A Colorado judge has sentenced a former paramedic to 14 months of jail and probation in the death of Elijah McClain. Jeremy Cooper faced up to three years in prison during his Friday sentencing after administering a dose of the sedative ketamine to McClain. The 23-year-old Black man had been stopped by police as he was walking down the street in 2019. Cooper will serve four years of probation and 14 months in jail under a work release program. The sentencing caps a series of trials that resulted in three convictions. Experts say the convictions would have been unheard of before 2020 protests over racist policing.

A tornado has plowed through suburban Omaha, Nebraska, demolishing homes and businesses as the twister tore for miles along farmland and into subdivisions. It wasn’t yet clear Friday afternoon if anyone was injured or killed in the storm. Multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska but the most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into suburbs northwest of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people. Photos from social media showed damaged homes and shredded trees. After passing through the airport, the tornado crossed the Missouri River and into Iowa.

Student protests over the Israel-Hamas war have popped up on an increasing number of U.S. college campuses following last week’s arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University. The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself. Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups. The groups largely act independently, though students say they’re inspired by peers at other universities.

An investigation led by The Associated Press has found that the practice of giving sedatives to people detained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, built on questionable science and backed by police-aligned experts. The injections are given by medical personnel during police encounters. The investigation shows how a strategy intended to reduce violence and save lives has resulted in some avoidable deaths. While sedatives were mentioned as a cause or contributing factor in a dozen official death rulings, authorities often didn’t even investigate whether injections were appropriate in the 94 deaths identified by the AP over a decade. About half of the 94 who died were Black.

Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will resume his public duties next week following treatment for cancer. Friday’s announcement comes almost three months after Charles took a break from public appearances to focus on his treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer. The palace says Charles will make a public visit to a cancer treatment center on Tuesday, the first of several appearances he will make in coming weeks. One of his first major engagements will be hosting a state visit by the emperor and empress of Japan, who will visit the U.K. in June. The palace didn’t provide an update on the king’s health or his treatment.
