Paige Miller, an FSU freshman, was in the restroom outside her classroom at the Moore building next to the Student Union when she heard four loud bangs.“I thought it was the roof collapsing honestly, and then suddenly three girls come running in and one of them was crying," she said.

"One of the girls looks over at my stall and tells me to call the police because there’s an active shooter.”She called 911. With no lock on the restroom door, they held it shut for 20 minutes until police arrived. When she came outside, she saw one person on the ground surrounded by officers.

Miller assumed he was a shooter but wasn’t sure. Miller also heard police say they were looking for a shotgun. She saw what appeared to be two injured people on the ground by the Student Union.“We saw them when they were still on the grass,” she said. “I think they moved a couple to the pavement.” She said law enforcement was swarming everywhere: “It was terrifying.”

An unhoused man in California won $1m from a lottery ticket that he bought from a liquor store on the state’s central coast.

The winner, who has not been publicly identified, purchased the scratcher ticket from Sandy’s Deli-Liquor in San Luis Obispo, where he has been a customer for years, according to media reports.

“He came to the store, he scratched it and is like: ‘Oh my god, is that real?’” the store manager, Wilson Samaan, told KSBY. “He’s like: ‘Man, I’m not homeless anymore!’ I’m like: ‘Man, you hit the jackpot.’”

The man initially thought he had won $100,000 before Samaan confirmed he had in fact won $1m. Samaan later drove the man, who doesn’t have a car, to Fresno so that he could turn in the ticket in person rather than mailing it. “I told him: ‘That’s a million-dollar ticket … I will drive you,’” he said.

The winner told the outlet that the prize was “life-changing” and that he planned to use it for a down payment on a home in the area and for a car.

A Mississippi church deacon was fatally shot while trying to protect people from a dispute that broke out during an Easter egg hunt hosted by his church, witnesses and law enforcement said.

Empowerment Ministries Christian Center in Gulfport, Mississippi, identified the deacon as Eddie Shed and said he died on April 12 while trying to "save others from harm" at the church's Easter egg hunt at Jack and Florence Goldin Park in Gulfport.

A private plane that crashed in upstate New York over the weekend was carrying six members of a close-knit family of physicians and distinguished student-athletes on a trip to the Catskills for a birthday celebration and the Passover holiday.

The twin-engine Mitsubishi MU-2B went down shortly after noon Saturday in a muddy field in Copake, New York, near the Massachusetts line, killing everyone on board, according to authorities and a family member who spoke to The Associated Press.

A federal judge in Vermont questioned on Monday whether the Trump administration would instigate a "constitutional crisis" by not releasing a Turkish student at Tufts University from immigration custody if he concluded her arrest was unlawful.

U.S. District Judge William Sessions raised that prospect during a hearing in Burlington as he suggested he may order authorities to move Rumeysa Ozturk from the Louisiana detention center she has been in for nearly three weeks back to Vermont, where she was briefly held after her arrest last month.

The judge heard arguments in the case after a federal judge in Massachusetts transferred the 30-year-old's lawsuit challenging her detention to Vermont rather than dismiss it or send it to Louisiana as the U.S. Justice Department wanted.
