NoneThe Latest: UnitedHealthcare shooting suspect contests his extradition back to New York

AUSTIN, Texas — Elon Musk has secured a permit to officially open his new Montessori school in Bastrop County. The permit was issued last week and officially allows the school, named Ad Astra, to begin teaching. The school's curriculum is focused on STEM-based education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) for children between the ages of 3 and 9. It is the first of many schools Musk hopes to open, which include multiple K-through-12 schools and a college. Ad Astra is a Latin phrase that translates as "to the stars." According to its website , the school's mission is to "foster curiosity, creativity and critical thinking in the next generation of problem solvers and builders." "Ad Astra School admits students based on merit, regardless of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school," the school's website reads. The website further states that the school is centered on hands-on and project-based learning, where children are encouraged to explore, experiment and discover solutions to real-world problems. It also states that it will "tailor learning experiences to each child's unique needs, pace and interests." Ad Astra is the latest Musk-owned property to make its way to Central Texas, along with SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company, Neuralink and, most recently, the social media platform X . The South African billionaire also relocated the headquarters of SpaceX from Hawthorne, California, to to the Brownsville area. The permit means the school can now enroll around 24 students, but will start with 16.

Luigi Mangione was 'anti-woke', says friend as he reveals regret over last messages with Brian Thompson 'assassin'

Giants' Malik Nabers Refuses to Answer Question on New York Tanking For No. 1 PickLuigi Nicholas Mangione was arrested Monday in last Wednesday's attack on Brian Thompson after they say a worker at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, alerted authorities to a customer who resembled the suspected gunman. When arrested, Mangione had on him a gun that investigators believe was used in the attack and writings expressing anger at corporate America, police said. As Mangione arrived at the courthouse Tuesday, he struggled with officers and shouted something that was partly unintelligible but referred to an “insult to the intelligence of the American people.” Mangione is being held on Pennsylvania charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Manhattan prosecutors have charged him with five counts, including murder, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a forged instrument. Here are some of the latest developments: What's the latest? Wearing an orange jumpsuit, Mangione mostly stared straight ahead during the hearing, occasionally consulting papers, rocking in his chair, or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion but was quieted by his lawyer. Judge David Consiglio denied bail to Mangione, whose attorney, Thomas Dickey, told the court that his client did not agree to extradition and wants a hearing on the matter. Blair County (Pennsylvania) District Attorney Peter Weeks said that although Mangione's fighting extradition will create “extra hoops” for law enforcement to jump through, it won’t be a substantial barrier to sending him to New York. What evidence has been gathered? In addition to a three-page, handwritten document that suggests he harbored “ill will toward corporate America,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Monday that Mangione also had a ghost gun, a type of weapon that can be assembled at home and is difficult to trace. Officers questioned Mangione, who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. Officers also found a sound suppressor, or silencer, “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” she said. He had clothing and a mask similar to those worn by the shooter and a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching one the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting, the commissioner said. What do we know about Mangione? Kenny said Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and that his last known address is in Honolulu. Mangione, who was valedictorian of his Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday. Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. Mangione likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain with corporate greed, said a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, which was based on a review of the suspect’s hand-written notes and social media postings. The defendant appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown and may have been inspired by “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, whom he called a “political revolutionary,” the document said. The shooting and a quick escape Police said the person who killed Thompson left a hostel on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 5:41 a.m. on Wednesday. Eleven minutes later, he was seen on surveillance video walking back and forth in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, wearing a distinctive backpack. At 6:44 a.m., he shot Thompson at a side entrance to the hotel, fled on foot, then climbed aboard a bicycle and within four minutes had entered Central Park, according to police. Another security camera recorded the gunman leaving the park near the American Museum of Natural History at 6:56 a.m. still on the bicycle but without the backpack, police said. After getting in a taxi, he headed north to a bus terminal near the George Washington Bridge, arriving at around 7:30 a.m. From there, the trail of video evidence runs cold. Police have not located video of the suspect exiting the building, leading them to believe he likely took a bus out of town. Police said they are still investigating the path the suspect took to Pennsylvania. “This just happened this morning," Kenny said. "We’ll be working, backtracking his steps from New York to Altoona, Pennsylvania,” Kenny said. Associated Press reporters Lea Skene, Matt O'Brien, Sean Murphy and Cedar Attanasio contributed to this report.

WEST POINT, N.Y. — Army's goal every year is to reach December with a chance to win a trophy by beating Navy. The Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy will indeed be on the line when the Black Knights and Midshipmen meet on Dec. 14 in one of college football's famed rivalry games. But this season, Army can pick up some additional hardware along the way. The No. 24 Black Knights (10-1, 8-0, No. 24 CFP) can finish off a smashing debut in the American Athletic Conference by winning the conference title with a victory over Tulane (9-3, 7-1) on Friday night on their home field in West Point, New York. “There’s only 18 teams playing this week for a championship. There will only be nine winners. It’s a blessing to be in the position,” Army cornerback Jaydan Mayes said. "I think everybody would rather be on this end of the spectrum than on the other end, waiting around to play Navy and watching what could have happened for our team.” Army went undefeated in its first season in the AAC and is playing for a conference title for the first time. The Black Knights played in Conference USA from 1998-2004 and otherwise had been an independent since their program began in 1890. Quarterback Bryson Daily was the league's offensive player of the year and goes into the title game with a chance to break the AAC record for rushing touchdowns in a season. Jeff Monken was voted coach of the year. The reward is a matchup with a Tulane team playing in its third straight AAC title game. The Green Wave enter off a 34-24 home loss to Memphis on Thanksgiving that ended their 17-game winning streak in conference games, their hopes of hosting the championship and perhaps even reaching the College Football Playoff. Coach Jon Sumrall didn't expect the disappointment to linger. “We’ve got a chance to play in a conference championship. If we’re not focused then shame on us,” he said, adding he told his team of 18 all-conference selections that he doesn't remember individual honors. “I do remember which teams won championships. Like, the championship teams I’ve been a part of, I remember that forever,” Sumrall said. “Like, I’ll be 75 years old and laying around and unable to function and I’ll remember the championship teams I was part of. That’s different. It means something. It’s different. And so if we’re not focused and excited about that opportunity, we’ve got a problem. Need a heart transplant if we ain’t ready for that.” The Green Wave split their appearances in the last two AAC championship games, beating UCF in 2022 before falling to SMU last year, both at home. Army came along and rolled through its first time in the conference, losing only to Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium and snatching the No. 1 seed that had belonged to Tulane in the previous two seasons. But perhaps in part because of all their late-season experience — the Green Wave beat Southern California in the 2023 Cotton Bowl after winning the AAC championship — the visitors are listed as 4 1/2-point favorites by BetMGM. “This is a game they’ve played in. They’ve got people that have been part of the conference championship game,” Monken said. “This is our first time, so this is a new experience for our guys and it’s exciting, but we’re going to have to play very good football if we’re going to have a chance to win.” With the Navy matchup still to come, Army will appear in a conference championship game before it plays its final regular-season game. Both teams beat Air Force this season, guaranteeing the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the winner. Tulane snapped an Army 15-game home winning streak when it won at Michie Stadium on Oct. 5, 2019. This time, the Black Knights have won eight in a row at home as they welcome a Green Wave squad that has won 15 of its last 16 road games, with the only loss at then-No. 15 Oklahoma in September. Daily led the AAC with 1,354 rushing yards, including an Army single-season record nine consecutive games of 100 or more, and his 25 rushing TDs are second in the nation behind Ashton Jeanty of Boise State's 28. Daily needs one more to break the AAC mark that was set by Navy QB Will Worth in 2016. Tulane is 9-0 when outrushing its opponent but fell to 0-3 when outgained after Memphis ran to a 236-57 advantage. The Green Wave have to turn that stat back around against an Army team that leads the nation with 312.5 yards per game on the ground.
