Susan Walsh/APGeorge Washington University President Ellen Granberg said the pro-Palestinian protest encampment that has occupied part of the university's campus for more than a week "has grown into what can only be classified as an illegal and potentially dangerous occupation of GW property." “All of these things have happened at GW in the last five days.”She said the encampment is in violation of multiple university policies and is occupying the space reserved for law students' final exams. The university also believes the protest involved people not affiliated with the school, she said. CNN has reached out to MPD for more details.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors sought Wednesday to dismiss death penalty charges against a man charged with fatally shooting an Indianapolis police officer in 2020 because doctors have found him to be mentally ill. The Marion County Prosecutor's Office filed a motion to dismiss its request for a death sentence against Elliahs Dorsey, who is accused of fatally shooting Officer Breann Leath of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department while she responded to a domestic violence call. The motion came after the prosecutors reviewed psychiatric evaluations of Dorsey from two court-appointed doctors, the office said. Based on all the available evidence, the State has determined that it is constitutionally prohibited from seeking the death penalty,” it said in a news release. A telephone message seeking comment on the prosecutor's motion was left with Dorsey's attorney.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A man who died in a Texas prison decades ago has been identified as the person who abducted and stabbed three Indiana girls and left them in a cornfield nearly 50 years ago, police said, citing DNA evidence. The girls, ages 11, 13 and 14, survived the attack, but “a clear suspect” was never pinpointed and the case went cold — until now. At the time of the August 1975 attack, police said Williams lived in Indianapolis near where the three girls were abducted while hitchhiking. Investigators submitted the profile last year to DNA Labs International, a Florida-based forensic laboratory, where it was subjected to “the latest forensic technology available,” police said. After ancestry analysis helped identify the suspect's children, samples from Williams’ relatives helped confirm his identification as the attacker, police said.

In those documents, Holthus told officers that a "big, strong and angry" Redden slammed her head into the wall behind her bench, struck her multiple times, and pulled out her hair. Officers later reported that Redden told them — unprompted — that he had a bad day and had attempted to kill the judge, KSNV reported, citing the arrest report.
