2. Police in Wisconsin say they’ve arrested the man suspected of stealing guns and sending President Donald Trump 2 a manifesto 3 with plans to launch attacks. Police found him in a town in southwestern Wisconsin. He was arrested without incident.
3. And in Las Vegas, flames ripped across the roof of the iconic Bellagio hotel-Casino. Gusty 4 winds fanned the fire, forcing evacuations inside shops in the mall. There were no injuries reported.
4. It’s a bird, it’s a plane. No, it’s marshmallows falling from the sky. Kids in Trenton, Michigan scrambled 5 to snatch up the gooey treats at the city’s annual marshmallow drop. The kids were told not to eat the marshmallows, however, because they fell on the ground.
