FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A benefit fund has been set up for the family of a man suspected in the shooting death of a Fargo police officer.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officer Jason Moszer died Thursday of a single gunshot wound during a standoff at a house near downtown Fargo. The suspect, Marcus Schumacher, was found dead in the house but police have not said whether he died of a police bullet or shot himself.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officers were initially sent to the scene after Schumacher’s son called dispatchers and said Schumacher had fired a gun at his mother, Schumacher’s wife.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A group coordinating the fundraising effort says it’s also accepting donations of gift cards and non-perishable food items.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo Police Chief Dave Todd has urged community members to reach out the Schumachers, saying it’s “the right thing to do.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Hundreds of blue light bulbs that Fargo police offered to residents who want to honor an officer killed on the job were snatched up in half an hour.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The department had a supply of about 500 bulbs.\u00a0 Lines formed outside police headquarters on Tuesday morning as people showed up to pick up a bulb and drop off a donation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The effort is to honor Officer Jason Moszer, who died Thursday of a gunshot wound during a standoff with a suspect at a house near downtown Fargo. He left behind a wife and two children.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Police have more of the blue bulbs on order and will announce when the shipment arrives on the department’s website. All of the proceeds are going to Moszer’s family.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Prosecutors say law officers who handled the case of a man accused in a drug-fueled slaying on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation did not trample on the suspect’s rights.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Volk has asked a federal judge to throw out a defense request to bar key evidence at Marcel Chase’s trial in May.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chase is accused of killing Toby Young Bear with his bare hands during a meth-fueled fight in December 2014, then stashing the body in the trunk of his mother’s car. He could face up to life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Defense attorney Paul Myerchin contends police violated Chase’s rights in gathering evidence and questioning him without an attorney present. Volk disputes that.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A March 18 hearing is scheduled on the disputed evidence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators are proposing new rules aimed at the oil industry.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A slate of proposed rules were unveiled Tuesday, including a requirement that would require bonding for all crude and saltwater pipelines. Another new rule would require berms of at least a foot high to be built around a well site.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says public hearings on the proposals will be done in several cities in April. He says October is the earliest the rules could be in place.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness says his group has not had a chance to study the proposals. He says subjecting the oil industry to more rules adds costs to companies that already are dealing with depressed crude prices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota regulators will allow owners of some low-volume oil wells to suspend production for up to a year, while awaiting a rebound in crude prices.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Industrial Commission approved the waivers for so-called marginal wells on Tuesday.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Companies are supposed to plug and reclaim a well when there is no more oil being pumped. State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says some of the low-producing oil wells aren’t economically feasible to operate with depressed crude prices.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marginal wells also are called stripper wells. Data show there are about 3,100 of them in the state. They are broadly defined in North Dakota as those that produce fewer than 40 barrels of crude daily.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Public housing authorities in North Dakota are getting $2.1 million in federal funding to improve their properties.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development says the money is going to 15 housing authorities across the state, including in Fargo, Williston, Minot, Cass County and Burleigh County.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The money is through HUD’s Capital Fund Program, which gives money each year to about 3,100 public housing authorities across the country.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota men’s hockey team has slipped in the national polls after being swept at Denver over the weekend.<\/p>\n

UND is down two spots to No. 4 in both the USCHO.com poll and the USA Today\/USA Hockey Magazine poll.<\/p>\n

Quinnipiac continues to top both polls, followed by Boston College and St. Cloud State. Defending national champion Providence rounds out the top five in both polls.<\/p>\n

The two losses to Denver marked the first time since November 2011 that UND had been swept on the road. The Fighting Hawks are back home this weekend, hosting unranked Minnesota-Duluth.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 WASHINGTON (AP) – A key Republican senator is leaving open the possibility of holding a confirmation hearing for President Barack Obama’s choice to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. Charles Grassley of Iowa heads the Senate Judiciary Committee. He told Iowa radio reporters Tuesday that he supports Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s view that Obama’s successor should nominate someone to fill the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. But Grassley says he won’t make any decision on that until there’s a nominee. As for whether the controversy might threaten his own re-election chances, Grassley says he has to do his job as a senator.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – If the Rev. Al Sharpton plans to make an endorsement in the 2016 Democratic primaries, he isn’t talking. Sharpton and Hillary Clinton left a closed-door meeting at the National Urban League in New York Tuesday. And as for any endorsement, Sharpton says only he and Clinton know, but they aren’t telling. Sharpton tells reporters that for the first time, the nation will “see a black family leave the White House.” He adds, “We don’t want black concerns to leave with them.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DAMASCUS (AP) – The relief group Doctors Without Borders says the number of people killed in an airstrike on a hospital it supports in Syria is likely to rise, as workers look through the rubble. The group says at least eleven people died in the attack. Russia, meanwhile, is denying that its warplanes carried out yesterday’s strikes.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BEIRUT (AP) – Efforts by the U.S. and its allies to hurt the cash flow of the Islamic State group appear to be having the desired effect. According to those who have fled the group’s urban centers, and some who are still there, shortages and widespread inflation are common. The militants have cut salaries in half — and have stopped providing even the smaller perks: free energy drinks and Snickers bars.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NEW YORK (AP) – Even the highest-paid players in the NFL can look with envy at the paycheck of the league’s commissioner. According to the league’s tax filing, released today, Commissioner Roger Goodell earned just over $34 million for 2014. It’s actually down a bit from the previous year, and from 2012 — when Goodell collected $44 million. That included $9 million in bonuses and deferred pension.
