North Carolina judges side with GOP lawmakers for who gets say on highway patrol commander
RALEIGH, N.C. — A panel of North Carolina judges dismissed one of Democratic Gov. Josh Stein's cases against Republican legislative leaders Monday, upholding part of a power-shifting law that prevents Stein from selecting the State Highway Patrol commander.
Three Wake County Civil Superior Court judges made the decision unanimously. The judges' decision means that the dispute won't go to trial, but it can be appealed.

Children of Melissa and Mark Hortman issue message following fatal shooting
Sophie and Colin Hortman are responding to the fatal shooting of their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman. In a written statement released Monday night, Sophie and Colin Hortman said they're "devastated and heartbroken." "They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone," the statement said. "Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much." Melissa and Mark Hortman were shot and killed Saturday night in their Brooklyn Park home, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot and injured in what Gov. Tim Walz has called politically motivated shootings. A manhunt for the suspect, 57-year-old Vance Boelter, lasted for over 36 hours. He was taken into custody on Sunday night in Sibley County. Sophie and Colin Hartman in the statement thanked law enforcement for their "swift action that saved others." "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them," the statement said. The message also listed different ways people can honor the memory of Melissa and Mark Hoffman, including planting a tree, visiting a local park, petting a dog, telling a cheesy joke to loved ones, baking something, trying a new hobby and "standing up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace." Boelter faces six federal charges and four state charges. Yvette Hoffman said her husband was shot nine times and she was shot eight times. Both underwent surgery following the incident. "Our family is so humbled by the love and outpouring from everyone," Yvette Hoffman said in a text message to U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Sunday.
