The patrol says the 73-year-old Killdeer woman had pulled over on the shoulder of the highway and was walking across the road to assist a driver who had a flat tire. Authorities say a 58-year-old Berthold man who was driving down the highway wasn\u2019t able to avoid the victim and struck her with his pickup. The woman died at the scene.

(AP) \u2014 The cost of North Dakota\u2019s special five-day session last month is within the amount that was budgeted. Figures released to The Associated Press show costs incurred by taxpayers so far total just more than $301,000. About $316,000 was budgeted for the session. Legislative budget analyst Allen Knudson says 11 of the Legislature\u2019s 141 members had not submitted lodging and mileage expenses as of Thursday. He says the final cost of the special session is expected to be close to the amount estimated. Legislators make $189 daily while in session.<\/p>\n<p>In World and national news<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 While all eyes are on the new and little-understood omicron variant, the delta form of the coronavirus isn\u2019t finished wreaking havoc in the U.S., sending record numbers of patients to the hospital in some states, especially in the Midwest and New England. The U.S. recorded its first known omicron infection on Wednesday, in a fully vaccinated person who had returned to California from South Africa, where the variant was first identified just over a week ago. For now, the extra-contagious delta variant accounts for practically all cases in the U.S. and continues to inflict misery at a time when many hospitals are struggling with shortages of nurses and a backlog of patients. And now the fear is that omicron will foist more patients, and perhaps sicker ones, onto hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BETHESDA (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden is kicking off a more urgent campaign for Americans to get COVID-19 booster shots. Biden on Thursday is unveiling a winter plan to combat the coronavirus and its omicron variant with enhanced availability of shots and vaccines but without major new restrictions. Biden is set to require private insurers to cover the cost of at-home COVID-19 tests and to tighten testing requirements for people entering the U.S. regardless of their vaccination status. Biden&#8217;s administration says it&#8217;s making 50 million COVID-19 tests free for older people and other vulnerable groups for pickup at senior centers and community sites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The United Nations headquarters in New York City was locked down for several hours after a man was seen pacing outside with what police said appeared to be a shotgun. The man was taken into custody at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. During the standoff, the man held an object pointed at his own throat, possibly a firearm. He didn&#8217;t appear to be trying to breach the security perimeter. Police said there was no danger to the public. People inside U.N. headquarters were initially told to shelter in place, but were later allowed to move about the complex and come and go from other entrances.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OXFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) \u2014 A 15-year-old boy has been denied bail and moved to jail after being charged in a Michigan school shooting that killed four students and injured others. Authorities on Wednesday revealed that Ethan Crumbley&#8217;s parents were summoned to discuss his behavior just a few hours before the bloodshed Tuesday. No motive for the shooting was offered by Oakland County authorities. But sheriff\u2019s Lt. Tim Willis told a judge that Crumbley recorded a video the night before the violence in which he discussed killing students. Crumbley is charged as an adult with 24 crimes, including murder and terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CALLAHAN, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Officials say a 57-year-old Florida man who served as the music minister at a church is accused of fatally shooting his wife and two adult children. Nassau County Sheriff Bob Leeper says William Conway Broyles called 911 on Wednesday to report what he had done. He later told investigators that he shot his wife and children multiple times \u201cjust to make sure they didn\u2019t suffer.&#8221; The sheriff says Broyles was unarmed and lying in the driveway of his home in Callahan when deputies arrived. Charged with three counts of second-degree murder, Broyles appeared before a judge Thursday morning and was denied bond.<\/p>\n<p>SAN DIEGO (AP) \u2014 Migrants seeking to enter the United States will again have to stay in Mexico as they await immigration hearings. The Biden administration reluctantly announced plans Thursday to accept the Trump-era policy and agreed to Mexico&#8217;s conditions for resuming it. That paves the way for returns to Mexico beginning next week. Mexico says it&#8217;s committed to migrant rights and safe migration.
