside the city's historic Union Station happened despite the presence of more than 800 police officers on hand for the parade. Police say three people were taken into custody and firearms were recovered. But no details have been given about those who were detained or possible motive.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has gathered highly sensitive intelligence about Russian anti-satellite weapons that has been shared in recent weeks with the upper echelons of government. That's according to four people who have been briefed on the intelligence but were not authorized to comment publicly. Administration officials declined to publicly address the nature of the threat. House Speaker Mike Johnson cautioned against being overly alarmed.





KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Officials say a missile strike on the Russian city of Belgorod near the Ukraine border has killed five people, including a child, and injured 18 others, in what appears to be the latest exchange of long-range missile and rocket fire between the two countries. Hours earlier, Russia fired cruise and ballistic missiles at a broad area of Ukraine, hitting multiple regions after a midnight strike in Ukraine’s northeast killed four people in an apartment building.




RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli forces have stormed the main hospital in southern Gaza in what the army says is a limited operation seeking the remains of hostages taken by Hamas. Thursday's raid came a day after the army sought to evacuate thousands of displaced people who had taken shelter at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

NABATIYEH, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanon's state-run news agency says the civilian death toll from two Israeli strikes in Lebanon the day before has now risen to 10, making it the single deadliest day since in more than four months of near-daily cross-border exchanges. Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate for Wednesday's strikes, which hit in the city of Nabatiyeh and a village in southern Lebanon just hours after projectiles from Lebanon killed an Israeli soldier and wounded eight.

ATLANTA (AP) — The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump is set to hear arguments on whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be removed from the case.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A trial is scheduled to begin Thursday in North Dakota's years-old lawsuit seeking $38 million from the federal government for policing protests of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016-17.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration is giving airports $970 million for improvements in terminals including things like wider concourses, new baggage-handling systems, and more gates.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden avoided criminal charges around his handling of classified documents in part because of his answers during a lengthy interview with the special counsel investigating him. But the sit-down has also opened Biden to scrutiny over his age and memory. Now, the public release of a transcript of that discussion is being sought by both Biden's allies and critics, both sides looking for a political edge.
