FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The driver of a van has struck and injured a woman and two children in Fargo.
The woman was on a bike and was pulling a wagon carrying the children when they were struck Monday about 7:30 a.m. near Sanford Medical Center.
The van driver tells KFGO he was turning the corner when some items in the vehicle tipped, distracting him. He says he did not see the three crossing the street. They were taken to the hospital. Their conditions were not immediately available.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Police are turning to Facebook and bank records to try to identify a motive for why four people were killed at a North Dakota business two months ago.
Mandan Police Deputy Chief Lori Flaten tells the Bismarck Tribune that police are “trying to cover all the bases” in their investigation of the April 1 deaths of RJR Maintenance and Management co-owner Robert Fakler and three workers. Authorities say they were shot and stabbed at the business in Mandan.
Washburn chiropractor Chad Isaak is facing murder charges in the case.
Court documents show police have sought search warrants for Isaak’s personal and business bank records, as well as victims’ Facebook accounts.
Flaten says it’s possible police will never uncover a motive, but wouldn’t comment on how that could affect Isaak’s prosecution.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An upscale restaurant in Bismarck that’s being sued on behalf of a server who claims she was fired because she became pregnant is denying the woman’s allegation.
Michael Hoffman, an attorney for East 40 Inc., which operates 40 Steak & Seafood, says Erica Davidson was fired in 2015 because she refused to commit to working at least three days a week, not because she was pregnant.
The Bismarck Tribune says the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued East 40 in December for discrimination. Davidson is seeking to intervene as a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The EEOC is seeking an unspecified amount of money to compensate Davidson for lost past and future earnings and for emotional distress, along with punitive damages.
Bismarck (NDDOT) – Law enforcement agencies across the state participated in the national Click It or Ticket enforcement campaign from May 20, 2019 through June 2, 2019 to help save lives on North Dakota roads.
A total of 2,205 citations were attributed to the overtime enforcement patrols. Of the total citations, 841 were citations for failure to wear a seat belt and 28 were child restraint citations. Tickets for speeding totaled 815. The traffic stops also resulted in 276 other traffic citations (i.e. disobeying traffic signals, equipment violations), 62 uninsured motorists, 51 suspended/revoked license violations, 34 drug arrests, 15 citations for distracted driving, 11 warrants served, and eight driving under the influence (DUI) citations.
As of June 1, nearly 70% of North Dakota motor vehicle fatalities were not wearing a seat belt. Failure to use a seat belt is the most significant factor associated with motor vehicle crash injuries and fatalities in North Dakota.
High-visibility enforcement for traffic safety is one element of a collaborative effort to help meet the state’s Vision Zero goal of zero motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota residents vying for a seat on a voter-approved ethics commission are being asked about their political past and examples of leadership, problem solving and unpopular decisions they’ve made.
Nearly 70 people applied to serve on the five-member panel to oversee the conduct of legislators, statewide officials, candidates and lobbyists. It’s considered key to implementing a constitutional amendment to overhaul North Dakota’s government ethics, despite the Republican-led Legislature’s successful push of its own bill they believed met the requirements of the ballot measure.
Republican Gov. Doug Burgum and Senate majority and minority leaders must agree by consensus on who sits on the five-member panel, which is expected to be chosen by July 1. Questionnaires are due June 12.
Burgum spokesman Mike Nowatzki said the governor’s office drafted the more than two dozen-question survey with “input and feedback” from Democratic Senate Minorty leader Joan Heckaman, Republican Senate Majority leader Rich Wardner.
About half of the questions deal with a candidates’ political past, including public positions they’ve held. Lawmakers and people registered as lobbyists may not sit on the panel.
The legislative leaders said ideal candidates would have significant knowledge of government but they won’t be disqualified if they lack it.
“I think we need people who understand administrative rules to get this ship going,” Wardner said.
In world and national news…
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City Fire Department says the pilot of a helicopter that crashed on a Manhattan skyscraper rooftop has died.
The Fire Department says the helicopter crash landed on the top of the tower, which isn’t far from Rockefeller Center and Times Square.
It does not appear anyone else was on board when the crash occurred at around 2 p.m.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters that a fire began when the aircraft hit, but it is under control. Cuomo said it shook the building. He said there are no reports of injuries of people in the tower.
It was not immediately known what type of helicopter was involved.
Videos posted by onlookers showed emergency vehicles in the street, but no obvious damage to the skyscraper.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has met with Germany’s top diplomat amid heightened tensions over the country’s unravelling nuclear accord with world powers.
Rouhani met with Foreign Minister Heiko Maas just after a joint press conference between Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his German counterpart.
Maas’s visit to Tehran is part of European efforts to save the historic 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, and ease heightened tensions with the United States.
The U.S. pulled out of the deal over a year ago, and recently has imposed heavy new sanctions on Iran. In May, Tehran said it would begin enriching uranium closer to weapons grade if Europe didn’t come up with new terms for the deal by July 7.
The tensions between the long-time rivals recently soared when the U.S. deployed an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the Persian Gulf.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is complaining that President Xi Jinping enjoys a major advantage in the U.S.-China trade war in that he controls China’s central bank while Trump must deal with a Federal Reserve that is “very destructive to us.”
Trump makes clear in an interview with CNBC his frustration with a system that provides political independence for America’s central bank — something most economists see as vital to its credibility. Trump notes that China’s president, by contrast, is essentially also head of the Chinese central bank.
“He can do whatever he wants,” Trump says.
Trump also complains that even though he selected four of the Fed’s five board members, including elevating Jerome Powell to chairman, “We have people on the Fed that really weren’t, you know, they’re not my people.”
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A government official says at least 95 people are dead following the latest massacre in central Mali blamed on tensions between ethnic militias.
Interior Security ministry spokesman Amadou Sangho says the attack took place overnight in an ethnic Dogon village. Another 19 people were missing.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bloodshed in the village of Sobane. It comes amid rising tensions between ethnic Dogons and ethnic Peuhls, who had threatened reprisal attacks following a massacre earlier this year.
An ethnic Dogon militia was blamed for that attack on the Peuhl village of Ogossagou that killed more than 150 people in March.
The violence is exacerbated by the presence of Islamic extremists in the area.
(AP) A new study shoots down the notion that medical marijuana laws can prevent opioid overdose deaths.
Researchers repeated an analysis that sparked excitement years ago. It linked medical marijuana laws to slower than expected increases in state prescription opioid death rates.
But the promising connection fell apart when researchers updated the analysis with seven years of recent data.
Authors of the original research welcomed the new analysis.
They had speculated patients might be substituting marijuana for opioid painkillers. But they had warned against drawing conclusions.
The findings were released Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say policymakers should look elsewhere for solutions to the opioid crisis.
