Police were working Friday to identify a gunman and determine his motive for opening fire at a FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport, killing eight people and taking his own life in the latest mass shooting to rock the U.S. Deputy Chief Craig McCartt of the Indianapolis police said the gunman started randomly shooting at people in the parking lot late Thursday night and then went into the building and continued firing. He said the gunman apparently died by suicide shortly before police entered the building. ¡°There was no confrontation with anyone that was there,¡± he said. ¡°There was no disturbance, there was no argument. He just appeared to randomly start shooting.¡±

(2) 04202021 - Should states set pot policy by its potency?
As marijuana legalization spreads across U.S. states, so does a debate over whether to set pot policy by potency. Under a law signed last month, New York will tax recreational marijuana based on its amount of THC, the main intoxicating chemical in cannabis. Illinois imposed a potency-related tax when recreational pot sales began last year. Vermont is limiting THC content when its legal market opens as soon as next year, and limits or taxes have been broached in some other states and the U.S. Senate¡¯s drug-control caucus. Supporters say such measures will protect public health by roping off, or at least discouraging, what they view as dangerously concentrated cannabis.
