LET THE WEDDINGS BEGIN
Starting at 12:01 a.m. Monday, gay
couples were allowed to start getting
married in New Jersey, and Newark Mayor
Cory Booker opened City Hall to officiate
marriages. The state Supreme Court
upheld a ruling last Friday to recognize
same-sex marriages starting Oct. 21.
“The state has advanced a number of
arguments, but none of them overcome
this reality: Same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law
today,” said Chief Justice Stuart Rabner. Gov. Chris Christie dropped the state’s legal
challenge to gay marriages on Monday.
YOU’RE FIRED
The Associated Press has fired three journalists
involved in an erroneous story that said Virginia
gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe lied to a federal
official who was investigating a fraud case. Veteran
reporter Bob Lewis and editors Dena Potter and
Norman Gomlak were all let go. The News Media Guild,
which represents two of the fired employees, “has filed
a grievance demanding their immediate reinstatement,”
said guild administrator Kevin Keane.
ANOTHER
SCHOOL SHOOTING
A student at a middle school in Nevada killed
a math teacher and wounded two 12-yearold male students on Monday before killing
himself. The teacher, who was a military
veteran, had been trying to protect students
from the shooter. “In my estimation, he is a
hero,” said Reno Deputy Police Chief Tom Robinson. Of the shooter, Robinson said, “It’s too
early to say whether he was targeting people or going on an indiscriminate shooting spree.”
