Six people were killed and three others, including two police officers, were wounded in attacks Tuesday in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, authorities said. A suspect, identified as 34-year-old Shane James, was being held on capital murder charges, authorities said Wednesday.
Two of the victims who were killed at a home in San Antonio are believed to be the suspect's parents, authorities said Wednesday.
The suspect was charged in Travis County with capital murder, with more charges to come, Interim Austin Police Chief Robin Henderson said. Authorities in Bexar County, which includes San Antonio, are waiting to bring charges for either murder or capital murder for the killings there, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Wednesday.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement that the suspect "must never see the light of day again."

The suspect was in the Army for two years, an Army spokesperson confirmed to CBS News. He was an infantry officer from February 2013 to August 2015, when he left the Army as a first lieutenant. The suspect had not been deployed overseas. Salazar said Wednesday there had been a "domestic violence incident of some sort" that had "something to do with" why he left the military, but did not elaborate on the details....................................

U.S. unveils war crimes charges against 4 Russian-allied troops
Source: npr
December 6, 202310:34 AM ET
The U.S. Justice Department announced war crimes charges Wednesday against four people affiliated with the Russian military for allegedly abducting and torturing an American citizen in Ukraine following the Kremlin's full-scale invasion last year.
The indictment, unsealed in the Eastern District of Virginia, marks the first time the U.S. has brought war crimes charges in connection with the Russian assault on Ukraine. Ukrainian prosecutors, meanwhile, have brought their own separate and unrelated war crimes cases against Russian troops since the war began.
"As the world has witnessed the horrors of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, so has the United States Department of Justice," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "The Justice Department will work for as long as it takes to pursue accountability and justice for Russia's war of aggression."
Court papers identify two of the defendants as Suren Seiranovich Mkrtchyan and Dmitry Budnik — both commanding officers in Russia's military or the Donetsk People's Republic's forces. The other two defendants are Valerii LNU (last name unknown) and and Nazar LNU, who were lower-ranking military personnel. .............................

Post-Dobbs bans leave 14 states with no abortion clinics
Source: raw story
Brett Wilkins, December 6, 2023 7:15AM ET
Scores of independent reproductive health centers have been forced to close or stop offering abortion care, with 14 states now having no abortion clinics, a report published Tuesday revealed.
Abortion Care Network (ACN) released its annual Communities Need Clinics report, which details how "abortion bans, extremist harassment, and the financial realities of operating community-based clinics make it increasingly difficult for independent clinics to stay open" after the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court canceled half a century of federal abortion rights in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization a year-and-a-half ago.
As a result, 65 independent reproductive care clinics have shut down or stopped performing abortions since June 2022. The following states now have no clinics providing abortion care: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
"Even in states where abortion remains legal, medically unnecessary restrictions, financial barriers associated with operating a health center, and the constant work of protecting against anti-abortion extremism make it challenging for many clinics to keep their doors open at all," the report states.

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" has topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time since it was released in 1958. The holiday classic outperformed familiar chart-topper Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which came in at No. 2.
"Rockin'" was streamed nearly 35 million times between the Friday after Thanksgiving and Thursday, according to Billboard. The news follows last month's release of a music video for the song, which Lee has said she knew was special when she first heard it as a child.
"I wanted to do it, and we did," she told CMT, a division of Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.................................................

It's now the single with the longest run from its release to the No. 1 spot — 65 years. It debuted on the Hot 100 in 1960, then took just under 63 years to hit the top, setting a record for the longest climb ever to No. 1.

Texas woman asks judge to let her terminate pregnancy after lethal fetal diagnosis
Source: texas tribune
In an emergency request, the Center for Reproductive Rights is asking a judge to allow Kate Cox to terminate her pregnancy after she received a lethal fetal diagnosis.
Eleanor Klibanoff Dec. 5, 2023 Updated: 1 hour ago
A Texas woman has filed an emergency lawsuit, asking a Travis County judge to allow her to terminate her pregnancy.
This is the first time since before Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973 that an adult woman has asked a court to intervene to allow her to terminate a pregnancy, and the first lawsuit of its kind since Texas banned almost all abortions in 2022.
Kate Cox, a 31-year-old Dallas woman, learned last week that her fetus was diagnosed with full trisomy 18, a chromosomal anomaly that is almost always fatal before or soon after birth. The fetus is developing with an umbilical hernia, a twisted spine, a club foot and an irregular skull and heart, according to the lawsuit.
Cox, who already has two children, both delivered by Cesarean section, also has elevated glucose and underlying health conditions. The lawsuit alleges she is at increased risk of gestational hypertension and diabetes and complications from anesthesia and cesarean section, if she were to carry the pregnancy to term...................

It is bad enough to hear it is a fetal diagnosis but now is forced to carry to term--if judge decides so.
