     Thomas has been placed on administrative leave until an investigation can be completed.
 
     The incident happened after 3 a.m. Monday. Authorities say Thomas shot a 31-year-old man three times after the suspect aimed a replica gun with a laser pointer at the officer.
 
     The suspect was taken to a hospital for surgery. His name and condition have not been released.
 
     A police spokesman says the suspect is expected to be charged Tuesday, at which time more information will be released.
 

 

 GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – Police in Grand Forks are searching for a man suspected of hitting and robbing another man.

     The suspect is described as a black man about 22 to 24 years old, with shoulder-length dreadlocks, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and 150 pounds. Police say the man was wearing a white T-shirt and black skinny jeans.

 SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – James Henrikson, who admits to ordering the deaths of two business associates tied to the oil-field business in North Dakota, faces four decades in prison after pleading guilty.
 
     Henrikson admitted in federal court in Spokane on Friday to ordering the deaths of Kristopher Clarke and Doug Carlile. He says he employed Timothy Suckow as the hit man both times.
 
     Federal prosecutors will seek a 40-year prison term when the 36-year-old Henrikson is sentenced in December.
 
     Carlile was a Spokane businessman who was killed in his l home in December 2013. Henrikson admitted Friday that Clarke was killed in February 2012, bludgeoned to death by Suckow in Henrikson’s North Dakota truck shop. Clarke’s body has not been found.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says she’s hoping that a face-to-face meeting with Cuban President Raul Castro will open the door to more U.S. agricultural exports.
 
     Heitkamp was one of two senators and a handful of representatives to meet Friday in New York with Castro, the first Cuban leader to visit the United States in 15 years.
 
     The Democratic senator says it might be difficult to find enough support to lift a trade embargo against Cuba, but she is pushing a bill that would finance agricultural exports.  Cuba has a high demand for North Dakota crops like dry beans, peas and lentils.
 
     Heitkamp visited Cuba in February 2014 but did not have a chance to meet Castro. She says the Cuban leader has invited her to return to his country.

 

In world and national news…

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – The crisis in Syria has been very much on the minds of world leaders addressing the U.N. General Assembly Monday. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for the conflict to be referred to the International Criminal Court. President Barack Obama and Russia’s Vladimir Putin differed sharply on whether Syria’s Bashar Assad should remain in power.
 
     UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Iran’s president is saying thousands of people died in the stampede of Muslim pilgrims four days ago during the hajj in Saudi Arabia – substantially more than the official death toll. And he blames the deaths on Saudi “incompetence.” Hassan Rouhani gave no specific figures today in a speech to the United Nation summit. The Saudi Health Ministry’s latest figures, released Saturday, put the toll at 769 people killed and 934 injured in Mina.)
 
     KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – An Afghan official says the northern city of Kunduz has “collapsed into the hands of the Taliban.” It’s the first major city in Afghanistan to be seized by the insurgents since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. And it marks a major setback for Afghan government forces.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – The front-runner to replace House Speaker John Boehner (BAY’-nur) says the United States should work with its allies to set up a no-fly zone in northern Syria in the campaign against Islamic State militants. Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy also says the U.S. should consider putting some special forces on the ground in Iraq to help in directing more effective airstrikes against the militants. McCarthy, from California, is a heavy favorite to replace Boehner. The speaker announced his resignation Friday amid growing discontent among some of the most conservative members of the House Republican conference.
 
     CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Can Mars sustain life? There’s some new evidence today to suggest that it can.
