The latest with the Ohio train derailment in East Palestine.
(AP) The president of Norfolk Southern made a visit to East Palestine, Ohio, on Saturday following criticism from residents and political leaders about the company's response to the fiery derailment of a freight train carrying toxic materials earlier this month.
Fox Business reports that company president and CEO Alan Shaw told reporters Saturday he was there “to support the community” but declined further comment.
Earlier in the week, representatives of Norfolk Southern were absent from a public meeting attended by hundreds of people, with officials saying they were worried about physical threats. Gov. Mike DeWine was upset by the no-show at the Wednesday meeting and said Shaw needed to go to East Palestine and answer questions.
Norfolk Southern said in a statement Friday that it was “committed to coordinating the cleanup project and paying for its associated costs,” saying the company wanted to ensure that East Palestine’s residents and natural environment “not only recover but thrive.”
“Our company will be working tirelessly every day to get East Palestine back on its feet as soon as possible,” Shaw said in the statement. “We know we will be judged by our actions, and we are taking this accountability and responsibility very seriously.”

,tulsi gabbard,breaking news,white house,obama,trump,trump today,trump news,trump latest,trump update,intelligence chief,Gabbard,obama administration,6IzKFiaLiyA,, Politics,Society, channel_UCNBmxc6FvKyxtCpUygcdINA, video_6IzKFiaLiyA,(AP) The Trump administration’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is touting from the White House podium the release of a House report that she claims helps undercut the reality of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Gabbard made a surprise appearance just hours after she made public a declassified report from House Republicans that was produced during the first presidential administration.
The report does not dispute the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the election, but alleges tradecraft failings in how intelligence officials reached the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin intended to have Trump win.
The release of the report, as Trump is facing backlash from elements of his base over the handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, is part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to rewrite the history of Russian election interference.
Gabbard lashed out during lengthy remarks at specific members of the Obama administration.
Gabbard didn’t address a question about those who suggest she is making the report public in order to improve her standing with Trump after she seemed to fall from favor earlier this year when he dismissed her assessments about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Instead, Leavitt opted to answer the question for Gabbard, who said the only people questioning Gabbard’s motives were news reporters “who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president’s Cabinet.”

Earlier Sunday morning, Akron police told 3News their officers responded to the scene shortly after midnight amid several calls of shots fired.
“Shortly after those calls came in, the call center received notifications from local hospitals that multiple persons were arriving in the emergency departments with gunshot wounds,” according to Akron police.
Initial reports from police said there were 27 total gunshot victims. A statement issued hours later from Mayor Malik and Chief Harding, however, lowered that number to 25 -- which includes a 27-year-old man who has been confirmed dead.
One firearm and several dozen casings have been recovered from the scene, police said.
Details surrounding any suspects connected to the shooting are unknown.

There's more to come Wednesday.
Cold air aloft allows warmer at at the bottom of the atmosphere to rise. This creates clouds and showers and sometimes rumbles of thunder.
Typically once the sun sets and cooling takes place, the air doesn't rise and things settle down.
Tomorrow the northern edge of this system will pivot across Northern Ohio. That means a soggy morning commute is likely.
Later in the day the system moves out and we'll be getting ready for a stretch of phenomenal weather late week. Rain chances won't be back until later in the weekend.

Changes are on the way come Saturday morning. A quick moving clipper system will dive into Northeast Ohio spreading rain showers as early as 7 AM. Widespread showers will be likely through the morning. The shower/storm threat turns scattered by lunchtime with a northwest wind. Upper-level dynamics could generate brief heavy downpours and even small-size hail through the early evening. Heading to the Cavaliers game around sunset, conditions will be drier.
Mother's Day looks much better with morning clouds giving way to sunshine and temps that recover into the mid 60s. If you're heading to lunch or dinner, we look great!

,1,A 53-year-old man has died after falling approximately 20 feet from an extension lift while it was being lowered amid work at the Hendricks Road bridge in Mentor last week.
A press release from Mentor city officials Tuesday morning says the employee of Beaver Excavating was painting the bridge at the time of the incident, which happened May 11 at 10:56 p.m.
“It appears that the door to the occupant area opened unexpectedly, and he was not wearing a safety harness at the time,” according to a press release from the city of Mentor.
Upon arrival, first responders reportedly found the man -- identified as Raul Perez -- “in cardiac arrest with major head injuries.” He was given care at the scene before being transported to a hospital.

,1,(AP) Russian forces have carpeted Ukraine with a fresh barrage of missiles and munition-carrying drones.
The bombardment on Tuesday came a day after strikes across the country killed at least 19 people in what the U.N. human rights office described as a “particularly shocking” attack that could amount to war crimes.
Air raid warnings sounded throughout Ukraine in the morning and sent some residents back into shelters after months of relative calm in many cities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was due to address the leaders of the Group of Seven industrial powers by videoconference Tuesday.
Russia’s widespread attacks came in retaliation for a weekend explosion that damaged a bridge linking Russia to the Crimean Peninsula.
