It’s been a chaotic and frightening day in both Michigan and Virginia.  First, just outside of Detroit, a vehicle  driven by a man armed with a rifle rammed a synagogue.  Security fired shots and the vehicle burst into flames inside the synagogue.  The would-be shooter was killed, but there are concerns about incendiary devices that may still be inside the vehicle.  In Virginia, one victim is dead, two others injured after a gunman opened fire on Old Dominion University’s campus just before 11am.  The gunman is dead, but investigators are now trying to determine what happened and why, as classes have been cancelled for the rest of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A grand jury has indicted 22-year-old Laken Snelling with the much more serious charge of first degree manslaughter for the death of her newborn baby last August.
