Families fear more delays in Texas school shooting case
Family members of those killed and injured during a 2018 attack on a Texas high school in which 10 people were fatally shot expressed concern on Thursday the case against the accused gunman- delayed for years over questions of his mental competency- could be further held up pending removal of the trial judge, facing allegations of bias and prior legal ties to the defendant. “We don’t even have any confidence we’re ever going to trial at this point,” said Scot Rice, whose wife Flo, was one of 23 people shot and injured during the attack at Santa Fe High School on May 18, 2018.

Twitter begins removing blue checks from users who don’t pay
This time it’s for real. Many of Twitter’s high-profile users are losing the blue checks that helped verify their identity and distinguish them from impostors on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. After several false starts, Twitter began making good on its promise on Thursday to remove the blue checks from accounts that don’t pay a monthly fee to keep them. Twitter had about 300,000 verified users under the original blue-check system — many of them journalists, athletes and public figures. The checks — which used to mean the account was verified by Twitter to be who it says it is — began disappearing from these users’ profiles late morning Pacific Time.

Tornadoes kill 3 in Oklahoma; new storms possible on Thursday
Tornadoes plowed through Oklahoma during another deadly spring storm in the US, killing at least three people and damaging dozens of homes in a hard-hit rural town. Forecasters warned on Thursday that more severe weather was still possible. A day after at least eight tornadoes spun through Oklahoma, Gov. Kevin Stitt said authorities were still assessing the scale of destruction and injuries. He toured the aftermath in Shawnee, where nearly every building on the campus of Oklahoma Baptist University showed damage. A home improvement store was destroyed, but several people sheltering inside survived. Two long-term care facilities and a hospital were also damaged there.
