ERIE, Pa. (AP) — School authorities say metal detectors will be installed at schools in the northwestern Pennsylvania district in which a student was injured in a shooting. Erie’s Public Schools announced last week that planned security changes include “installation of fully functioning metal detectors.” The Erie Times-News said the portable detectors are planned at the district’s two high schools and three middle schools. Other changes are planned, including enabling teachers to lock classroom doors from the inside. One student was stable after the Tuesday morning shooting in an Erie High School hallway, and another student is facing juvenile counts.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is endorsing Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania’s crowded Senate primary, ending months of jockeying for Trump’s support. Trump says in a statement that his decision is “all about winning elections” as he backs the celebrity heart surgeon best known as the host of daytime TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show.” Trump had previously endorsed Sean Parnell in the race, but Parnell withdrew amid allegations of abuse from his estranged wife. Oz was competing for Trump’s endorsement against former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, whose wife, Dina Powell, served in Trump’s administration. Trump is calling Oz “smart” and “tough.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The motion picture academy has banned Will Smith from attending the Oscars or any other academy event for 10 years following his slap of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards. The move comes after a meeting Friday of the academy’s board of governors to discuss a response to Smith’s actions. The academy in a statement called Smith’s actions “unacceptable and harmful.” Smith pre-emptively resigned from the academy last week during the run-up to the meeting and said he would accept any punishment the academy handed down.
