Child pedestrian injured in Grand Forks hit-and-run Monday morning
Chief Rodney Clark told the Herald he believed the child was walking to school at the time of the collision, which occurred around 8 a.m. Monday, March 24.
When a UND police officer arrived on scene, he worked to control bleeding from the child's head, Clark said. Paramedics then arrived and transported the child to Altru Hospital.
Clark said he was unaware of the child's condition as of Monday afternoon.
"I don't know any more (beyond) that, except that he was awake and conscious and everything like that, so it appears to be non-life threatening injuries," Clark said.
The UND Police Department has identified a driver of a vehicle matching the description of the alleged hit-and-run vehicle — a 2008 to 2018 silver or gray Ram 1500, according to a UNDPD Facebook post.
Police have spoken with the driver and the police department continues its investigation, Clark said. No one has been charged.
Anyone who has information or may have witnessed the incident is encouraged to contact UND police either by phone at (701) 777-3491, email at und.police@und.edu or by sending a message on Facebook.

Stockton man thrust into national spotlight after fatal collision in Florida
Aug. 20—A long-haul truck driver accused of killing three people in a Florida traffic collision was arrested in San Joaquin County over the weekend. Newsweek reported on Monday that 28-year-old Stockton resident Harjinder Singh was arrested by U.S. Marshals on suspicion of three counts of vehicular homicide. He was booked into San Joaquin County Jail on Saturday, and appeared for arraignment Tuesday, according to inmate records. The Miami Herald reported that the Aug. 12 crash occurred when Singh attempted to make a U-turn in his 18-wheeler at an "official use only" area of the Florida Turnpike 19 miles north of Fort Pierce. The truck was blocking all the northbound lanes as a 2015 black Chrysler Town & Country minivan approached in the middle lane and slammed into the 18-wheeler, killing its three occupants. Two passengers in the minivan — a 37-year-old woman from Pompano Beach and a 54-year-old man from Miami — died at the scene. The driver, a 30-year-old man from Florida City, later died at a hospital, according to the Herald. Neither Singh or as his passenger, 25-year-old Harneet Singh of Yuba City, were injured in the collision. The pair flew to Sacramento on Aug. 13, as law enforcement does not make an arrest at the scene of vehicle crashes, the Herald reported. Vehicular homicide is punishable by as much as 15 years in prison in that state. According to Newsweek, federal immigration authorities have issued a detainer which could lead to deportation proceedings once the criminal case is concluded, reports state. In his monthly address to the public posted on social media, San Joaquin County Sheriff Pat Withrow said he was not able to hold Singh, an undocumented immigrant, on an ICE hold due to California law. "He's from out of the country, and he's here illegally, but California does not allow me to honor the ICE hold because he has committed no prior crimes," Withrow said. "We don't know if this was gross negligence or an intentional act." The Florida Highway Patrol told the Herald that Singh, who has a commercial driver's license in California, entered the United States illegally in 2018 through the Mexican border. It's unclear how he obtained a commercial driver's license, as California law requires applicants to show proof they are in the U.S. legally, among other requirements, according to the California Commercial Driver's Handbook. California's AB 60 allows undocumented immigrants to apply for a driver's license if they can provide proof of identity and residency. These licenses are marked "not for federal identification." Singh had been linked online to a 2019 crash in Arkansas that destroyed a historic bridge, but officials confirmed to Newsweek Monday he wasn't involved in that accident. That driver, also named Harjinder Singh, was fired by the US Citylink Corporation following the crash, reports state. News of the Florida crash went national, the Herald reported, with Singh being at the center of several social media posts by the Trump administration on Sunday and Monday, prompting a response from Gov. Gavin Newsom. In one post, Newsom's press office said the federal government issued Singh an employment authorization document during Trump's first term, which allows foreign nationals to work legally in the U.S. In response, Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, said Singh's work authorization was rejected in 2020 while Trump was in office and approved the following year under the Biden administration, the Herald reported. San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas filed a petition for a fugitive warrant against Singh on Tuesday. Singh agreed to waive extradition and awaiting transport to Florida. "Public safety depends on strong collaboration between states," Freitas said. "Our office has fulfilled its role in this matter, and Harjinder Singh will now face consequences in Florida."

A Georgia jury convicted 55-year-old Cheryl Coe on murder and aggravated assault charges in the 2021 shooting death of her husband. Coweta County Sheriff's Office Why It Matters Text messages between the couple were shown in court. The messages appeared to show a disagreement between the two over the terms of their open marriage, according to The Newnan Times-Herald. Cheryl asked Luke for permission to see another man. Luke asked if Cheryl planned to see a second man that same day. Cheryl said she could and ended the message with "lol," standing for laughing out loud. Luke said the response "turned his stomach." Cheryl asked Luke if he wanted to end the open marriage, but he disagreed. What To Know The Coweta County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence on Tommy Lee Cook Road in Newnan on June 23, 2021, after Cheryl called 911 to report that she had accidentally shot her husband. Officials found Luke in a bedroom of the home. He was alive and first aid was rendered before he was pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff's office said investigators determined that the gunshot was not accidental. Cheryl was then taken into custody and charged. During interviews with a detective, Cheryl said she had been drinking four or five hard ciders, took Klonopin and went to bed around 7:15 p.m., The Newnan Times-Herald reported. She said she woke up when the bedroom door opened. Cheryl said she was unable to identify the individual, and she reached for her firearm before firing two shots, according to the outlet. Cheryl later said she knew her husband had stormed into the room, and he attempted to drag her from the bed. She said she was trying to scare him off, and she did not mean to hit him. A medical examiner said the victim had muzzle compressions around the bullet wound, indicating that the barrel of a gun had been pressed into his body. What People Are Saying Prosecutor Laura Lukert, in a closing statement: "She is the most unreliable of narrators. The only consistency we have is that that woman shot Luther Coe." Defense attorney Thomas Mondelli, in a closing statement: "Fear is not malice. She acted out of fear." What Happens Next Coe will serve a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Family of CAU alumna to file lawsuit against Los Angeles college where she was shot, killed
The family of a woman who was shot and killed by a security guard on the campus of Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in Los Angeles in May is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the school, the shooting suspect, and other parties. Police say Dr. Cameisha Clark, a graduate of Clark Atlanta University, who had recently been promoted to Interim Dean of Student Affairs at Spartan College, was attacked in the college's administrative offices on May 2 by campus security guard Jesse Figueroa. Police say Figueroa shot Clark and a co-worker with a handgun. Figueroa ran after the shooting but was captured by police hours later. Clark was taken to a hospital, where she died from her injuries. Her co-worker survived the shooting. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Figueroa has been charged with murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm with prior violent convictions, and possession of a firearm by a felon with prior convictions. The family's complaint alleges that neither Spartan College nor the security company they hired did a background check that would have revealed Figueroa's criminal history. Clark's family says Figueroa's security guard license had expired nearly 14 years earlier, and neither the school nor the security company checked his license.
