BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Officials say one person has died in an apartment fire in Bismarck. Firefighters responded to a multi-family apartment building about 6:40 p.m. Tuesday and found heavy smoke and fire coming from a second-floor balcony. Crews began working the fire from the outside, then entered the building to attack it and found an unresponsive person in the apartment where the fire was believed to have started. The victim was pulled from the apartment and was treated by an ambulance crew, but died at the scene. Other tenants evacuated safely, but some residents have been temporarily displaced by the fire damage.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A group of lawmakers will return to the North Dakota Capitol next week to decide study topics that may result in legislation for the 2023 session. The Legislative Management committee is a 17-member panel of lawmakers that supervises business between sessions. The panel will meet May 19 to select the topics the Legislature will study during the next 18 months. Legislative Management also will choose a legislative committee that will study redistricting plans this summer. The redistricting plan is one of a dozen mandatory studies from legislation passed before adjournment. Another 72 studies are considered optional.
In world and national news…
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel has killed a string of senior Hamas military figures and pounded three multistory towers as it hammers the Gaza Strip with airstrikes. Meanwhile, militants in the territory fired barrages of rockets Wednesday. Dozens have died in the worst outbreak of violence since a 2014 war, with no resolution in sight. The fighting has taken on many hallmarks of that devastating 50-day conflict between Israel and Hamas. But now it comes with a startling new factor: a burst of fury from Israel’s Palestinian citizens in support of those living in the territories as well as counterviolence by Jewish Israelis. In response, Israel deployed border guards in two mixed Arab-Jewish cities that saw unrest in previous days.
(AP) COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. have tumbled to an average of about 600 per day — the lowest level in 10 months. The number of lives lost per day has dropped to single digits on average in well over half the states and has hit zero on days. Confirmed infections, meanwhile, have fallen to about 38,000 day on average, their lowest mark since mid-September. They have plummeted 85% from a peak of more than a quarter-million cases per day in early January.
(AP) Dozens of school districts around the country have eliminated requirements for students to wear masks, and many more are likely to ditch them before the next academic year. Where many see a continued need to protect children and teachers who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19, opponents argue that masks make students uncomfortable and mandates impinge on freedom. At some school board meetings, emotional and highly divisive debates on the issue even have led to the involvement of police. Some public health experts say it’s too early to relax mask rules since few children are vaccinated and they spend hours at a time indoors at school.
(AP) Stocks pulled back again on Wall Street after a surprisingly big jump in inflation last month worsened worries among investors that the economy may run too hot as it bounces back from its pandemic-induced recession. Tech giants, which had soared during the past year of lockdowns, took some of the biggest losses. The slump put major indexes on track for their worst weekly losses since October. The S&P 500 lost 2.1% Wednesday, bringing its drop so far this week to 4%. Bond yields snapped higher after the government reported that consumer prices rose in April at the fastest year-over-year rate since 2008.
(AP) The cyber attack last week on a primary gasoline pipeline created new political and economic risks for the Biden administration. So it’s working to keep the fuel flowing as prices spike. Officials are laying out plans to address transportation issues and price pressures after ransom-seeking hackers last week shut down the Colonial Pipeline. The closed pipeline delivers about 45% of the East Coast’s gas. It’s possible that the pipeline’s computer systems could be up and running in the next few days. But the administration is also pushing the crisis as a reason why President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure package should be approved.
RALEIGH (AP) — State and federal officials are scrambling to find alternate routes to deliver gasoline in the Southeast U.S. after a hack of the nation’s largest fuel pipeline led to panic-buying that contributed to more than 1,000 gas stations running out of fuel. The pipeline runs from the Gulf Coast to the New York metropolitan region, but states in the Southeast are more reliant on the pipeline for fuel. Gasbuddy.com says that 28% of gas stations in North Carolina were out of fuel. Georgians were also getting squeezed, with 17.5% of stations there out of gas. In Virginia, 17% of stations were out, and in South Carolina, 16% had no fuel.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. budget deficit surged to a record of $1.9 trillion for the first seven months of this budget year. The yawning shortfall is due to the billions of dollars being spent in coronavirus relief packages. The Treasury Department said Wednesday in its monthly budget report that the deficit so far this year is 30.3% higher than the $1.48 trillion deficit run up over the same period a year ago. The deficits in both years showed the impact of the pandemic, as the government began approving trillions of dollars in relief to cover three rounds of individual payments, extra unemployment benefits and support for small businesses.
NEW YORK (AP) — A man suspected of shooting three people in New York’s Times Square, including a 4-year-old girl, was arrested Wednesday in Florida. A law enforcement official briefed on the matter says Farrakhan Muhammad was taken into custody near Jacksonville, four days after the shooting Saturday that rattled the Big Apple tourist haven known as the “Crossroads of the World.” The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the case and did so on the condition of anonymity. Muhammad was listed Wednesday in an inmate database for the Bradford County, Florida sheriff’s office. Information on a lawyer who could speak on his behalf was not immediately available.
