Cigna turns down Anthem takeover bid

SAN FRANCISCO

Health insurer Cigna Corp. has rejected a $47 billion offer to be acquired by its larger rival, Anthem Inc., saying the terms of the bid are inadequate and “woefully skewed in favor of Anthem shareholders.”

Cigna’s sharply worded rejection came just one day after Anthem went public with its cash-and-stock offer, which amounts to about $184 for each Cigna share or about an 18 percent premium on Cigna’s closing stock price Friday.

Few clues in party shooting that killed 1

Detroit

A wall of silence surrounds a shootout at a block party in Detroit that left a 19-year-old gunman dead and 11 other people wounded, police Chief James Craig said Sunday from the site where about 300 people had barbecued and celebrated hours earlier.

Standing on basketball courts where the shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Chief James Craig said officers are seeking two men believed to have exchanged gunfire with the victim, Malik Jones. So far, he said, witnesses and the injured haven’t been much help.

Four women and seven men were injured, the oldest of them 47. All were either in stable condition at hospitals or back home Sunday, Craig said.

Teen dies when slab of stone falls on him

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, N.J.

Authorities say a teenager was killed when a stone slab weighing about 650 pounds fell on him outside a southern New Jersey business that makes countertops.

Ocean County prosecutors say the 17-year-old was found at 6:40 a.m. Saturday at Stone N’ Counters South LLC in Berkeley Township. The business was closed when the accident occurred, and it’s not clear why the teen was at the site.

It appears the boy was trying to walk between marble and granite slabs when a massive slab fell on top of him. It’s not clear how long he had been trapped before a passing motorist spotted him and called police.

The teen was pronounced dead shortly after authorities arrived on scene. His name hasn’t been released.
