1 BLACKSBURG, VA. Memorial to victims
A set of 32 small stones that became a focal point for the grieving Virginia Tech campus after April's shooting spree were replaced with much larger rocks in a solemn ceremony on Sunday. The new, 300-pound stones engraved with each victim's name in front of an administration building will serve as an intermediate memorial while officials look for a permanent site elsewhere on the main campus.
Gas leak sickens 17
Two Virginia Tech students were in critical condition and 15 other people were hospitalized Sunday after a suspected carbon monoxide leak at an apartment complex, police said. The two women were flown to the University of Virginia Medical Center and their three roommates were flown to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., after being found unresponsive in their beds in the Collegiate Suites apartment complex, police Capt. Bruce Bradbery said. All five women are students. Bradbery said the cause of the leak appeared to be a faulty valve on the hot water heater in the women's four-bedroom apartment that was stuck open.
2 MINNEAPOLIS Bridge victim found
The body of a man missing since an interstate bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River was recovered early Sunday, bringing the confirmed death toll to 12, authorities said. The Hennepin County medical examiner's office identified the remains as Scott Sathers, 30, of Maple Grove. Sathers worked in enrollment services at Capella University and was on his way home from work, using his usual route, when the Interstate 35W bridge crumpled amid evening rush hour traffic on Aug. 1. Divers continued to search for the last person on the list of missing, Greg Jolstad, 45, of Mora.
3 WINONA, MINN. Storms hit Midwest
Severe storms deluged parts of the upper Midwest during the night with as much as a foot of rain, causing flooding that washed away bridges and roads and killed at least four people, authorities said Sunday. Part of Winona and smaller towns in southeastern Minnesota and southwestern Wisconsin were evacuated, officials reported.
4LOS ANGELES Immigrant arrested
An illegal immigrant who sought sanctuary in a Chicago church for a year to avoid deportation and separation from her 8-year-old American son was arrested Sunday. Elvira Arellano was arrested before 3 p.m. outside Our Lady Queen of Angels church in Los Angeles where she had been speaking to reporters, said the Rev. Walter Coleman, pastor of Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago where she sought sanctuary. Coleman said he was with the Mexican national when she was detained. The 32-year-old Arellano arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday, leaving her sanctuary for the first time in a year to campaign for immigration reform.
