Update…<\/p>\n

\u00a0MCGREGOR, N.D. (AP) – A Wildrose man is dead after his car collided with a semitrailer at an intersection of two state highways in rural Williams County.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Highway Patrol says 72-year-old James Cain failed to yield at the intersection of Highways 50 and 40 south of McGregor on Tuesday afternoon. He died at the scene.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both vehicles went into the ditch after the crash. The patrol says a utility pole was damaged, cutting electricity to some rural areas.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The driver of the semi was not hurt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A statewide enforcement effort in July resulted in hundreds of citations for seat belt and child restraint violations and speeding.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota’s Transportation Department says 48 law agencies including the Highway Patrol took part, working overtime paid for with federal dollars. The additional patrols resulted in 35 citations for child restraint violations, 970 for seat beat violations and 1,195 for speeding.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The traffic stops also resulted in 20 drug arrests and eight arrests for driving under the influence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s top energy regulator says oil drillers are unlikely to meet targets that require reducing the amount of natural gas that is burned off as a byproduct of the state’s oil production.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms told North Dakota’s Industrial Commission on Wednesday that problems with federal permits and land access permission for planned pipelines will make reaching new capturing goals “essentially impossible.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Data show the industry is capturing 82 percent of the natural gas at present. The industry is required to capture 85 percent by Jan. 1
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Helms recommended the industry be given until Oct. 1, 2016, to meet the threshold. But the Commission took no action.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who heads the panel, says more information is needed on why the goals won’t be met.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FORT TOTTEN, N.D. (AP) – Leaders of the Spirit Lake Tribe have declared a “state of emergency,” citing rampant drug use and trafficking on the reservation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Devils Lake Journal reports the tribe’s council adopted a resolution Aug. 21 declaring the state of emergency. Council secretary-treasurer Nancy Greene-Robertson says illegal drugs have become an “epidemic” on the reservation, and that the tribe will “do whatever it takes to address it.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Greene-Robertson says the tribe is considering its options. The resolution says the tribe lacks justice system resources needed to fight the rise in drug activity.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to the resolution, drugs trafficked on the northeastern North Dakota reservation in recent months include methamphetamine, heroin and prescription medications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota aviation program notched a milestone when three pilots from the school navigated an unmanned aircraft at a public airport.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The test at a remote airport in northeastern North Dakota was meant primarily to test radio systems on the drone. The project is being conducted through the Northern Plains UAS Test Site, one of six federally funded sites in the United States.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UND aviation researcher Andrew Regenhard supervised the flight. He says UND drone pilots have trained extensively on simulators, but the actual flight had “finer aspects” that can’t be duplicated in a classroom.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Regenhard says the test is a steppingstone to more meaningful research in the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Park district officials in Fargo are giving a group of volunteers a chance to try a non-lethal method to keep beaver colonies from chopping down and killing trees along the Red River.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Park Board Facility Committee has agreed to allow volunteers to protect trees from harm by using an abrasive paint that beavers dislike.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Fargo Park District caused an uproar in April when it announced its plans to trap and kill the beavers. Some residents organized and even started an online petition to convince officials to alter their plans.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials are targeting two parks along the river. Committee member Joel Vettel says the park district still plans to trap beavers in one park, and if the volunteer effort doesn’t show results, the trapping will expand.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 ON-AIR SHOOTING: WDBJ<\/p>\n

\u00a0MONETA, Va. (AP) –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The suspect in the on-air shooting of two TV station employees has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.\u00a0 Vester\u00a0\u00a0Flanagan died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound hours after the Wednesday morning shooting.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Vester Flanagan died hours after this morning’s shooting deaths of former co-workers Alison Parker and Adam Ward during a live broadcast outside a shopping mall near Roanoke, Virginia. Police who’d been looking for him since the shooting spotted him on a northern Virginia interstate in late morning and pursued his car, but he sped away and crashed. Police say they found him suffering from a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

Officials say they don’t yet know a motive in the fatal on-air shooting of a reporter and a cameraman from a TV station in Virginia.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Authorities say they know the suspect, Vester Flanagan, was a former employee at the station, WDBJ-TV. They say they don’t know if the shooting was racially motivated. Flanagan was black and had formerly complained about racial bias at the station.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Virginia State Police say they found the suspect about 11:30 a.m. EDT. \u00a0They say troopers had pursued him on the highway, but he sped away and crashed. Police say he was found with life-threatening injuries.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He went by Bryce Williams on the air.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Station GM says suspect was angry man who was fired.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Jeffrey Marks of WDBJ-TV in Virginia talked briefly on air about Vester Flanagan- who went by Bryce Williams on the air – on Wednesday afternoon. Marks says Flanagan was hired as a reporter a few years ago after a while out of the TV news business.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marks says the man had a reputation of being difficult to work with and being on the lookout for people to say things he could take offense to.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marks says: “Eventually, after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him. He did not take that well.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marks says that when Flanagan was fired, police had to escort him from the building.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marks said that Flanagan alleged that other employees made racially-tinged comments to him and that he filed a complaint with the EEOC. But Marks says the allegations couldn’t be corroborated. He says the claim was dismissed.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ON-AIR SHOOTING-VICTIMS
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MONETA, Va. (AP) – The television reporter and cameraman killed while they were doing a live shot are being described as a team who were at the beginning of their careers.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Friends and colleagues said Wednesday that Alison Parker and Adam Ward were part of a close-knit family at TV station WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 24-year-old Parker was hired at WDBJ full time about a year ago. The 27-year-old Ward had worked at the station for several years, first in the production department, then as a video journalist.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They both found love at the station. Parker was dating an anchor. Ward was engaged to a producer.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The gunman has been described as a disgruntled former station employee. He is at a hospital with a life-threatening gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 UNDATED (AP) – The price of oil is back below $39 a barrel. The decline comes after a U.S. government report showed an unexpected decline in demand for gasoline last week.

\u00a0NEW YORK (AP) – Wal-Mart says it will stop stocking the AR-15 and other semi-automatic weapons at its stores because fewer people are buying them. The retailer says it will replace them with more hunting rifles and shot guns. A Wal-Mart spokesman says the semi-automatic weapons were sold at fewer than a third of its 4,600 U.S. stores.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ORFORD, N.H. (AP) – Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says Donald Trump will not be the Republican presidential nominee because his message is not an optimistic one. He’s taking issue with Trump’s campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again,” saying America is already a great country that can be made greater. Rubio has largely shied away from taking on Trump, even as rivals such as Jeb Bush and Rand Paul have become more forceful in criticizing the billionaire businessman who sits atop Republican polls.

\u00a0\u00a0CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) – The Colorado theater shooter\u00a0was \u00a0formally sentenced Wednesday for killing 12 people in a suburban Denver multiplex in 2012. A jury already had already decided that James Holmes would get 12 life sentences without the possibility of parole.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The Mormon church is sticking with the Boy Scouts despite a decision by the Scouts to allow gay troop leaders. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the nation’s largest sponsor of Boy Scout units. Church leaders decided to stay with the Boy Scouts after getting assurances they can appoint troop leaders according to their own religious and moral values.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ROME (AP) – Italy’s coast guard says some 50 bodies were found in the hull of a migrant boat that was rescued off Libya’s northern coast. Officials say a Swedish ship rescued 439 survivors. Migrants by the tens of thousands are braving the perilous journey across the Mediterranean, hoping to reach Europe and be granted asylum. Wednesday’s toll adds to the more than 2,400 people who have died at sea this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
