Nation Suspect chased down after shooting at Michigan office TROY, Mich. - A man suspected of shooting three people, killing one, at an accounting firm where he was fired last week was arrested after a high-speed chase a few hours after the Monday morning attack, authorities said.
Police said they had located Anthony LaCalamita, 38, on Interstate 75 north of the suburban Detroit office building where the shootings took place. Sheriff's deputies and state police chased him for 30 miles, including through a construction zone, at speeds up to 120 mph before he finally pulled over after about 15 minutes, Genesee County Sheriff Robert J. Pickell said. Officers found a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun and three live shells in the vehicle, Pickell said.
Witnesses said the shooter used a shotgun or a rifle, Troy police Lt. Gerry Scherlinck said. LaCalamita was listed among the professional staff on the Web site of Gordon Advisors, a public accounting and business consulting firm in the building.
World U.S. billionaire arrives at international space station KOROLYOV, Russia - Two Russian cosmonauts and a U.S. billionaire who helped develop Microsoft Word floated into the international space station early today - to the earthbound applause of Martha Stewart and others at Mission Control.
The lifestyle guru was among Russian and American officials and visitors monitoring the docking at Russian Mission Control, on Moscow's outskirts, as onboard TV cameras showed the Soyuz nearing the station and then jerking to a stop. Stewart is a friend of Charles Simonyi, the American who shelled out $20 million-$25 million to be the world's fifth paying private space traveler.
The Soyuz capsule docked automatically with the ISS, and Simonyi and two Russian cosmonauts entered the space station about 90 minutes later. Simonyi returns to Earth on April 20, along with Russian Mikhail Tyurin and the American astronaut Miguel Lopez-Alegria, who have been on the station since September.
Clerics irked at hug, want female tourist chief fired ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Islamic clerics at a radical mosque in Pakistan's capital have demanded the tourism minister be fired for hugging a foreign man, saying she committed a "great sin." Minister of Tourism Nilofar Bakhtiar rejected the Taliban-style edict Monday and said her family and friends were concerned for her safety. Two clerics at Islamabad's Red Mosque demanded her dismissal Sunday, two days after setting up a court to deliver Islamic justice in a bold challenge to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, a U.S. ally who has promised to promote moderate Islam. Photos in the Pakistani media have shown Bakhtiar being helped by a male instructor during a charity parachute jump in France last month to raise money for victims of the devastating October 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. Another picture shows a woman - apparently Bakhtiar - hugging the instructor.
