ST. PAUL -- Before police officers fatally shot a 29-year-old in St. Paul, a man in the area heard a woman saying, “Help me, help me!” and “He’s trying to kill me.” De’Andre Gatewood, who lives in the Dayton’s Bluff apartment building where police responded early Wednesday, March 15, said he also heard the woman saying, “The gun isn’t loaded.

ST. PAUL—A northwestern Minnesota business, already a success story, wants tax breaks and state aid so it can add to its Thief River Falls facility and hire 1,000 more workers in the next decade. Digi-Key President Dave Doherty told a Senate jobs committee Wednesday, March 15, that the company never has asked for state help before, but in an interview said its $307 million expansion project is so complex that it needs the state to participate in three ways: http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4235329-company-seeks-tax-breaks-...
ST. PAUL — The Minnesota House will debate legislation Thursday that could give local school leaders more control over which teachers get cut when budgets are tight or when student enrollment drops. The legislation — Rep.

Andy Armstrong was startled to see a man standing in his bedroom doorway in the middle of the night. Scared, he yelled for the man to get out of his house. By daybreak, he realized the disoriented man was lucky to be alive. Armstrong was "dead tired" when he went to bed about 10 p.m. on Friday, exhausted from a weeklong work trip and desperate to get a good night's sleep before he was back on the job the next morning at the Alexandria, Minn., auto dealership. Little did he know that he forgot to lock a house door. http://www...
WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate for the second time in three months and forecast two additional hikes this year. The move reflects a consistently solid U.S. economy and will likely mean higher rates on some consumer and business loans. The Fed's key short-term rate is rising by a quarter-point to a still-low range of 0.75 percent to 1 percent. The central bank said in a statement that a strengthening job market and rising prices had moved it closer to its targets for employment and inflation. h...
WASHINGTON – The Justice Department announced Wednesday the indictments of two Russian spies and two criminal hackers in connection with the heist of 500 million Yahoo user accounts in 2014, marking the first U.S. criminal cyber charges ever against Russian government officials. The indictments target two members of the Russian intelligence agency FSB — agents who were supposed to help Americans hunt for hackers — and two hackers hired by the Russians. The charges include hacking, wire fraud, trade secret theft and economic espionage, offic...
The primary groups representing Minnesota doctors and hospitals say they oppose the plan to repeal and replace the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA), citing the potential for thousands of state residents to lose coverage. Earlier this month, House Republicans introduced a bill called the American Health Care Act that would effectively eliminate the ACA’s requirement for most people to have health insurance while making big changes to the state-federal Medicaid program. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-hospitals-don-t-bac...
(CNN)Andrew Jackson may be giving way to Harriet Tubman on the face of the $20 bill, but the seventh president's image is on the ascent in the modern White House. On his fifth day in office, President Donald Trump elevated a portrait of his distant predecessor to a place in the Oval Office. On Wednesday, Trump flew south to Nashville, Tennessee, where he visited the Hermitage, Jackson's home, and placed a wreath at his tomb. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/14/politics/donald-trump-andrew-jackson-nashville-visit/index.html...
NASHVILLE – Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, played to his base on Wednesday by paying a visit to the grave of Andrew “Indian Killer” Jackson in Nashville. Trump was there to commemorate the 250th birthday of the Indian Killer. Trump, who is viewed as the most racist president in modern history, seems to take solace in comparing himself to Andrew Jackson, the president who signed the Indian Removal Act, which led to the Trail of Tears – a walk across America for many American Indians. Thousands died during their journey...
Despite a movement to replace President Andrew Jackson with a woman on the $20 bill, it appears the slave-owning Indian killer is here to stay for now. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced this week that Alexander Hamilton — the architect of the first national bank and a critic of slavery — will make way for, or at least share the $10 spotlight with, a woman in 2020. Both Hamilton and Jackson have recently been subjects of off-Broadway shows at The Public Theater in New York. This year, Hamilton was the titular character of a hip-hop mus...

A group of Native American women who were in Washington, D.C. to take part in the Native Nations Rise March are asking for the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) to increase cultural sensitivity training for its workers after the women were forced by staff to remove their jackets, which were adorned with patches and pins supporting water protectors and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s battle against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The patches said, “Water Is Life, Mni Wiconi.” Some of the women had spent time on the ground at the Stand...
Two secret reports on Standing Rock obtained by VICE News show the Canadian spy agency has been monitoring the protest camps and acts of pipeline sabotage in the U.S. and believes they have Canadian implications. The documents shed light on how Canada’s security apparatus viewed the massive mobilization of opposition to the $3-8-billion Dakota Access Pipeline, which the protesters said will destroy sacred sites of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and threaten their water supply. https://news.vice.com/story/canadas-spy-agency-h...

LAS VEGAS—It had the makings of a duel in the desert, the first clash between the legion of marijuana lovers emboldened by a surge of legalization and a new federal administration that has pledged to restore “law and order.” In the days leading up to the Cannabis Cup—which is the pot world’s version of harvest festival, lecture series and outdoor concert rolled into one—it looked like a corner of an Indian reservation an hour north of Las Vegas was going to become a historic battlefield. Nevada had voted last November by a solid 9-point mar...

A major eradication plan will wipe out every last deer on a half dozen islands on Haida Gwaii. The deer kill will also bag fresh meat for school lunches, line up marksmanship training for local youth and lock in plans to fix a damaged landscape. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/major-deer-kill-means-meat-and-marksmanship-for-haida-gwaii-1.4024665...
