Virginia bus crash claims five, including wedding-bound family; driver charged

A motorcoach crash on Interstate 95 in Virginia killed five people, including Dmitri Doncev and Ecaterina Doncev and their two children traveling from Massachusetts to a South Carolina wedding with desserts; the bus driver, Jing S. Dong, 38, was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter as the NTSB investigates speed and crash dynamics. Priscilla Mafalda of Massachusetts also died, and several others were injured. The Doncev family had emigrated from Moldova and were en route to celebrate the wedding; the event will proceed as planned.

Michigan Supreme Court Denies Crumbley Case Appeal

The Michigan Supreme Court has refused to hear the case of James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of the Oxford school shooter. The couple is facing involuntary manslaughter charges for allegedly buying their son the gun used in the massacre and failing to inform the school about his troubling behavior. The decision allows the unprecedented charges against the parents to stand, making them the first parents in America charged in a mass school shooting. The Crumbleys could still plead guilty in exchange for potential leniency, but the prosecution would have to agree. The judge would have the final say.

Alec Baldwin back on 'Rust' set after charges dropped.

Alec Baldwin returned to the set of the western film "Rust" in Montana, more than a year after a gun he was rehearsing with on set went off, killing its cinematographer. Prosecutors in New Mexico filed court papers formally dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges he had been facing, at least for now, due to new evidence suggesting that the gun had been modified without his knowledge. The film's original armorer still faces involuntary manslaughter charges, and Baldwin still faces several civil suits. The revived production of "Rust" is going ahead with the support of the late cinematographer's widower, and the film's newly hired armorer adjusted the leather bandolier fitted onto the actor.

Alec Baldwin cleared of charges in 'Rust' shooting case.

Involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin in the Rust shooting case have been dropped by special prosecutors in New Mexico due to new facts that demand further investigation and forensic analysis. However, the decision does not absolve Baldwin of criminal culpability, and charges may be refiled. The charges against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer who worked on Rust, remain unchanged. The shooting resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the wounding of Rust director Joel Souza.
