News

MN police shooting
Protesters are calling it another case of racial profiling. A 32-year-old Minnesota man was shot to death by a police officer during a traffic stop last night. And the girlfriend of the dead man livestreamed from the scene on Facebook, saying police had shot Philando Castile "for no apparent reason." Castile's girlfriend says her boyfriend told the officer he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and when Castile began putting his hands up, he was shot several times. The video shows a bloodied Castile still alive.

Herring shortage
Maine regulators say they will issue an emergency rule in the coming days that will address a bait shortage that is affecting the fishing industry. There is a shortage of herring, which is the most popular kind of bait used in the lobster fishery.
