Officials IDsuspect in El Paso attack

EL PASO, Texas – Federal officials say a man suspected of fatally shooting a doctor and himself at an El Paso veterans’ clinic was a former clerk there who had threatened the doctor in 2013.

The FBI identified the gunman in Tuesday’s shooting as Jerry Serrato. Douglas Lindquist, who heads the FBI’s El Paso office, said Wednesday that Serrato used a .380-caliber handgun to shoot Dr. Timothy Fjordbak and himself at the El Paso Veterans Affairs Health Care System at Fort Bliss.

Nebraska may delay Keystone project

OMAHA, Neb. – The Republican-led Congress appears ready to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but no matter what actions are taken in Washington, the entire 1,179-mile project could be delayed until Nebraska signs off on the route.

After several years of intense debate, the routing process is before the Nebraska Supreme Court, and months or years could pass before construction begins in that state.
