3 killed, 3 woundedafter fight in Detroit
DETROIT -- Gunfire erupted after a fight on the city's east side Tuesday night, leaving three men dead and three other people wounded, police said.
Deputy Chief Ronald Haddad said the shootings happened after two women were fighting outside a home and one of them returned with a man. Shots were then fired, hitting six people, Haddad said.
The victims ranged in age from 17 and 45, police said.
Two victims were hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said. Haddad said a man, who was shot in the chest, and a woman shot in the knee appeared to be innocent bystanders who were at or near their homes.
Others wounded included a 17-year-old girl who went to a hospital on her own with a bullet wound to a hand, police said. The injury wasn't considered life-threatening.
Police didn't immediately release information about a suspect.
Nude camp ban challenged
RICHMOND, Va. -- A lawsuit filed Tuesday challenges a state law that effectively bans nude summer camps for teenagers, saying it violates the constitutional right to privacy.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued in federal court to keep the state from shutting down a no-clothing camp for juveniles in late July at the White Tail Park nudist camp in Ivor.
The law was passed in March in response to a weeklong residential camp for 11- to 18-year-olds last June at White Tail. It was the first in Virginia and only the third such au naturel camp for juveniles in the nation, according to the American Association of Nude Recreation.
"Legislators overreacted and in the process they substantially interfered with the right of families to make lifestyle choices," Virginia ACLU executive director Kent Willis said.
Fertility clinic suit settled
NEW YORK -- A white woman who was the unwitting surrogate mother for a black baby has settled her lawsuit against a fertility clinic that mistakenly implanted a black couple's embryo in her uterus.
A judicial hearing officer who was to preside over the trial said Tuesday that lawyers for Donna and Richard Fasano and for the clinic and its operators told him of the settlement.
No terms were disclosed.
The embryo mix-up occurred at the Central Park Medical Services fertility clinic in 1998, when both women were there to have their fertilized embryos implanted in their uteruses.
A doctor admitted he put some of the fertilized embryos of the black woman, Deborah Perry-Rogers, then 33, into a catheter that was used to implant the embryos of Donna Fasano, then 37, according to court papers.
Fasano became pregnant and gave birth to two boys -- one white and one black. Perry-Rogers was implanted only with her own fertilized eggs; none of those produced a fetus.
The Fasanos gave the black baby to the Rogerses five months later, but a failed agreement over visitation rights for the Fasanos led to further court battles.
Russians sentenced
DOHA, Qatar -- A Qatari court convicted two Russian intelligence officers today in the assassination of a Chechen rebel leader and sentenced them to life in prison.
A life sentence in Qatar is 25 years.
The judge in the case said the plot to assassinate Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, a former Chechen president and rebel leader, was carried out with the approval of the "Russian leadership" and coordinated between Moscow and the Russian Embassy in Qatar.
Yandarbiyev, who had been linked to terrorism by Russia, the United States and the United Nations, was killed in a February car bombing that also injured his teenage son. The Russian officers were arrested soon after.
