Candidate's Wild Fire Claims Backlash | Seattle News

A congressional candidate’s inflammatory claims that the Colville Tribes profit from wildfires by cashing in on FEMA payouts have sparked outrage, especially as a massive fire rages across tribal lands. The candidate’s assertion that tribes receive bonus funds for letting fires burn is factually wrong and culturally insensitive, dismissed by tribal leaders as “complete nonsense.” Tribes pay substantial taxes and bear 25% of fire recovery costs, while fires destroy sacred sites and traditional food sources. His misleading narrative, compounded by unrelated land disputes and calls to decentralize FEMA, has drawn sharp criticism for exploiting a crisis to advance a harmful stereotype.

Teen Pleads Guilty in School Shooting | Seattle News

A teen has pleaded guilty to 55 charges in the deadly Apalachee High School shooting that killed two teachers and two students two years ago, leaving sentencing in the hands of the judge as prosecution and defense remain at odds. The teen, then 14 and now charged as an adult, allegedly brought an assault rifle to school after meticulously planning the attack — even leaving behind a notebook with instructions and a shrine to another school shooter. His father, previously convicted of murder and manslaughter, is set to be sentenced next week, with prosecutors claiming he supplied the weapon. The defense will present psychological testimony, while prosecutors will unveil surveillance, crime scene photos, 911 calls, and social media records. Seven others were wounded in the attack.
