FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A man accused of fatally shooting his mother and a North Dakota police officer after authorities tried to serve him with eviction papers has told a jury he feared for his life and didn’t mean to kill anyone. Forty-two-year-old Salamah Pendleton is facing two counts of murder for the deaths of Lola Moore and Grand Forks police Officer Cody Holte in a May 2020 shootout at an apartment Pendleton shared with Moore. Pendleton said he wanted to surrender to authorities but was traumatized when he saw his mother’s body in the hallway. He said he was aiming for the legs of the officers but his vision was impaired because he wasn’t wearing his glasses. Closing arguments are scheduled Tuesday.

 

 

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man is being held on suspicion of murder in the fatal shooting of a woman, Minot Police Department says it received a call just before 5 p.m. Sunday of a woman who had been shot in northwest Minot. Officers arrived to find her dead. A police department statement says the investigation led them to the suspect, a 41-year-old Minot man. Police say they spotted him in a vehicle, and he attempted to flee. He was arrested in northeast Minot after a chase. Police gave no details on a motive or on any relationship between the victim and suspect.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Police say an 18-year-old motorcyclist has died in a crash in Bismarck. Police say an SUV was turning left from Washington Street onto Slate Drive when the motorcycle crashed into the passenger side door around 11 a.m. Sunday. The driver of the motorcycle died. Police did not immediately release the person’s identity. The two people in the SUV did not request medical attention. Sgt. Dustin Miller says speed appeared to be a factor in the crash.

 

 

In sports….

 

MLB.

HOME RUN DERBY…

— Pete Alonso danced to his second straight Home Run Derby title, besting Shohei Ohtani, Trey Mancini and Juan Soto on a night of record long balls in the thin Rocky Mountain air of Coors Field. The New York Mets first baseman hit 74 total home runs and beat Mancini 23-22 in the final round, joining Ken Griffey Jr. (1998-99) and Yoenis Céspedes (2013-14) in winning consecutive titles. Batting second, Alonso trailed 22-17 after the first two minutes of the final round, then hit six homers on six swings over the first 28 seconds of his final minute.

ALL STAR GAME…

UNDATED (AP) — Fans and players who will be at Coors Field for the MLB’s All-Star Game are both looking forward to the Greatest Sho on Earth. That’s S-H-O as in Shohei Ohtani.

Shohei Ohtani is the top star of baseball’s midsummer classic, the center of attention for players and fans like no one before. Fans cheered when he was introduced at a news conference located outdoors, across the street from Coors Field due to the pandemic.

Ohtani has generated huge buzz across baseball for his exploits at the plate and on the mound. He leads the majors with 33 home runs and is 4-1 with a 3.49 ERA in 13 starts. Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals will start for the NL in the game at Coors Field in Denver.

 

— Arrest documents say a man described by authorities as the leader of a group of four people arrested with more than a dozen weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at a Denver hotel near the upcoming Major League Baseball All-Star Game asked to extend his stay and requested another room with a balcony. The request by Ricardo Rodriquez coupled with the discovery of weapons and tactical gear on Friday concerned police because of the chances for mass violence at such events. Rodriquez told Denver’s KCNC-TV that he wasn’t aware of any such plans.

— Major League Baseball will give at least $100 million over 10 years and help raise an additional $50 million to the Players Alliance aimed at increasing the number of Blacks playing the sport and eventually making the big leagues. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the decision before the All-Star Home Run Derby, saying it would be the sport’s largest charitable commitment. The Players Alliance was launched last year, and MLB and the Major League Players Association announced a $10 million commitment last September. In addition, 500 players donated a portion of their salaries on April 15, Jackie Robinson Day.

— The Seattle Mariners have reinstated left-hander Yusei Kikuchi from the injured list, making him eligible to participate in the All-Star Game. Kikuchi was selected to the American League All-Star team for the first time in his career and is Seattle’s lone representative. The Mariners placed Kikuchi on the injured list Sunday but did not disclose an injury. Manager Scott Servais said he could not comment but wasn’t concerned about Kikuchi’s status.

NHL NEWS-LIGHTNING-BOAT PARADE

Lightning celebrate another Stanley Cup win with boat parade

UNDATED (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship with a boat parade in downtown Tampa on Monday.

Team captain Steven Stamkos set the tone with a T-shirt that read: “BACK TO BOAT.” Hundreds of boats and other watercraft, along with thousands of fans, lined the waterfront under mostly sunny skies. However, a post-parade rally in a downtown park was delayed because of a thunderstorm. Players later arrived and interacted with fans located behind barricades in a steady rain. This was the third boat parade in Tampa in 10 months. The Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers also celebrated on the water.

In other NHL news:

— The Chicago Blackhawks have traded two-time Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith to the Edmonton Oilers for young defenseman Caleb Jones and a third-round draft pick. The Blackhawks also sent forward Tim Soderlund to the Oilers, who were looking for some help on defense after they were swept by Winnipeg in the first round of the playoffs. The 2022 draft pick becomes a second-rounder if Edmonton reaches next year’s Stanley Cup Final and Keith is among the top four Oilers defensemen in total ice time through three rounds. Keith has two years left on his contract at a salary-cap hit just over $5.5 million. He turns 38 on Friday.

— Police in Michigan have turned over their investigation into the fireworks death of Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks (MAH’-tihs kihv-LEH’-nihks) to a prosecutor for review. Novi police Lt. Jason Meier says his department has not requested charges in Kivlenieks’ Fourth of July death. Meier also says Kivlenieks’ death still is considered accidental and the police investigation was complete unless otherwise directed by the Oakland County prosecutor’s office.The 24-year-old died of chest trauma from an errant fireworks mortar blast.

— An attorney who represents a former Chicago Blackhawks player who alleges he was sexually assaulted by a then-assistant coach in 2010 is open to the possibility of her client participating in the team’s review of the accusations under the right conditions. Susan Loggans, an attorney who represents the former player and another person suing the team, says her clients were open to participating in the review.

SOCCER-EURO 2020-RACIST ABUSE

Police investigate racist abuse of three England players

LONDON (AP) — British police have opened investigations into the racist abuse of three Black players who failed to score penalties in England’s shootout loss to Italy in the European Championship final.

The Metropolitan Police department condemned the “unacceptable” abuse of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka and says it will be investigating the “offensive and racist” social media posts published soon after Italy won Sunday’s shootout 3-2 following a 1-1 draw.

The English Football Association says it is “appalled” by the “disgusting behavior.” It adds that social media companies should take action to make their platforms free from this “abhorrent” abuse.

GOLF-BRITISH OPEN

Johnson out after testing positive

SANDWICH, England (AP) — Zach Johnson is the latest player out of the British Open. The R&A says the 2015 British Open champion tested positive for the coronavirus. Johnson played at the John Deere Classic in Illinois on Sunday and had to be tested before getting on a charter flight.

The R&A says Louis de Jager also tested positive and withdrew. He was one of the local qualifiers from two weeks ago.

Ryan Moore earned a spot as the highest finisher not already exempt from the John Deere Classic. Moore chose not to go. That makes 16 players who have withdrawn in the last three weeks.

NFL-LIONS-FULL CAPACITY

Detroit Lions can have Ford Field at full capacity this year

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions say Ford Field can be at full capacity this season, a year after the public did not have access to games during the pandemic. The Lions said the decision was made in large part because of Michigan’s steady COVID-19 vaccination rate.

The team will follow the state’s reopening guidelines and will not require fans to wear masks. The Lions will not ask spectators for proof of vaccination status, but they will encourage unvaccinated fans to wear a face covering.

NYRA-BAFFERT LAWSUIT

Judge questions treatment of suspended horse trainer Baffert

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York federal judge seems sympathetic to horse trainer Bob Baffert’s claims that his May suspension by the New York Racing Association was unconstitutional after Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit failed a postrace drug test.

Judge Carol Bagley Amon at a Brooklyn hearing Monday repeatedly pressed a lawyer for the racing association to explain why the suspension was issued before Baffert was given a chance to defend himself. Attorney Henry Greenberg said Baffert will get a hearing after the association announces the length of his suspension by Aug. 11. The judge seemed dissatisfied with that, asking if that’s “a little too late?”

OLY-CYC-Sagan-Surgery

World champ cyclist Peter Sagan to miss Tokyo Olympics

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) — Three-time world champion Peter Sagan will miss the Tokyo Olympics after he had surgery Monday near Monaco to treat an infection in his right knee that occurred following a crash at the Tour de France.

The Slovak Olympic Committee and the Slovak Cycling Federation say Sagan won’t be able to fully recover in time for the Tokyo Games. The 31-year-old was expected to compete alongside older brother Juraj Sagan in the Olympic road race in 11 days. The Slovak Olympic Committee says Lukáš Kubiš will replace Sagan in Tokyo.

OLY-TOKYO-BACH

IOC’s Bach gives pep talk to Olympic organizing committee in Tokyo

TOKYO (AP) — IOC President Thomas Bach appeared in public today for the first time since arriving in Tokyo last week, and with the pandemic-postponed Olympics opening in just 10 days.

His first stop was the headquarters of the organizing committee to deliver a pep talk with the beleaguered games set to go ahead without fans in almost all venues.

Bach slipped up in his presentation and referred to his Japanese hosts as “Chinese.” He quickly corrected himself. Bach’s visit coincided with the official opening of the Olympic Village on Tokyo Bay. He is scheduled to visit the Japanese city of Hiroshima on Friday in an effort to tie the Olympics to the city’s effort to promote world peace.

 

In world and national news….

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is preparing to lay out the “moral case” for voting rights as he faces growing pressure from civil rights activists and other Democrats. They want the president to do more to combat efforts by Republican-led state legislatures to restrict access to the ballot. Biden has declared that protecting voting rights is the central cause of his presidency. Political headwinds and an evenly divided Senate have greatly restricted Biden’s ability to act. Biden’s much-anticipated speech on voting rights is set for Tuesday afternoon at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dozens of left-leaning organizations are asking Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to schedule a new vote this month on Democrats’ sweeping voting and elections bill. The measure is a top priority for the party, but last month Republicans blocked it from debate. In a letter sent to the New York Democrat on Monday, the groups urged him to once again bring the bill to the Senate floor. But this time, they are asking Senate Democrats to weaken filibuster rules, which require 60 votes to advance most legislation. They want Democrats to push the measure through on a party-line basis.

 

BEIJING (AP) — Global stocks have followed Wall Street higher as investors look ahead to U.S. earnings reports that are expected to show strong profits for major banks. London opened higher and Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong advanced. U.S. futures declined. Encouraged by the spread of vaccination campaigns, investors appear at least temporarily to have shrugged off worries about the more contagious delta variant of the coronavirus. Overnight, Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index rose 0.3% to a new high, led by banks, communications and consumer-oriented stocks. The indexes have hit multiple highs lately in choppy trading.

 

BEIJING (AP) — China has denounced an appeal by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for a U.S.-European “unified front” against what she called Chinese “unfair economic practices” and human rights abuses. Yellen issued the appeal during a meeting with European Union officials in Belgium, reflecting the Biden administration’s strategy of trying to forge alliances following the “America First” policies of former President Donald Trump. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson says Beijing “deplores and rejects” Yellen’s remarks. He says Beijing has “always firmly supported” the multilateral trading system under the World Trade Organization. Biden has said he wants better relations with Beijing but has yet to say whether he will roll back tariff hikes on Chinese goods and other sanctions imposed by Trump.

 

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia has strongly warned the United States against deploying its troops in the former Soviet Central Asian nations following their withdrawal from Afghanistan. Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in remarks published on Tuesday that Moscow conveyed the message to Washington during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s summit with U.S. President Joe Biden in Geneva last month. The warning comes as the U.S. military said last week that 90% of the withdrawal of U.S. troops and equipment from Afghanistan is complete. Biden said the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on Aug. 31.
