Hundreds of protesters gathered in the streets of El Cajon, California, on Wednesday for a second night of protests against the fatal police shooting of an unarmed, mentally ill black man, Alfred Olango. The 38-year-old Olango had pulled something from his pocket and pointed it at an officer. Police said Wednesday night that the object was a vape smoking device. The protesters were peaceful but loud as they marched, with many shouting, "No justice, no peace."

Authorities said the two students had been shot on a playground and were being treated at a Greenville hospital for injuries that were not life threatening. Teachers, all of whom had taken active-shooter training, locked the school's doors, preventing the attacker from getting inside. A volunteer firefighter subdued the 14-year-old suspect. Later, the suspect's father, Jeffrey Osborne, was found dead at his home about two miles away. Osborne, 47, was fatally shot before the school attack.

Then on Monday morning, authorities said 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami is sought in connection with the bombing. Authorities said they were investigating evidence that could link two pressure-cooker bombs filled with shrapnel — only one of which exploded — in New York to a pipe bomb that exploded the same day in Seaside Park, New Jersey. That device blew up in a garbage can near the route of the Marine Semper Fi 5K charity race, and injured no one.

She was 92. Schlafly was known for her leadership in grassroots campaigns opposing everything from Communism to abortion. She also founded the Eagle Forum, an ultraconservative political group, in 1975. She championed traditional, stay-at-home roles for women, drawing harsh criticism from feminists. Betty Friedan, a feminist leader who debated her over the ERA, compared Schlafly to a religious heretic.
