  1. Marshal kills defendant

  2. A U.S. marshal fatally shot a defendant in a Utah federal courtroom Monday morning after he rushed at a witness as his trial began. Siale Angilau, an alleged gang member charged with racketeering conspiracy, was shot several times at a Salt Lake City federal courthouse after Angilau attacked someone who was on the witness stand. He later died at a hospital after being shot in the chest. Angilau was the only person shot. Angilau was one of nine alleged members of the Tongan Crip Gang charged in a 2010 indictment with racketeering conspiracy. The indictment alleges Angilau committed several convenience store robberies in Salt Lake City and assaulted the stores' clerks from December 2002 to July 2007.

  3. In Other News • Flimsy evidence led to a guilty verdict in the nation's oldest cold case ever solved, according to the man serving a life sentence for kidnapping and murdering a neighbor's child in 1957. McCullough was convicted in September 2012 of kidnapping and murdering Maria Ridulph 55 years earlier. The brown-eyed second-grader vanished from the corner of Sycamore's Archie Place and Center Cross Street on the evening of December 3, 1957. Now 74, McCullough is serving a life sentence at a state prison in Pontiac, Illinois. He denied having anything to do with Maria's disappearance and death in a lengthy police interrogation in Seattle hours before his arrest. Prosecutors and investigators said his odd demeanor during questioning convinced them they had the right man. The evidence included "personal memories of what occurred 55 years ago; a photo identification made 53 years after the incident; testimony from jailhouse informants; innocuous statements from the defendant; and an improperly admitted and inconclusive statement from the defendant's mother while on morphine and Haldol just before her death.“ • South Korea is saying that North Korea has stepped up activity at its main nuclear test site, possibly preparing to carry out a fourth underground blast. • In a field of 36,000 runners the first American man to win the Boston Marathon since 1983 crossed the finish line Monday. Meb Keflezighi, 38, won the men's division with an official time of 2:08:37. Kenya's Rita Jeptoo, 33, won her second consecutive victory. She won the women's division with an unofficial -- and course record -- time of 2:18:57.
