Adam Purinton, 51, faces one charge of first-degree murder and two charges of attempted first-degree murder in last Wednesday's shooting in Olathe that killed one person and injured two others.

The incident has raised worries among Indians and other communities about possible violence against foreign workers in the United States.

A motive has not yet been established, and the FBI is looking into the case to determine whether the shootings would be considered federal hate crimes.

Appearing in court via video conference, Purinton looked haggard and was soft-spoken. He was assigned a court-appointed attorney, and his bond remains set at $2 million. His next court date is March 9.

What allegedly happened

The incident began after a man became agitated with two 32-year-old Indian men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, at Austins Bar & Grill, witness Jeremy Luby told CNN.

Ian Grillot, a regular at the bar, approached the man and asked him to leave, according to CNN affiliate KMBC.

"He said (to Grillot), 'Why are you standing up for them?' He emphasized 'them,' as if 'them' was a derogatory term," Luby told CNN.

The suspect left the bar and drove away, according to Grillot. He allegedly returned later and allegedly opened fire in the bar, according to prosecutors.

One witness reportedly heard the suspect yell, "Get out of my country" before shooting, the Kansas City Star reports, though police have not corroborated that report.

Kuchibhotla was killed. Madasani and Grillot survived, according to authorities.

Grillot, who was shot in the hand and chest, was praised as a hero for attempting to intervene and subdue the suspect, he said in a video from his hospital bed.

Purinton was arrested hours later at an Applebee's restaurant in Clinton, Missouri, about 70 miles away from Olathe.

In 911 calls released by CNN affiliate KSHB, an Applebee's bartender told police that a man had admitted to shooting two "Iranian" people in Olathe and was looking for a place to hide.

'Rage and malice'

On Sunday, Madasani spoke at a vigil in Olathe set up to honor Kuchibhotla, his co-worker and best friend, according to CNN affiliate KCTV.

"It was rage and malice in an individual's heart that killed my friend, killed our friend," Madasani said. "It's an isolated incident that doesn't reflect the true spirit of Kansas, Midwest and United States."

Kuchibhotla and Madasani both worked at Garmin, the tech company that makes GPS devices.

Kuchibhotla's widow said that she had been worried about violence against foreigners in the United States, but Kuchibhotla had told her not to worry.

"I told him many times, 'Should we think about going back? Should we think about going to a different country?' He said, 'No,' " Sunayana Dumala said, according to video recorded by KCTV.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted a link to an article on the shooting and called on President Donald Trump to "step up and speak out" against "threats and hate crimes."

A judge sentenced two people to prison Monday for their involvement in a confrontation at a child's birthday party that involved weapons and the Confederate flag.

In July 2015, just weeks after the Charleston church massacre, a large group of people drove up to a birthday party in Douglasville in trucks, flying American, military and Confederate flags. According to prosecutors, about 15 people, several pointing guns, were riding through town that day with a group called "Respect the Flag."
HOMEOWNER'S PRO-TRUMP SIGNS VANDALIZED FOR 6TH TIME
The child's mother, Melissa Alford, said the group walked up to her property and threatened her family.

The people accused in the case said the confrontation started when someone at the party threw an object at one of the trucks, but the mother's accusations and video of the incident were enough to charge two people, Kayla Norton and Jose Torres, with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and violating the Georgia Street Gang Act, for which they were found guilty earlier this month.

Monday morning, a judge sentenced Torres to 20 years in prison, with 13 to serve. Norton was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with six to serve.

"If you drive around town with a Confederate flag, yelling the N-word, you know how it's going to be interpreted," Judge William McClain said. "It's inexplicable to me that you weren't arrested by the police that day.

With tears in her eyes, Norton spoke directly to several of the family members who were at the party.

"What happened to you was horrible. Mother-to-mother, I can't imagine what it was like to explain what that word means to a child. I accept responsibility for what I did, but that was not me," the 25-year-old mother said fighting back tears in her eyes.

According to Douglas County prosecutors, Norton was not one of riders who pointed shotguns at the adults and children in the yard of the Douglasville home, but Assistant District Attorney David Emadi she was among many who hurled menacing threats while yelling the N-word.

"They repeatedly yelled death threats saying they were going to killing all the N----. They said, 'We'll blow the heads off all the little b------ and the little n----- can get one too,'" Emadi told Judge William McClain during the sentencing hearing.

Hyesha Bryant was at the party with her 3 children and other loved ones and responded to Norton's apology.
JEWISH CENTERS ACROSS SEVERAL STATES EVACUATED
"We all have to be held accountable for our actions. I forgive you. I forgive all of you. I am not a mean spirited person and I'm sorry for your family that it had to come this far," Bryant said as Norton and Torres wept.

No shots were fired that day, but Judge McClain said the group's actions were still quite harmful.

"I don't think it's a coincidence that this incident happened one month after the Charleston shooting," Judge McClain said speaking directly to both convicts. "I suppose confederate flags can be interpreted different ways and different contexts, but if you're driving around waving Confederate flags and using the N-word everywhere you go, then there's only one way to interpret that," he said.

Speaking at the White House to attorneys general from around the country, Mr. Trump was asked by Josh Shapiro, the attorney general of Pennsylvania, about the wave of attacks and how the federal government could work with state governments to confront the violence.

"First, he said the acts were reprehensible," Mr. Shapiro, a Democrat who was elected to the post in November, said while recounting Mr. Trump's response. "Second he said: 'And you've got to be careful, it could be the reverse. This could be the reverse, trying to make people look bad.' "

The comments echoed the Twitter post of an adviser, Anthony Scaramucci, who suggested that Democrats were behind threats to Jewish community centers.

It's not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don't forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies https://t.co/uTBFGhI0Kh
- Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) Feb. 28, 2017

During the presidential campaign, Mr. Trump was questioned for his seemingly reluctant denunciation of David Duke, the former Klansman who backed him, and for the onslaught of anti-Semitic hate from supporters on social media. At a news conference this month, Mr. Trump suggested that people who were holding up anti-Semitic signs at rallies were doing so to make him look bad.

"Some of it is written by our opponents," Mr. Trump said at the time. "You do know that. Do you understand that?"

Approximately 100 tombstones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia this week, the second such attack in the city in the last month. Synagogues, community centers and cemeteries around the country have been targeted this year.

Democrats condemned Mr. Trump's remarks on Tuesday and called for an apology.

"For millennia, Jews have not only endured unthinkable violence, but the subsequent denial of that violence," said Eric Walker, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. "For the president of the United States to insinuate that threats to Jewish community centers are illegitimate is truly beyond the pale."

The Anti-Defamation League, which combats anti-Semitism, said it was "astonished" by Mr. Trump's sentiments and called on him to clarify his remarks.

Mr. Shapiro, speaking on the sidelines of the attorneys general conference, said that he was not entirely sure of what to make of Mr. Trump's comments.

"I was a little surprised by it, and others were, too, Republicans and Democrats," Mr. Shapiro said. "The question I asked was a genuine one and one of great concern to people in my state."

Mr. Trump told the attorneys general that he planned to discuss the issue during his address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Trump: 'I think I've done great things'

Mr. Trump gave his presidency an A so far in an interview broadcast Tuesday morning, but he added that he would only give himself a C for communicating how great he has been.

Appearing on "Fox and Friends," which he has called one of his favorite shows, Mr. Trump blamed former President Barack Obama for organizing opposition against him, called Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, "incompetent" and gently criticized his own press secretary for how he has handled leaks.

The interview, shown just hours before Mr. Trump was to deliver his first address to a joint session of Congress, set the stage for a day when he will have perhaps the biggest audience available to him for the rest of his first year in office. He highlighted his plans to increase military spending, tighten borders and replace Mr. Obama's health care program, and he boasted that he had already brought back jobs to America.

"I think I've done great things, but I don't think I have - I and my people - I don't think we've explained it well enough to the American public," he said. "I think I get an A in terms of what I've actually done, but in terms of messaging, I'd give myself a C or a C-plus."

He acknowledged that he did not have the support of a majority of Americans in polls, but he said those who do back him were more intense. "The love is great," he said. "And I saw a poll where I was at 45 or 46 percent, but one of the things they said is that the level of enthusiasm for me is as strong as they've ever seen."

Mr. Trump rejected criticism by Ms. Pelosi, who said that for all the sound and fury, the president had not actually accomplished much in his first month in office. "I've been watching Nancy's tape, and so I think she's incompetent, actually," Mr. Trump said.

Asked by the Fox hosts if he thought Mr. Obama was responsible for some of the protests against his policies, Mr. Trump agreed but brushed it off. "I think he is behind it," he said. "I also think it's politics," adding, "And look, I have a very thick skin."

Mr. Trump, who has railed against leaks, said some of them had probably come from holdovers from the Obama administration. But he said his press secretary, Sean Spicer, was wrong to have brought a group of staff members into his office and inspect their cellphones in the presence of White House lawyers.

"Sean Spicer is a fine human being; he's a fine person," Mr. Trump said. "I would have done it differently. I would have gone one-on-one with different people." He added: "I would have handled it differently than Sean. But Sean handles it his way, and I'm O.K. with it."

Engel pledges: No handshake for Trump

For almost three decades, Representative Eliot L. Engel, a New York Democrat, has stood along the aisle of the House chamber for every presidential address to Congress, waiting to shake the president's hand.

But on Tuesday evening, Mr. Trump will become the first president since 1989 to not receive a greeting from Mr. Engel.

As curious reporters mused whether Mr. Engel would repeat his annual ritual of claiming his seat long before the address begins, the lawmaker bypassed the prime empty aisle seat and a chance to shake hands with his fellow New Yorker.

Among other disagreements that factored into his decision to skip the handshake, Mr. Engel said, were Mr. Trump's unwillingness to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election and his attacks on the news media.

"The president needs to work with all people," Mr. Engel said. "And therefore I will listen to what he has to say today, but I will not greet him and shake his hand."

Mr. Engel, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, has been among Mr. Trump's most vocal critics in the House, pressing for further investigations into the administration's ties to Russia. In January Mr. Engel introduced legislation that would punish any foreign entity found to have intervened in a federal election.

Some Democrats planned to make a statement with their wardrobe as well: A group of female members planned to wear white, the color of the suffragist movement, in a signal to Mr. Trump on women's rights.

Representative Lois Frankel of Florida, the chairwoman of the Democratic Women's Working Group, said on Twitter that the choice of attire symbolized "a pledge to protect women's health, fair pay, paid leave & more!"

On crime and punishment

Based on the preview that his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, gave reporters on Monday, Mr. Trump is expected to hark back to his "law and order" theme by promising more aggressive federal policing of gun crimes, drugs and other areas in response to a rise in violent crime in some big cities.

Crime is near historic lows nationwide and remains far below levels seen in the 1970s and '80s.

But Mr. Sessions, a former senator and prosecutor who was an important campaign adviser to Mr. Trump, told reporters he was worried that the increase in violence in some major cities, like Chicago and Baltimore, was "not a blip" and could signal "a longer-term trend." Mr. Sessions gave speech of his own on that topic Tuesday morning to the National Association of Attorneys General in Washington.

Mr. Sessions said he wanted to let local police officers know "that they're being supported" in Washington, and he suggested that morale was lagging in some departments because of a lack of federal leadership.

The buck stops where?

Mr. Trump will also be trying to affirm his role as commander in chief.

In the Fox interview, Mr. Trump described a raid in Yemen that left an American commando and a number of civilians dead as something that generals "wanted to do" and that was planned before he took office, drawing charges that he was deflecting responsibility for a mission he approved.

Mr. Trump was asked to respond to William Owens, father of Chief Petty Officer William Owens, 36, the Navy SEAL member who was killed in the Jan. 29 raid. Mr. Owens told The Miami Herald that he refused to meet with the president when his son's body was returned home, and asked why the new administration had rushed into a "stupid mission."

"Well, this was a mission that was started before I got here," Mr. Trump said. "This was something that was, you know, just, they wanted to do. They came to see me, they explained what they wanted to do, the generals."

Moments later, he reiterated that "this was something that they were looking at for a long time doing."

His statement drew sharp responses from critics who said he was defying a long tradition of commanders shouldering responsibility for what happens under them.

Trump blaming military leadership for losses in Yemen raid invites military to leak its own version of what went wrong and who is to blame
- David Frum (@davidfrum) Feb. 28, 2017

"He's the opposite of a `buck stops here' president," said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University. "Trump has a predilection for always blaming somebody else for what goes wrong."

Andrew Exum, a former Army Ranger who served as a deputy assistant secretary of defense in the Obama administration, wrote on Twitter that in the Trump worldview, "Trump is responsible for all the victories, his team for all the defeats."

Though he spoke of the Yemen mission not as his own, but as a project of "the generals," Mr. Trump boasted, "My generals are the most respected that we've had in many decades, I believe." In fact, the military command consists almost entirely of people who were in their posts before he took office.

Democrats' guests send anti-Trump message

Muslims. Immigrants. A recent detainee.

Officially, the Democratic rebuttal to Mr. Trump's speech will come from Steven L. Beshear, the former governor of Kentucky, who will defend the Affordable Care Act.

But inside the House chamber where Mr. Trump will speak, Democrats plan to assemble a cadre of human symbols, bringing as guests several people imperiled by the president's policies. Eschewing wide-scale boycotts of the speech - a feature of Mr. Trump's inaugural address - members of Congress have used their invitations as another form of protest.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is bringing an Iraqi refugee who settled in the state in 2010 and is now an American citizen. Representative Nydia M. Velázquez of New York invited Hameed Khalid Darweesh, who worked as a translator for American forces in Iraq and was detained last month at Kennedy International Airport under the Trump administration's travel ban. Other guests include undocumented immigrants who were protected from deportation under Mr. Obama, an Iranian graduate student and the founder of the Syrian Community Network.

According to CNN affiliate BFM-TV, a local police officer aiding in the security detail for the President's visit accidentally discharged his weapon. The officer is a sniper and was positioned on top of a building, the Prefet of Charente Pierre N'Gahane told BFM-TV.

The President was speaking at the inauguration of a high-speed train line.

Video on the French presidential Élysée website showed Hollande speaking, and then a gunshot is heard. "I hope it is nothing serious," he said. "I don't think so."

An investigation has been opened.

"This seems to have been an accident," Guitton said. He said Hollande has since left the city.

No other details were released about the injured.

The man accused of shooting two technology workers from India and another man at a bar in Kansas last week had his first court appearance on Monday in a high-profile case that is being investigated as a possible hate crime.

Adam Purinton, 51, faces one charge of first-degree murder and two charges of attempted first-degree murder in last Wednesday's shooting in Olathe that killed one person and injured two others.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Adam Purinton, 51, faces one charge of first-degree murder and two charges of attempted first-degree murder in last Wednesday's shooting in Olathe that killed one person and injured two others.

The incident has raised worries among Indians and other communities about possible violence against foreign workers in the United States.

A motive has not yet been established, and the FBI is looking into the case to determine whether the shootings would be considered federal hate crimes.

Appearing in court via video conference, Purinton looked haggard and was soft-spoken. He was assigned a court-appointed attorney, and his bond remains set at $2 million. His next court date is March 9.

What allegedly happened

The incident began after a man became agitated with two 32-year-old Indian men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, at Austins Bar & Grill, witness Jeremy Luby told CNN.

Ian Grillot, a regular at the bar, approached the man and asked him to leave, according to CNN affiliate KMBC.

"He said (to Grillot), 'Why are you standing up for them?' He emphasized 'them,' as if 'them' was a derogatory term," Luby told CNN.

The suspect left the bar and drove away, according to Grillot. He allegedly returned later and allegedly opened fire in the bar, according to prosecutors.

One witness reportedly heard the suspect yell, "Get out of my country" before shooting, the Kansas City Star reports, though police have not corroborated that report.

Kuchibhotla was killed. Madasani and Grillot survived, according to authorities.

Grillot, who was shot in the hand and chest, was praised as a hero for attempting to intervene and subdue the suspect, he said in a video from his hospital bed.

Purinton was arrested hours later at an Applebee's restaurant in Clinton, Missouri, about 70 miles away from Olathe.

In 911 calls released by CNN affiliate KSHB, an Applebee's bartender told police that a man had admitted to shooting two "Iranian" people in Olathe and was looking for a place to hide.

'Rage and malice'

On Sunday, Madasani spoke at a vigil in Olathe set up to honor Kuchibhotla, his co-worker and best friend, according to CNN affiliate KCTV.

"It was rage and malice in an individual's heart that killed my friend, killed our friend," Madasani said. "It's an isolated incident that doesn't reflect the true spirit of Kansas, Midwest and United States."

Kuchibhotla and Madasani both worked at Garmin, the tech company that makes GPS devices.

Kuchibhotla's widow said that she had been worried about violence against foreigners in the United States, but Kuchibhotla had told her not to worry.

"I told him many times, 'Should we think about going back? Should we think about going to a different country?' He said, 'No,' " Sunayana Dumala said, according to video recorded by KCTV.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted a link to an article on the shooting and called on President Donald Trump to "step up and speak out" against "threats and hate crimes."

Twelve members of the Gulf Shores High School marching band were injured, four of them critically, when a car plowed into the band at a Mardi Gras parade Tuesday in Gulf Shores, Alabama, city spokesman Grant Brown said.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three students are in critical condition but stable, Gulf Shores city spokesman Grant Brown said. The victims' ages range from 12 to 17.

Brown said a 73-year-old man was driving the SUV, which accelerated before it hit the Gulf Shores High School marching band. It was not immediately clear why the driver accelerated, but authorities do not believe the crash was intentional.

"Every indication is that it was a tragic accident," police Chief Ed Delmore said.

Senior Jeremy Koonce told CNN affiliate WPMI that he was in the section of woodwind players that was hit, but someone pushed him out of the way.

"A couple people got rolled under the actual truck, and I saw people roll out from underneath it, and they were like clutching themselves in pain," Koonce told the station.

As the children were treated and rushed to ambulances, dented musical instruments and debris were scattered on the street.

One of the students was released from the hospital, the school system said Tuesday afternoon on its Facebook page. Cindy Diehl indicated to WPMI the student was her 15-year-old daughter, who had a bruised pelvic bone and road rash.

"... but I think she's going to do pretty good," said Diehl.

Six of those injured are middle school students; six are high school students, Baldwin County Public Schools said in a statement.

Brown said there were no signs that drugs or alcohol were involved. Delmore told reporters at a second news conference that the driver had given blood samples voluntarily.

The chief said there is at least one video showing the accident, and police also hope to retrieve information about the vehicle's speed and movement from an computer on the SUV.

Several emergency agencies scrambled to the coastal community to help with what fire Battalion Chief Kevin Tolbert called a "mass trauma incident."

Tolbert said the SUV ended up on top of some of the children.

A crisis counselor was at a local high school to comfort students and parents who witnessed the crash, said Angie Swiger, a member of the Baldwin County Board of Education.

"It's going to be a very difficult day," she said. "It is a tight-knit community. We just ask for everyone's thoughts and prayers."

The vehicle was representing the Military Officers Association of America. The organization said it was still learning the facts.

"We're concerned about those who have been injured and our hearts and prayers go out to them and their families as they deal with this unfortunate mishap," the organization said.

Brown said the band was at the head of the parade and the SUV was behind the 100 or so members. The band marched onto a highway to begin the parade and the truck followed.

"And then something went terribly wrong," Brown said.

Get arrested? Check.

A 99-year-old woman in the Netherlands got the help of her local police to fulfill her longtime wish of getting cuffed.
COLLEGE KID SAYS HIS MOM SENT HIM A CARE PACKAGE OF TRASH
The woman, named Annie, wanted to "experience a police cell from within," officers from the Dutch town of Nijmegan-Zuid wrote on Facebook.

Last week, Annie's niece got in touch with the police force to organize the elderly woman's "arrest" so they could help make her dreams come true.

Officers drove Annie to the police station and locked her in a cell. They slapped on a pair of handcuffs for the full effect.

She was all smiles.

European company employee goes missing along with $100M

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A major European conglomerate says one of its employees in South Korea has gone missing -- along with $100 million.

Power and robotics firm ABB announced Wednesday that it has "uncovered a sophisticated criminal scheme" at its South Korean unit. It only noticed the huge sums had been stolen after the employee of the subsidiary disappeared about two weeks ago.

The employee, who ABBhas not identified, is suspected of forging documents and working with individuals outside the company to steal the money, according to ABB and South Korean police.

A police spokesman said that the suspect is believed to have fled to Hong Kong and that they are working with Interpol to bring him back to South Korea. Interpol declined to comment on the investigation.

The embezzlement and misappropriation of funds is limited to South Korea, where ABB employs about 800 staff, the company said. Other people could still come under investigation.

"We're looking at every option," ABB spokesman Domenico Truncellito said. "We are investigating externally and internally as well."

He declined to provide more information about the missing employee or the investigation.

As a result of the theft, the Swedish-Swiss corporation said it expects to take a pre-tax hit of $100 million on its 2016 results. ABB reported net profit of nearly $2 billion last year on revenue of around $34 billion.

The company said it is trying to recover the missing money and is also pursuing legal and insurance claims in an effort to reduce the blow to its finances.

ABB, which employees roughly 132,000 people around the world, said the affair may delay the publication of its annual report.

Police Sniper accidentally shot at French President (president Hollande)
Two people were injured after a police sharpshooter accidentally fired his weapon during a speech given by French President Francois Hollande
Hollande was speaking in Villognon, Charente in western France at the opening of a high-speed train between Paris and Bordeaux when the sound of a gunshot interrupted his speech on Tuesday afternoon.
"I hope that wasn't serious," Hollande said nonchalantly before continuing with his speech at the unveiling of the LGV high speed rail line.

Two people were injured after a police sharpshooter accidentally fired his weapon during a speech given by French President Francois Hollande, according to a French official cited by the AP.

Hollande was speaking in Villognon, Charente in western France at the opening of a high-speed train between Paris and Bordeaux when the sound of a gunshot interrupted his speech on Tuesday afternoon.

A shot is clearly heard ringing out in footage from the scene.

"I hope that wasn't serious," Hollande said nonchalantly before continuing with his speech at the unveiling of the LGV high speed rail line.

It's understood the weapon's safety mechanism was not on when a sniper, located on a nearby rooftop, tripped when changing position and accidentally fired his weapon in the process, reports Le Parisien. The bullet landed in the marquee in which Hollande was addressing the assembled crowd, according to Soud Ouest.

Two people located inside the marquee received leg injuries as a result, although they're not believed to be serious. One is understood to have been a waiter and the other a member of the LGV maintenance crew, according to L'Express.

Following his speech, which lasted around 20 minutes, Hollande is reported to have met with the injured parties, both of whom were treated on site.

An investigation into the incident has been launched and a public prosecutor is expected to hold a press conference later on Tuesday, reports La Provence.

President Trump will outline his plans for the nation in his first major address to Congress Tuesday night

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump will outline his plans for the nation in his first major address to Congress Tuesday night.

While the White House promises the message will be focused on the "renewal of the American spirit," Americans across the country are weighing in on the key issues they would like to see tackled in a new administration.

ABC News has launched a "Listening to America" series dedicated to sharing how Americans across the nation feel about the direction of the country.

The series begins in Wichita, Kansas, an industrial hub that is commonly referred to as the "Air Capital of the World" and is home to Koch Industries.

Wichita mayor, Jeff Longwell, describes the city as friendly, taking pride in its welcoming spirit.

"We're the kind of city that when you walk by someone, a total stranger, they're going to say 'Hi,' they're going to wave," he said. "We're that typical Midwestern city."

Longwell, a Republican elected to office in 2015, attended President Trump's inauguration in Washington, D.C. Protests, following the inauguration and later policy announcements by the Trump administration, have been organized in cities across the country, including Wichita.

But, Longwell said he believes the political climate and feeling in his city are different from other places.

"We've had the friendly protests; we've had some marches here, but a different tone to them," he said. "I don't know if it's the same tone of the angriness you see in other places."

Wichita entrepreneur, Schane Gross said she has seen more residents become politically active since Trump was elected.

"There wasn't a lot of political activation that happened in Wichita while Obama was in the presidency, but with Trump being in the presidency there's a lot of political activation," Gross told ABC News. "There are people who have never been involved with politics before that are stepping up and running for office or supporting people that are running for office, that I've never seen before."

As all eyes turn to President Trump for his congressional address, Gross is hoping to get a sense of transparency -- something she says she expects from any administration, past, present or future.

"I feel like if everybody knows the tools that they have to work with, then there is no reason why they can't get ahead."

President Trump's congressional address begins at 9 p.m. ET and will stream live on abcnews.com/live.

A student slashed one of his classmates with a machete in a Florida high school bathroom, in an attack that’s stunned students and parents this week, local media reported.

A student slashed one of his classmates with a machete in a Florida high school bathroom, in an attack that's stunned students and parents this week, local media reported.

Parents said one of the reasons they were outraged was because Ocoee High School officials kept them in the dark for days after the attack on Thursday.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ARRESTED WITH MACHETE ON CAMPUS
"Nobody knew, the school didn't tell nobody," senior Thalia Burt told Fox 35, "and for something like that to happen and all us kids being there, it's crazy, 'cause we wouldn't have known, what if it happens to us?"

The wounded student's injuries were minor, police said.

Principal Laura Beusse sent a message to parents on Monday calling it "an isolated incident between two students," the Orlando Sentinel reported. "At no time was the safety on campus compromised."
CHARGES UPGRADED FOR MAN ACCUSED IN MACHETE ATTACK ON GIRL
The attack started in a bathroom, where a 15-year-old student jumped out of a stall and slashed a classmate on the wrist with a machete, police said. They arrested the suspect in the school's parking lot, and the machete was found on the grass nearby. They did not name the students.

When asked about the attacker, two people who claimed to be his cousins told Fox 35 his classmates "were all picking on him."

Despite a noticeable police presence at the school west of Orlando, students say there is still a violence problem on campus.

The suspect was being held in juvenile detention without bond after being charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and having a weapon on school property.

Beusse reportedly said the school would take "appropriate" disciplinary action. "Please know that safety is a top priority for all students and staff on campus at all times."

911 calls reveal the Kansas suspect thought he'd shot 'two Iranians'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Adam Purinton, 51, faces one charge of first-degree murder and two charges of attempted first-degree murder in last Wednesday's shooting in Olathe that killed one person and injured two others.

The incident has raised worries among Indians and other communities about possible violence against foreign workers in the United States.

A motive has not yet been established, and the FBI is looking into the case to determine whether the shootings would be considered federal hate crimes.

Appearing in court via video conference, Purinton looked haggard and was soft-spoken. He was assigned a court-appointed attorney, and his bond remains set at $2 million. His next court date is March 9.

What allegedly happened

The incident began after a man became agitated with two 32-year-old Indian men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, at Austins Bar & Grill, witness Jeremy Luby told CNN.

Ian Grillot, a regular at the bar, approached the man and asked him to leave, according to CNN affiliate KMBC.

"He said (to Grillot), 'Why are you standing up for them?' He emphasized 'them,' as if 'them' was a derogatory term," Luby told CNN.

The suspect left the bar and drove away, according to Grillot. He allegedly returned later and allegedly opened fire in the bar, according to prosecutors.

One witness reportedly heard the suspect yell, "Get out of my country" before shooting, the Kansas City Star reports, though police have not corroborated that report.

Kuchibhotla was killed. Madasani and Grillot survived, according to authorities.

Grillot, who was shot in the hand and chest, was praised as a hero for attempting to intervene and subdue the suspect, he said in a video from his hospital bed.

Purinton was arrested hours later at an Applebee's restaurant in Clinton, Missouri, about 70 miles away from Olathe.

In 911 calls released by CNN affiliate KSHB, an Applebee's bartender told police that a man had admitted to shooting two "Iranian" people in Olathe and was looking for a place to hide.

'Rage and malice'

On Sunday, Madasani spoke at a vigil in Olathe set up to honor Kuchibhotla, his co-worker and best friend, according to CNN affiliate KCTV.

"It was rage and malice in an individual's heart that killed my friend, killed our friend," Madasani said. "It's an isolated incident that doesn't reflect the true spirit of Kansas, Midwest and United States."

Kuchibhotla and Madasani both worked at Garmin, the tech company that makes GPS devices.

Kuchibhotla's widow said that she had been worried about violence against foreigners in the United States, but Kuchibhotla had told her not to worry.

"I told him many times, 'Should we think about going back? Should we think about going to a different country?' He said, 'No,' " Sunayana Dumala said, according to video recorded by KCTV.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted a link to an article on the shooting and called on President Donald Trump to "step up and speak out" against "threats and hate crimes."

CNN's Ryan Young and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report.

Trump feels that the mistake that happened at the Oscars might not have happened if they spent less time talking about him and more time focusing on the awards. He also felt it was wrong for Jimmy Kimmel to insinuate that Trump is a racist in his opening monologue at the Academy Awards.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Movie stars may not want to spend so much time talking politics and spend more time getting their big award show right.

That was President Donald Trump's advice in a series of interviews he gave Monday ahead of his first Congressional address.

In an exclusive interview with " FOX & Friends," Trump responded to jokes in Jimmy Kimmel's Academy Awards monologue that insinuated he's racist.

"It just seems the other side, whenever they are losing badly, they always pull out the race card," Trump told "FOX & Friends" in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday morning.

Among other jokes at Trump's expense, Kimmel said "Remember when last year the Oscars were considered racist?" suggesting that now things are even worse with Trump.

"The fact is, I did pretty well, much better than past people in the Republican Party in the recent election, having to do with Hispanics, having to do with African Americans," he said. "I did pretty well or I wouldn't be sitting here."

When asked if Trump took Kimmel's joke seriously, he said, "I can't."

"Because I consider it a very serious [accusation] when they say it and I have to write it off as purely politics."

Trump also responded to the night's best picture gaffe, when "La La Land" was mistakenly awarded the night's top honor. He said maybe it could have been avoided if the stars spent a little less time on him.
DONALD TRUMP JABS PEPPER OSCARS
"I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn't get the act together at the end," Trump told Breitbart. "It was a little sad. It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. It didn't feel like a very glamorous evening. I've been to the Oscars. There was something very special missing, and then to end that way was sad."
