NATIONWIDE An early New Year’s Evedomestic disturbancesparked a mass shootingcall on Sunday, an incidentthat left one deputy dead,four others injured, and twocivilians wounded in anapartment complex southof Denver. The shooterwas killed, Douglas CountySheriff’s Department offi-cials said, and was beingconsidered no longer athreat, the reason for theshooting not immediatelyclear. A gunman shot andkilled two security guards ina Las Vegas hotel room onSaturday, shooting himselfin the head afterward in acity still reeling from theOctober 1 massacre duringwhich 58 persons werekilled by a sniper. The sus-pect was identified as 29-year-old ChristopherOlague, his actions not be-lieved to be an act of terror-ism. In a third shooting, theOrange County Registerreported on Saturday an at-torney who had been firedfrom a Southern Californialaw firm opened fire in theoffice on Friday, killing onesenior partner and wound-ing another before fatallyshooting himself. The Associated Presssaid on Monday the DowJones Industrial Average set71 new records in 2017, thebest ever one-year perform-ance for the blue-chipindex, the stocks being on atear since last year’s No-vember’s election, reflect-ing investors’ optimismover the economy, tax cuts,and the broader Trump ad-

ministration agenda. In an-other first, the Dow gainedmore than 5,000 since thestart of 2017. On Friday, the Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention said that asmany as 36 states had re-ported widespread in-fluenza activity, though itwas too early to say howbad the flu season would bethis year. The early start ofthe outbreaks, which usu-ally peak in February, wasattributed to the low effi-cacy of the vaccine and thecold temperatures grippinga large portion of the coun-try. Police in Sioux CityIowa, said on Thursday thatvandals destroyed 50 bee-hives and caused $60,000in damage to a local honeybusiness, killing thousandsof bees and the owner de-claring he had “been wipedout.” Officers said nothingin Will Bill Honey wastaken, believing the de-struction was performed byteens “doing somethingsenseless.” And the national collegefootball championship willbe an all Southeastern Con-ference matchup betweenAlabama and Georgia, theCrimson Tide routingClemson in the Sugar Bowlsemifinal 24-6 on Monday,the Bulldogs knocking offOklahoma 54-48 in a dou-ble-overtime thriller in theRose Bowl. The two teamswill face each other thiscoming Monday in Mer-cedes-Benz Stadium, Bamacoach Nick Saban having ashot at his sixth title,matching Bear Bryant’srecord.
