WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston police say two men were found dead Tuesday after shots were fired in an apartment complex.<\/p>\n

Police responded to multiple 911 calls at the Renaissance Heights apartment complex late Tuesday morning and found the bodies. Police say they detained a man and a woman in the apartment for questioning.<\/p>\n

Police say they found three guns found at the scene and believe that 9 to 16 shots were fired. It was not known whether the guns belonged to the victims or residents of the apartment.<\/p>\n

Authorities did not identify the victims but said they were from out of state.<\/p>\n

Police say they do not suspect that the shooting was the result of a home invasion and there is no danger to the public.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo woman who woke up to a noise in her apartment early Tuesday discovered a bullet hole in the wall of her bedroom.<\/p>\n

Police determined the shot came from next door. The slug was found on the woman’s bed.<\/p>\n

Authorities say one of the people next door told them he was cleaning a gun when it accidently discharged. The 28-year-old man was arrested on drug charges and might also face charges related to the shooting.<\/p>\n

The suspect lists a West Fargo address but was staying at the apartment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Fargo Police Chief Dave Todd is adding three officers to the department’s four-person narcotics unit to address a rising number of heroin- and fentanyl-related cases.<\/p>\n

Fentanyl is a powerful painkiller than can make heroin more potent. It also can lead to overdoses.<\/p>\n

Local law officers also plan to work more with state and federal authorities on enforcement and hold more public forums on drugs to raise awareness.<\/p>\n

Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney says, “If you’re going to deal, we’re coming for you.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A federal judge in North Dakota has granted another trial delay for a flight attendant accused of disrupting SkyWest flights in the upper Midwest and on the East Coast last year.<\/p>\n

The attorney for Justin Cox-Sever said she wanted more time to prepare and prosecutors didn’t object. Federal Judge Daniel Hovland moved the Arizona man’s trial from early June to early August.<\/p>\n

The trial originally was scheduled for late February and had already been delayed twice.<\/p>\n

Cox-Sever is accused of making bogus bomb threats on a flight from Charlottesville, Virginia, to Chicago, and on a flight from Minneapolis to Dickinson, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Whether a trial actually will happen is uncertain. A prosecutor has said a plea deal is likely, and a public defender has said all options are being evaluated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s governor and top education official say President Barack Obama’s recent directive ordering schools to accommodate transgender students’ choice of bathrooms is an overreach by the federal government.<\/p>\n

Schools risk losing federal funding if they don’t allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity, even if their education records or identity documents indicate a different gender.<\/p>\n

Gov. Jack Dalrymple labeled the federal directive as “a blatant threat.” Both he and State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler say decisions on such issues should be left up to local school boards, parents and community members.<\/p>\n

Baesler says she’s frustrated that the Obama administration wants a “one size-fits-all solution.”<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is looking to blunt the momentum of challenger Bernie Sanders as Democrats head to the polls in Kentucky and Oregon. Clinton enters Tuesday’s primaries with a commanding lead of nearly 300 pledged delegates over Sanders and a dominant advantage among superdelegates. She’s on track to clinch the nomination in early June but is trying to avoid a trail of primary defeats that could expose weaknesses before she takes on Trump.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – It appears Donald Trump will continue to defy conventional wisdom and political trends as he looks for a win in the general election. The presumptive GOP presidential nominee is installing operatives in several states that traditionally favor Democrats, including Maine and Minnesota. Trump is still about 100 delegates shy of the number needed to clinch the nomination. Oregon Republicans are casting ballots in Tuesday’s primary.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal investigators are blaming last year’s deadly Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia on a train engineer who was distracted by radio communication and a lack of equipment that could have automatically slowed the train as it went over the speed limit. The National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation also highlights the need to make passenger trains safer. In the derailment, the train’s emergency windows dislodged as the cars slid on their sides and four people were ejected and killed.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate has approved legislation giving the families of 9\/11 victims the right to sue the Saudi government for any role it may have played in the 2001 attacks. The House still has to act on the bill and the president has threatened a veto. Riyadh has threatened to pull billions of dollars from the U.S. economy if the bill is enacted.<\/p>\n

MOUNT WASHINGTON, N.H. (AP) – Winter has been over for nearly two months, but you wouldn’t know it from recent conditions at the tallest peak in the Northeast. Video posted Tuesday by the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire shows a worker being blown back by 109-mph wind on the freezing, snow-covered summit. The wind picks him up at one point and tosses him back, rolling him on the ground.<\/p>\n
