A federal monitor says she has found disappointing results when she studied the legality of New York City's new initiative to combat gun violence in high-crime areas with an old tactic of stopping and frisking people. Monitor Mylan Denerstein says that teams of officers deployed in 34 areas where 80 percent of the city's violent crime is reported are largely in communities of color. She says over 97 percent of those stopped are Black or Hispanic. In one police precinct, she says, only 26 percent of searches were lawful. A mayoral spokesperson says the city will strive to do better.

Some victims of the mass shooting at a gay club in Colorado Springs last year plan to sue authorities for not trying to block the shooter from buying guns before the attack. Legal notices obtained by The Denver Post on Monday say 11 survivors and relatives of those killed notified the El Paso County Sheriff's Office last month that they intended to file lawsuits over the failure to obtain a red flag order against Anderson Aldrich. Investigators say Aldrich was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun during the November 2022 shooting. A spokesperson for the sheriff's office didn't return a call seeking comment.

A series of bills in Louisiana that opponents fear will negatively impact LGBTQ+ youths are nearing final passage in the state legislature. From a "Don't Say Gay" bill for public school classrooms, to a ban on gender-affirming medical care for transgender youths and pronoun usage, it seems the fate of Louisiana's package of LGBTQ+-related bills is all but sealed. Although the bills appear likely to reach Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards’ desk, whether he will veto any of them remains to be determined. All of the bills have received approval mainly along party lines in both the House and Senate but lawmakers still must approve of mostly minor amendments.

Georgia has hired LSU pitching coach Wes Johnson as its new coach. Johnson replaces Scott Stricklin, who was fired on May 26 following a 9-0 loss to South Carolina in the opening round of the Southeastern Conference tournament. Georgia went 29-27 this season, including an 11-19 mark in the SEC. Johnson was the Minnesota Twins’ pitching coach before making the unusual move of leaving the major leagues for the job at LSU on June 22, 2022. At the time, Johnson said the career change was "the toughest thing I’ve ever done." Johnson will remain with LSU through its postseason.

Rep. George Santos’ lawyer says the indicted Republican would risk going to jail to protect the identities of the people who cosigned the $500,000 bond enabling his pretrial release. The lawyer, Joseph Murray, urged a judge Monday to deny a request by news outlets to unseal the names of Santos’ bond suretors, suggesting they could "suffer great distress," including possible job losses and physical harm, if they’re identified publicly. Murray wrote, "My client would rather surrender to pretrial detainment than subject these suretors to what will inevitably come." Santos pleaded not guilty May 10 to charges he duped donors, stole from his campaign, lied to Congress and cheated to collect unemployment benefits.

Two insurance industry giants have stepped back from the California marketplace. They say that wildfire risk and soaring construction costs have prompted them to stop writing new policies. State Farm announced last week it would stop accepting applications for all business and personal lines of property and casualty insurance. Allstate announced in November it would pause new homeowners, condo and commercial insurance policies in the state. California's unsettled market aligns with trends across the country. Insurance companies are boosting rates, limiting coverage or pulling out completely from regions susceptible to wildfires and other natural disasters.

A Florida commission says the judge who oversaw the penalty trial of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz should be publicly reprimanded for showing bias toward the prosecution. The Judicial Qualifications Commission said Monday that Circuity Judge Elizabeth Scherer sometimes allowed her emotions to overcome her judgement and violated several rules governing judicial conduct in her actions toward Nikolas Cruz's attorneys. Those included unfairly chastising them after they rested their case. It will now be up to the Florida Supreme Court to decide her punishment. She is retiring June 30. Cruz received a life sentence at the conclusion of the six-month penalty trial for murdering 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.

After committing two errors on Sunday, the Red Sox robbed the Rays of two home runs before Tampa scored three in the fifth inning to break a scoreless tie.
