Oklahoma woman accused of threatening to shoot up old school
McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — Authorities have arrested an 18-year-old Oklahoma woman accused of threatening to carry out a mass shooting at her old high school.
Pittsburg County Sheriff Chris Morris says Alexis Wilson, of McAlester, was arrested Monday after a co-worker told investigators that Wilson had said she wanted to shoot 400 people at McAlester High School and investigators viewed video of Wilson firing an AK-47.
Authorities say Wilson was expelled from the high school after violent incidents and that she had been suspended on separate occasions after being caught with a knife and a swastika at school. She wasn’t allowed to re-enroll.
Jail records indicate that Wilson is in custody but don’t show if she has an attorney. Morris says he didn’t know if she has a lawyer.

Lewandowski calls the Trump probes ‘petty’ politics.

The Commonwealth is offering a new way for voters to apply online for an absentee ballot. The new site, votesPA-dot-com-backslash-apply-absentee, went live yesterday, which was the first day registered voters could apply toward the November 5th election. The prior process to apply for absentee ballots was arranged in 1937, which state officials say was becoming more and more of a challenge to work with. For now, the online absentee ballot application will require either a PennDOT driver license or ID number in order to be processed, but it is expected that by next year a PennDOT number won’t be necessary.

Giant Eagle is asking its customers to not open-carry weapons in their grocery stores. In a statement from the Pittsburgh-based grocer Friday, the chain said while they respect the rights of each individual who chooses to shop there, they recognize other shoppers may be concerned when someone other than law enforcement is visibly carrying a weapon. The company updated the policy saying they would prefer customers not openly carry inside any of their locations or affiliated stores.
