(AP) \u2014 The House chamber at the North Dakota Capitol will be used as a courtroom for a pair of high-profile criminal trials this spring, in part to ensure social distancing. The two trials had been scheduled in courthouses in Burleigh and Morton counties. The trial of two people charged in the death last year of a Bismarck man is scheduled to begin Monday. Separately, the trial for a man accused of killing four people at a Mandan business is set to begin June 7 at the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A jury in Burleigh County will decide if a Moffit man charged in a fatal stabbing committed murder or was acting in self-defense. Forty-eight-year-old Arthur Funk is charged in the June 2020 death of 53-year-old Kevin Stockert, of Mandan. Prosecutors say the two men fought when Funk, who had been staying with Stockert\u2019s girlfriend, failed to return her car. Prosecutor Chase Lingle says Stockert was stabbed numerous times, suffered a broken rib and was left to die with Funk making no attempt to call for medical help. Defense attorney Scott Rose told jurors that Funk was still in the driver\u2019s seat of a car when he was punched by Stockert, the two struggled and Stockert had no other option but to defend himself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MOORHEAD, Minn.

A 17-year-old girl is accused of driving the car that was used when taxi driver 24-year-old Abdullahi Abdullahi was killed last week during an alleged armed robbery. The girl is being held in the West Central Juvenile Detention Center on possible charges of aiding and abetting three charges, including second-degree murder without intent. Eighteen-year-old Willie Sparkman Jr. is charged n Abdullahi\u2019s death. A criminal complaint states investigators connected Sparkman and the 17-year-old to Abdullahi\u2019s death via phone records.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In sports\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-98365\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Softballl-VCSU-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Softballl-VCSU-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Softballl-VCSU-260x175.jpg 260w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Softballl-VCSU.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Valley City\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vcsuvikings.com\/article\/4075\">VCSU)<\/a>\u00a0 The Valley City State University softball team was not selected to compete in the NAIA Softball National Championship Opening Round, the national office announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The 40 teams that will compete in the opening round were revealed\u00a0Tuesday afternoon, and VCSU was not among the eight teams selected for at-large tournament berths.

The volleys killed a 50-year-old woman who was the third Israeli citizen killed on Tuesday. The attack set off air raid sirens across the city and closed the main international airport. Hamas said it launched a total of 130 rockets, its most intense strike so far, in response to Israel\u2019s destruction of a high-rise building in Gaza earlier in the evening. The sound of the outgoing rockets could be heard in Gaza. As the rockets made their way up in the skies, mosques across Gaza blared with chants of \u201cGod is great,\u201d \u201cvictory to Islam\u201d and \u201cresistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 A man accused of killing eight people in shootings at three Atlanta-area massage businesses has been indicted on murder charges. Six of the victims were women of Asian descent. A Fulton County prosecutor says she\u2019ll seek hate crime charges and the death penalty after a grand jury indicted 22-year-old Robert Aaron Long on murder charges Tuesday. The indictment only covers the four killings that happened at two spas in Atlanta. It will be up to a separate grand jury in Cherokee County to decide on charges in the shooting at a spa near suburban Woodstock in which four were killed and one person was wounded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 A seven-month investigation by the Associated Press and the Oxford Internet Institute, a department at Oxford University, found that China\u2019s rise on Twitter has been powered by an army of fake accounts that have retweeted Chinese diplomats and state media tens of thousands of times. The accounts covertly amplified propaganda that can reach hundreds of millions of people \u2014 often without disclosing the fact that the content is government-sponsored. The move onto Western social media comes as China wages a war for influence \u2014 both at home and abroad \u2014 on the internet, which President Xi Jinping has called \u201cthe main battlefield\u201d for public opinion. Twitter and Facebook are blocked inside China.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) \u2014 Sean Parnell is expected to announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania\u2019s open U.S. Senate seat. He scheduled a news conference Tuesday afternoon in suburban Pittsburgh. Parnell is a decorated Army veteran and regular guest on Fox News programs who became a favorite of former President Donald Trump. Parnell unsuccessfully challenged Democratic U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb in western Pennsylvania last year. The Senate seat in the presidential battleground state is being left open after two-term Republican Sen. Pat Toomey announced in October that he wouldn&#8217;t run again. Both the Democratic and Republican fields are getting crowded, with next year\u2019s primary election still a year away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden is expected to nominate former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Japan. That&#8217;s according to a person familiar with the president\u2019s decision who was not authorized to comment about the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday. Emanuel is a former three-term congressman who served as Barack Obama\u2019s first White House chief of staff and was a senior adviser in Bill Clinton\u2019s administration. Biden had considered Emanuel to serve as his transportation secretary but ultimately passed him over in the face of fierce opposition from some in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party and liberal activists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>EDEN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Authorities say a suspect shot and killed two central Texas sheriff\u2019s deputies and critically wounded a city employee while they were responding to a complaint about a dog at a home. Sgt. Justin Baker, of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Tuesday that the suspect was taken into custody after Monday night\u2019s attack in Eden, a city of about 1,300 people roughly 210 miles southwest of Dallas. He says that while the two Concho County sheriff\u2019s deputies and city employee were making contact with people at a home, \u201can altercation occurred and quickly escalated to gunfire.&#8221; Authorities haven\u2019t released details about the suspect, including the person\u2019s name, age, sex or what charges the person is facing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CHAMBLEE, Georgia (AP) \u2014 As the shutdown of a major fuel pipeline entered into its fifth day, companies and government officials took steps to stave off potential fuel shortages, although no widespread disruptions of fuel supplies were reported Tuesday morning. Colonial Pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast, was hit by a cyberattack on Friday. By Tuesday the company had restored some fuel delivery service, but the main artery of the pipeline remained shut down.
