BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A new emergency shelter in Bismarck opened just in time to keep about 30 people warm in this week’s storm.The Missouri Slope Areawide United Way opened the shelter a few days early in part of the Sunrise Apartments building in downtown Bismarck because of the storm, the Bismarck Tribune reported<\/a> .”With it being one of the snowiest nights, we were happy to meet the need,” said Jena Gullo, executive director of the Missouri Slope Areawide United Way.The United Way secured space in the downtown apartments for a temporary housing solution until July, while Bismarck officials work toward a permanent shelter. The agency has been filling the emergency housing gap since Ruth Meier’s Hospitality House closed the area’s lone emergency men’s shelter in October.The new shelter can house a maximum of 68 people. Women and children are housed in four rooms in a secured wing of the apartment building. There are ten apartments for men.Those seeking shelter can stay for free up to 30 days as long as they’re working on goals leading to self-sufficiency. They also must help with chores and cannot consume drugs or alcohol. After 30 days, clients must pay 30 percent of their income.The shelter will provide case management and serve meals to residents three days a week.”We’re going to be able to provide more support that people need to get out of their homeless situation,” Gullo said. “If we don’t address the root causes of homelessness, our numbers are just going to increase. Our goal is to get our numbers to continue to decrease so that people are out on their own.”\u00a0<\/article>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz has been formally charged with 17 counts of first-degree murder, which could mean a death sentence if he’s convicted.<\/p>\n

A grand jury in Fort Lauderdale returned the indictment Wednesday against the 19-year-old Cruz for the Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in which 17 people died and 16 were wounded.<\/p>\n

The indictment also charges Cruz with 17 counts of attempted murder.<\/p>\n

Cruz’s public defender has said he’ll plead guilty if prosecutors take the death penalty off the table, which would mean a life prison sentence. The Broward County state attorney hasn’t announced a decision on the death penalty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The White House says Mexico, Canada, and other countries may be exempted from President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs under national security “carve-outs.”<\/p>\n

Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells reporters that the exemptions would be on a “case by case” and a “country by country” basis.<\/p>\n

The openness to country exemptions is a reversal from the policy articulated by the White House just days ago that there would be no exceptions to Trump’s plan to put in place 25 percent tariffs on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum.<\/p>\n

Sanders says Trump will finalize the tariffs later this week. The plan has roiled markets and drawn consternation from American allies, Republican free-trade advocates, and the business community.<\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Demonstrators blocked traffic on a busy street but were peaceful as they protested U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to sue California over laws that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities.<\/p>\n

Sacramento police say nobody was arrested in connection with the protests Wednesday outside a hotel where Sessions spoke to California law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n

Several Democratic elected officials joined demonstrators and spoke to the crowd with a bullhorn. They were drowned out sometimes by protesters with louder speakers angling for a more aggressive confrontation with Sessions.<\/p>\n

A line of police and private security guards blocked access to the hotel.<\/p>\n

Protesters say they wanted to send a message to Sessions that Californians support immigrants and won’t cooperate with immigration policies they view as racist.<\/p>\n
