Father who gave gun to Georgia school shooting suspect for Christmas is guilty of 2nd-degree murder

March 3, 2026

By JEFF MARTIN - Associated Press

A Georgia man who gave his teenage son the gun he’s accused of using to kill two students and two teachers at a high school has been convicted of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Colin Gray also was found guilty Tuesday of all other charges in the September 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, northeast of Atlanta. Gray is one of several parents prosecuted after their children were accused in fatal shootings. Prosecutors said Gray gave his son access to a gun and ammunition despite “sufficient warning that Colt Gray would harm and endanger” other people.

Iran war taxes US diplomatic work and leaves Americans in the Mideast in limbo

March 3, 2026

By MATTHEW LEE - AP Diplomatic Writer

The largest U.S. diplomatic drawdown in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq War is creating an apparently unplanned for crisis for the Trump administration. The State Department has been forced to close several embassies to the public, shut down at least one consulate, order the departure of embassy staff and families from at least six nations and advise Americans in 14 countries to leave the region immediately. That’s despite the war closing major airports and causing widespread flight cancellations. The State Department said Tuesday that it was securing military and charter flights for Americans who wish to leave the Middle East.” It’s not clear whether any have been arranged.

War with Iran strains the US-UK relationship as Starmer and Trump disagree

March 3, 2026

By JILL LAWLESS - Associated Press

The U.S.-Israel war on Iran has fueled a disagreement between U.S. President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Britain hasn’t joined in the strikes on Iran and Trump said in an interview published in a British tabloid on Tuesday that the trans-Atlantic relationship is “not what it was.” Starmer initially blocked U.S. planes from using British bases for the first attacks that began on Saturday. He later allowed U.S. bombers to use bases in England and the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to strike Iran’s missile program. Starmer told lawmakers that “any U.K. actions must always have a lawful basis and a viable, thought-through plan.”

High-tech snowplows and AI help cities clean up from big storms

March 3, 2026

By JEFF McMURRAY - Associated Press

Cities across the U.S. have been integrating video monitoring, GPS mapping and artificial intelligence into snow removal operations that once relied almost entirely on manual planning. Public trust seems to be rising as a result. Complaint calls in Syracuse, New York, have dropped by 30% under a new system that lets residents check how often their streets have been plowed. Some cities use GPS to find the nearest snowplow or allow supervisors to watch a video feed in real-time along with the driver. With U.S. cities and states spending upward of $4 billion each year on snow operations, new technology also helps assure the roads aren’t overplowed or oversalted.

An Oscar race that looked like a runaway may be a close call, after all

March 3, 2026

By JAKE COYLE - AP Film Writer

Who says to beware the Ides of March? The upside of a prolonged Oscar race has meant some unexpected late drama. For months, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” sailed through awards season, picking up prize after prize. But the wins for “Sinners” and Michael B. Jordan at Sunday’s Actor Awards have given the Oscar race what Smoke or Stack might call fresh blood. An Academy Awards that had looked like a runaway might be a close call, after all.

Tens of thousands of people are stranded in the Middle East as Iran war complicates routes home

March 3, 2026

By STEFANIE DAZIO, KIRSTEN GRIESHABER and DANIEL NIEMANN - Associated Press

Tens of thousands of people are stranded across the Middle East as the Iran war spreads throughout the region. They range from Romanian religious pilgrims to tourists and diplomats’ family members. Major airlines have canceled flights to and from the region. And airspace across the Gulf is closed. Some of the stranded travelers have been forced to seek shelter amid airstrikes. Others are marooned aboard cruise ships that can’t sail through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. State Department has urged all Americans to leave more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries. The U.S. State Department has also evacuated nonemergency personnel and families in six nations. It added the United Arab Emirates to its list on Tuesday.

Israel sends troops into southern Lebanon as Hezbollah says it is ready for ‘open war’

March 3, 2026

By ABBY SEWELL and BASSEM MROUE - Associated Press

Israel has sent troops into southern Lebanon and told residents of more than 80 villages to evacuate as the Iran-backed militant Hezbollah group said it was ready for an “open war” with Israel in the wake of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Tuesday’s development came after Hezbollah fired rockets and launched drones toward northern Israel the previous day. Israel retaliated with a wave of airstrikes that killed 40 people in Lebanon, including a Palestinian militant and a Hezbollah intelligence official in Beirut’s southern suburbs. A Hezbollah official, Mohamoud Komati, said Israel wanted a war and added: So let it be an open war.”

The principal songwriters of The Guess Who are set to tour the U.S. later this year for the first time in over two decades. Original guitarist Randy Bachman and singer-keyboardist Burton Cummings have already announced a Canadian tour this summer. They are adding more than 20 U.S. dates, starting June 25 in Minneapolis. The last time they toured the U.S. as The Guess Who was in 2001. A trademark dispute with former bandmates delayed their return, but a settlement was reached in September 2024. Bachman and Cummings promise a setlist of classic hits, aiming to honor the music and connect with fans.

A long-shot American dream hits the F1 grid as Cadillac debuts at the Australian GP

March 3, 2026

By JENNA FRYER - AP Auto Racing Writer

Cadillac brings a new American team to the Formula 1 grid as the season opens in Australia. The team makes its racing debut this weekend at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. The project started with Michael Andretti’s bid, but it now belongs to TWG Motorsports and General Motors. The group kept building the car and engine even after F1 first said no. Cadillac signed Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas to lead the effort. The team leases Ferrari engines until its General Motors engines are ready. Many expect early struggles, but Cadillac says it has come to win.

March 3, 2026

By REBECCA SANTANA - Associated Press

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testifies in the Senate as backlash grows over deadly immigration enforcement actions tied to President Donald Trump’s deportation push. Noem appears Tuesday before the Judiciary Committee in her first hearing since two protesters were killed in Minneapolis by Homeland Security officers. Noem’s department sent hundreds of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers to Minnesota. Protesters marched and tracked enforcement activity. An ICE officer shot Renee Good on Jan. 7. Border Protection officers shot Alex Pretti on Jan. 24. The deaths led to demands for accountability. The Republican president sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota. Homan has announced a drawdown of forces there.

Kevin Durant says a wide-open NBA playoff race is fun. It’s hard to argue with that

By TIM REYNOLDS - AP Basketball Writer

Kevin Durant says the NBA’s new salary “aprons” help create real parity, and this season’s title race feels wide open. Durant says fans and teams enjoy not knowing who stands out. He says most teams still tweak lineups and adjust after trades. The West looks especially tight. Houston sits near the top, but a short skid can drop a team fast. On Monday, Rockets coach Ime Udoka said nobody can afford off nights. Betting markets still favor Oklahoma City. Recent history supports chaos. Seven franchises have won the last seven titles.

Netanyahu takes a gamble on American support for Israel with the war against Iran

March 3, 2026

By TIA GOLDENBERG - Associated Press

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has steered his country along two pillars of foreign policy throughout his political career. These are an ironclad partnership with the United States and a relentless diplomatic and covert battle against the rulers of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Now, with Israel and the U.S. in a joint operation against Iran’s leadership, those two strategic paths risk clashing with each other. By enlisting the U.S. in what he views as Israel’s existential battle against Iran, Netanyahu is taking a gamble that could open up the relationship to the strain of a regional war. It also risks testing Israel’s already fraying ties with the American public.

Dutch museum makes ‘needle in a haystack’ confirmation of Rembrandt painting

March 3, 2026

By MIKE CORDER - Associated Press

The Rijksmuseum says a painting once dismissed as “not a Rembrandt” is now confirmed as a work by the Dutch Golden Age master. On Monday, the museum unveils “Vision of Zacharias in the Temple” after two years of close study. Experts used high-tech scans and compared pigments and paint layers with other Rembrandt works. They also dated the wood panel to before 1633, the year on the painting. A private collector bought it in 1961, and it has stayed out of view for decades. The owner, who has remained anonymous, initially asked the museum only if the painting was Dutch.

Democrats’ newfound unity faces a test after US and Israeli strikes on Iran

March 2, 2026

By STEVEN SLOAN - Associated Press

Democrats stay mostly united against President Donald Trump, but the strikes on Iran are starting to reveal some splits in the party. Democrats condemn Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while also pushing a war powers vote to limit Trump. Some pro-Israel Democrats say they will not support that measure. Trump says the operation could last weeks and warns casualties could rise. Democrats point to gas prices and economic swings. The fight also revives tensions over Israel and AIPAC in key primaries.

Giannis Antetokounmpo returns and says he can’t rush back from injuries at age 31

By STEVE MEGARGEE - AP Sports Writer

Giannis Antetokounmpo developed a reputation for making rapid returns from injury during his rise to superstardom, but the Milwaukee Bucks forward acknowledges those days may be drawing to a close. Antetokounmpo had 19 points and 11 rebounds Monday night in Milwaukee’s 108-81 loss to the Boston Celtics, his first action since straining his right calf on Jan. 23. The two-time MVP has missed a career-high 29 games this season, 23 of those with calf injuries. Antetokounmpo says he has to be smart and methodical in his rehab and noted that he’s 31, not 23.

A mess in Texas? What to watch in Tuesday’s primaries

March 2, 2026

By STEVE PEOPLES - AP National Political Writer

The 2026 midterm season begins in earnest on Tuesday with two of the nation’s most consequential Senate primaries playing out in Texas. Republican leaders in Washington openly fret that a victory by conservative firebrand Ken Paxton over four-term incumbent Sen. John Cornyn would give Democrats a good chance of winning the seat come November. The contest has already cost Republicans tens of millions of dollars, and there will be much more spent ahead of a May 26 runoff if no one gets 50% in the three-way primary. Democrats, meanwhile, are picking between two rising stars with conflicting styles, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico.

Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is trying to hold on for a fifth term in Texas’ GOP primary. Democrats will choose whether to send Rep. Jasmine Crockett or state Rep. James Talarico to a November general election where the party once again hopes it has a chance. Tuesday’s primaries in Texas are among the first of the 2026 midterms. Cornyn faces a challenge from MAGA favorite and state Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt. The contest is expected to go to a May runoff. Crockett and Talarico each argue that they are the stronger general election candidate in a state that backed President Donald Trump by 13 points.

White House attributes redness on Trump’s neck to skin cream but doesn’t say what it’s treating

March 2, 2026

By SEUNG MIN KIM - Associated Press

The White House says a red spot on President Donald Trump’s neck comes from a prescribed skin cream. Photographers captured close-up images of the redness during a Medal of Honor ceremony in the East Room on Monday. The president’s doctor says Trump applies a common cream to the right side of his neck. He calls it a preventive treatment. The White House did not answer questions about the cream or what condition it was treating. Zoomed-in photos from at least as far back as Feb. 19 show visible redness on the president’s neck. An April 2025 medical report lists mometasone cream for an unspecified skin issue.

By SEAN MURPHY - Associated Press

Some of the United States’ most important historical documents are beginning a first-of-its kind journey as part of the country’s 250th anniversary commemoration. The documents include the 1783 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the Revolutionary War and the 1774 Articles of Association that urged colonists to boycott British goods. They are rarely moved from their home at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., but will begin an eight-city tour on Monday. The first stop will be at the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. Jim Byron, senior adviser to the acting archivist of the United States, says the documents are typically kept in vaults and have never before traveled together.

In this Minnesota city, it’s tradition to line up for ice cream even when it’s 6 degrees

By JACK DURA - Associated Press

It might still be winter in Minnesota, but spring is in the air for people lined up at the Dairy Queen in Moorhead, Minnesota, for its annual opening. The event is a community tradition, no matter what the weather. The Dairy Queen “heritage store” has operated for 77 years and offers treats found almost nowhere else. People bundled up in coats, hats and gloves in freezing cold to line up Sunday for ice cream treats. March is very much a winter month in the upper Midwest, and the first day of the month can often bring subzero cold or heavy snow. But at the Moorhead Dairy Queen, it seemed like a bit of a summer day — almost.

Edmonds, of Knoxville, Tennessee, died in 1985 and was recognized for his leadership and resistance as a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II.

Supreme Court blocks law against schools outing transgender students to their parents in California

March 2, 2026

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST - Associated Press

The Supreme Court is clearing the way for California schools to tell parents if their children identify as transgender without getting the student’s approval, granting an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group. The Monday order blocks for now a state law that bans schools from requiring educators to inform parents if students change their gender identity or expression at school. The lawsuit came to the court’s emergency docket after religious parents and educators challenged California policies aimed at preventing schools from outing children to their families. The parents say schools misled them and facilitated social transition despite their objections. The state said students have the right to privacy, especially if they fear rejection from their families.

The Detroit Lions traded running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans for offensive lineman Juice Scruggs along with fourth and seventh-round picks, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Detroit dealt a veteran running back who wanted more carries for much-needed depth on the offensive line and extra selections in next month’s draft. The Lions later released 33-year-old offensive lineman Graham Glasgow, who started 14 games last season and has started 136 games in his 10-year career.

Anglicans face a looming choice about whether their global church family can stay united. This week, conservative leaders will meet in Nigeria where they are expected to debate a plan that could loosen or even end ties to the archbishop of Canterbury. Many within the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, or Gafcon, opposed liberal shifts on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ clergy that have taken place in some Western churches. On Monday, leaders of the historic Anglican Communion announced their own restructuring plan that aims to keep cooperation alive despite deep disagreements.

US stocks erase sharp losses, while oil prices leap on worries about Iran war

March 2, 2026

By STAN CHOE - AP Business Writer

Oil prices leaped on worries that war with Iran could clog the flow of crude, while U.S. stocks swung from sharp losses to tiny gains. The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.2% Monday, and cruise lines and airlines led the way lower on worries about higher fuel bills. But U.S. stocks quickly erased those losses, in part because past military conflicts haven’t usually created sustained drops for the market. The index finished with a gain of less than 0.1%. The Dow dipped 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.4%. Oil and defense stocks rallied. Treasury yields rose with worries about inflation.

In Their Words: How Trump’s and his administration’s statements on Iran evolved and conflicted

March 2, 2026

By MICHELLE L. PRICE, BEN FINLEY and WILL WEISSERT - Associated Press

President Donald Trump and his team have given shifting and sometimes conflicting reasons for striking Iran, even as they claim the mission a total success. After the first round of strikes on Iran in June 2025, the president and his top aides said U.S. bombs had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program. But, in the runup to this weekend’s new round of attacks, Trump and leading administration officials warned again that Iran was close to a bomb. Trump has also changed his mind on regime change. After mocking it in the past, he’s warmed to the idea.

War in the Mideast widens as Trump says strikes on Iran could last several weeks

March 2, 2026

By JON GAMBRELL, MELANIE LIDMAN and SAMY MAGDY - Associated Press

The war in the Middle East spiraled further as Israel and the U.S. pounded Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump said the campaign would likely take several weeks. Tehran and its allies hit back Monday against Israel, neighboring Gulf states and targets critical to the world’s energy production. The intensity of the attacks, the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, and the lack of any apparent exit plan indicated the conflict would not end anytime soon. Israel launched retaliatory attacks in Lebanon after Hezbollah fired missiles at it, and an Israeli military official did not rule out another ground invasion.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has spoken to widening concerns the U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran could spiral into a protracted regional conflict by declaring: “This is not Iraq. This is not endless.” Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine on Monday held the Trump administration’s first news briefing since Saturday’s strikes. Trump, Hegseth and Caine haven’t suggested any exit plan or offered signs the conflict would end anytime soon. They’ve said more American casualties are likely following the deaths of six service members. Hegseth says the operation is meant to eliminate the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles, destroy the country’s navy and ensure “no nukes.”

Investigators are poring over thousands of hours of video and police say there are more than 150 witnesses to interview. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis says the shooter legally bought the weapons several years ago.

Videos of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton answering questions about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are being released by a House committee investigating the late financier. The depositions spanned hours over two days last week. They were expected to show how both Clintons distanced themselves from Epstein. Bill Clinton told the committee he had ended his relationship with Epstein years before the financier entered a guilty plea in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl. Hillary Clinton said she never even recalled meeting Epstein. Still, they faced hours of questioning under oath from lawmakers who are searching for accountability for anyone who was aware or ignored Epstein’s abuse of underage girls.

A Christmas rifle, possible warning signs and 41 seconds of gunfire: jurors weigh Colin Gray’s fate

The defense says the real blame sits with the teen, and says no one could foresee the attack. The shooting killed two students and two teachers in 41 seconds. The boy faces dozens of charges.
