NEWS: FORT BRAGG SOLDIERS RETURN / PITTSBURGH OFFICER SHOOTING / DALLAS OFFICER QUITS

SFC Rodney Amistad hugs his children Anthony, 4, and Anaya, 7, as family and friends welcome members of XVIII Airborne Corps at Pope Air Force Base Saturday in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Approximately 200 soldiers returned following a 15-month deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

PITTSBURGH OFFICER SHOOTING

On Saturday, Margaret Poplawski called 911 so that police could kick out her son, Richard, after the two argued over a dog urinating in the house.

When Officers Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo II arrived, Poplawski opened the door, unaware that Richard was standing behind her with a rifle. Officer Sciullo, 37, died of wounds to the head and torso and Officer Mayhle, 29, was shot in the head. Officer Eric Kelly, 41, arrived to help the first two officers, but was killed in the street.

Poplawski is charged with three counts of criminal homicide, as well as nine counts of attempted homicide — one each for the eight officers who were shot at in a SWAT vehicle, and a ninth for one who was shot in the hand as he tried to help Officer Kelly.

MAG COVERS: JILL SCOTT COVERS JET / J.HUD COVERS E.W.

Three-time Grammy-winning singer-turned actress Jill Scott covers the newest issue of JET Magazine. Scott is starring in HBO’s newest series, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, airing Sundays at 8pm EST.

Jill sat down with JET and spoke about her new baby and more:

Scott is counting down the days before she gets to lay eyes on what she calls her most precious gift yet. The soon-to-be-mom, whose due date is April 25, looks forward to her little one, since past doctors told her that she was unable to conceive. He’s my little warrior, Scott told Jet magazine. So far, he’s been to Africa with me, he’s worked in extreme heat and during 14-15 hour days. He’s hung in there with me through this whole thing and I just cannot get over it. This is incredible.

If things had gone as intended, Scott would have married Lil John Roberts, 37, her band’s drummer, last month. The pregnancy, however, has since altered their plans. We are just people, of course, so we have to deal with one thing at a time. We may get married. We may not. Who knows? We don’t. We’re just taking it as slow as we can.
