Hillary Clinton is not ruling out a presidential rematch against President Donald Trump, according to CNN’s White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny. Zeleny told a panel on CNN’s ‘Inside Politics’ on Sunday that Clinton is telling people that, given all this news from the indictments, particularly the Roger Stone indictment, she is not closing the doors to the idea of running in 2020. Zeleny’s report did acknowledge there are no official announcements or campaign plans in the works.

Freak accident on parkway where2 men plunge from elevated highway, are hit, killed by car
2 men plunge from elevated highway, are hit, killed by car
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A crash sent two men who were tending to a disabled vehicle on an elevated highway in Pittsburgh plunging to the street below, where they were struck and killed by a passing vehicle, police said.
Jason Hubert Jackson, 34, of Pittsburgh, got out of his disabled vehicle on an elevated section of the Parkway East on Saturday afternoon, police said. Landen Manning Jones, 39, also of Pittsburgh, pulled up behind the car to help, and actually took the driver to get gas, but it still wouldn’t start, police said.
The two were believed to have been standing between the two vehicles when a passing vehicle struck the second car at about 4 p.m. Saturday, sending the two men over the railing onto Second Avenue 30 to 35 feet below, where a vehicle hit them.
“They were going to call AAA, and then that’s when the third car hit,” Trooper Bondarenka said. She said it was unclear whether the men were struck by the passing vehicle or jumped to get out of its path.
A woman and child in the disabled vehicle were uninjured. The driver of the other car on the elevated highway remained on the scene, as did the driver of the vehicle on the street below, and both were taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, police said.
Suspect in Louisiana shooting deaths caught in Virginia
Suspect in Louisiana shooting deaths caught in Virginia
DONALDSONVILLE, La. (AP) — A man suspected of killing his parents and three other people – including a girl he was dating – has been captured after an intense manhunt spanning several states, authorities in Louisiana said Sunday.
Dakota Theriot, 21, was located in Virginia early Sunday after fleeing the day before, according to a statement by Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre and Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard.
Theriot was arrested by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office. The statement said he will be brought back to Ascension Parish to be booked on two counts of first-degree murder, home invasion, and illegal use of weapons.
Authorities said Theriot first shot and killed three people – the woman believed to be his girlfriend, her brother and father – in Livingston Parish before taking her father’s truck, driving to neighboring Ascension Parish, and shooting his parents.
Authorities have identified the victims in Livingston Parish as Billy Ernest, 43; Tanner Ernest, 17; and Summer Ernest, 20. Ard said Summer Ernest and Dakota Theriot were in a relationship and that Theriot had been living with her family for a few weeks.
Authorities earlier identified the other two victims as Theriot’s parents — Keith, 50, and Elizabeth Theriot, 50, of Gonzales.
They were shot in their trailer on Saturday morning.
“The father was gravely injured at the time we found him and has since passed away,” Webre said late Saturday. But before he died, Webre said authorities were able to get a “dying declaration from him, and only enough information to let us know that it was his son that committed this act.”
Crystal DeYoung, Billy Ernest’s sister, told The Associated Press that she believes Theriot had just started dating her niece, Summer Ernest.
“My family met him last weekend at a birthday party and didn’t get good vibes from him,” DeYoung said. She said she wasn’t sure how her niece and Theriot met, but that she believed the relationship was relatively new.
The NFL keeps going younger and cheaper
AP analysis: The NFL keeps going younger and cheaper
By EDDIE PELLS and LARRY FENN, Associated Press
By the time NFL players reach their third and fourth years in the league, the vast majority are struggling just to hang on because of injuries or younger, faster and often cheaper rookies out for their jobs.
In 2006 and 2011, the players union and the NFL tried to do something about that, adopting salary and bookkeeping rules with the potential to extend the careers of these veterans.
It hasn’t worked.
In a first-of-its-kind analysis, The Associated Press found that since 2005, the average amount of playing experience for athletes on the NFL’s opening-day rosters has shrunk from 4.6 years to 4.3.
In 2005, there were 784 players with three years’ experience or less and 714 with five or more years. In 2018, the gap widened to 852 and 644.
And the AP found experience level has dropped at every position, except quarterback, punter and kicker.
Sheriff says No red flags ahead of deadly shooting in Louisiana
The Latest: Sheriff: No red flags ahead of deadly shooting
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Latest on shooting that killed five people (all times local):
10:35
A Louisiana sheriff says there were no red flags ahead of the two shootings Saturday morning that ended with five people dead.
Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard says authorities are “totally focused” on finding 21-year-old Dakota Theriot.
Authorities say he shot and killed three people Saturday morning in one parish before going to his parents’ house in a neighboring parish, and killing them before fleeing.
Ard says Theriot was believed to have been in a relationship with one of the victims, Summer Ernest. Her brother and her father were also killed.
Ard says Theriot had been living with his girlfriend’s family for a few weeks but there were “no red flags.”
Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre says Theriot traveled east after the shootings and maybe in another state.

A neighbor who lives near the house where three people were killed Saturday morning in Louisiana says two young children from the house ran to her home to ask for help after the shooting.
Charlenne Bordelon tells The Advocate newspaper that the children were at home at the time of the shooting that took place in Livingston Parish but were not injured. She says they are both under the age of 8.
Authorities in Louisiana say separate but related shootings Saturday in Livingston and Ascension parishes have left five people dead. They’ve identified 21-year-old Dakota Theriot as the suspect and are actively searching for him.
Bordelon says Theriot was the older daughter’s boyfriend and that he’d recently moved in with the family but she did not know him.

A family member of several victims in separate shootings that left five people dead in Louisiana said she believes her niece had just started dating the shooting suspect, and that some family members didn’t get a good vibe from him.
Authorities in Louisiana say they are searching for 21-year-old Dakota Theriot, who is considered “armed and dangerous.” Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre says Dakota Theriot is the “prime suspect” in the deaths of his parents, Keith and Elizabeth Theriot of Gonzales.
He’s also suspected in the deaths of Billy Ernest, 43; Tanner Ernest, 17; and Summer Ernest, 20.
Crystal DeYoung is Billy Ernest’s sister. She told The Associated Press that she believes Theriot had just started dating her niece, Summer Ernest.
DeYoung said Theriot doesn’t have a vehicle and she’s not sure how he ended up at the Ernest home on Saturday, but after the killings, he took off in her brother’s truck.
DeYoung said her brother, niece and nephew were good people who “trusted people too much.”

The man wanted in connection with the shooting deaths of five people in Louisiana appears to have a Facebook page filled with defensive and sometimes angry posts.
Authorities say 21-year-old Dakota Theriot is the “prime suspect” in the deaths Saturday of his parents Keith and Elizabeth Theriot of Gonzales. He is also the suspect in a triple homicide that occurred in the neighboring parish. Those victims were identified by Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office as Billy Ernest, 43; Tanner Ernest, 17; and Summer Ernest, 20.
A Facebook page that appears to belong to Theriot shared a post in June saying “wish i could clear my mind jus for one day” (sic) with a sad face emoji.
In May, he shared a post saying “If you have a problem with me, tell me. Not everyone else.”
Another shared post says, “I don’t care what people say about me I know who I am and I don’t have to prove anything to anyone.”

Authorities in Louisiana said Saturday they are looking for a 21-year-old man whom they say shot and killed his parents.
Ascension Parish Sheriff Bobby Webre says Dakota Theriot is the “prime suspect” in the deaths of Keith and Elizabeth Theriot of Gonzales.
They were shot in their trailer on Saturday morning. Deputies arrived at the scene and were able to interview one of the victims before both died. Webre said that information led authorities to zero in on the couple’s son as a suspect.
Dakota Theriot was being sought on first-degree murder and other charges. He was believed to be driving a stolen 2004 Dodge Ram pickup, gray and silver in color.
Webre said a triple homicide that occurred Saturday in the neighboring parish is considered to be a related incident.

Authorities say shootings in two parishes in Louisiana have left five people dead. Authorities identified a suspect, who is still at large.
Officials say the Saturday morning shootings happened in Ascension and Livingston parishes, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) west of New Orleans.
Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard confirmed on Facebook that three deaths happened in his parish on Saturday. The victims’ identities were not disclosed.
Separately on Facebook, the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office said two people were shot to death in the city of Gonzalez. The victims were identified as a husband and wife. Their 21-year-old son was being sought by authorities and was wanted on first-degree murder charges.
Ascension sheriff’s spokeswoman Allison Hudson says authorities believe the shootings in the two parishes are connected, and investigators from both jurisdictions are working together.
