Midday Roundup: Suspect in slaying of pastor's wife caught on camera

Indy manhunt. Police in Indianapolis say they have security camera footage of the man they think shot and killed a pastor's wife last week. They believe the man first broke into a house several doors down from Davey and Amanda Blackburn’s home and saw an opportunity for another burglary after Davey left to go to the gym. Amanda Blackburn, who was 12 weeks pregnant, died of a single gunshot wound to the head. Her 15-month-old son was in his crib upstairs, unharmed. Indianapolis Maj. Eric Hench warned the suspect he could not hide for long: “You left behind evidence. ... We will find you, and we will not stop until we get you.” Investigators have not ruled out the possibility of several suspects in the murder, noting the house showed no signs of forced entry.

Off the case. The Utah juvenile court judge who drew a firestorm of criticism last week for ordering a baby girl removed from the home of her lesbian foster parents has removed himself from the case. Judge Scott Johansen ordered the 9-month-old removed from the home of Beckie Peirce and April Hoagland, citing research studies showing children do better with a mother and father. The Utah Division of Child and Family Services protested, as did the state’s Republican governor. Because the court records are sealed, it’s not clear what other issues might have been at play in the case. But on Monday, Johansen agreed to a request from Peirce and Hoagland that he recuse himself from future proceedings. He had set a hearing for December to determine the child’s best interests.

Environmental embarrassment. The Senate is expected to vote this week on a resolution opposing President Barack Obama’s new climate regulations for power plants. The vote comes just ahead of a United Nations-sponsored climate change conference in Paris. The resolution could potentially embarrass the president at the meetings in Paris, signaling the lack of support in Congress for his proposed global emissions cuts. Earlier this year, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the regulations would strike a blow to the economy and the middle class by sending jobs overseas and making it harder to maintain reliable sources of energy. He also said the regulations could be environmentally harmful by outsourcing energy production to countries with poorer environmental records like India and China. And the Paris talks are expected to result in a plan to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, with Obama’s power-plant regulations a key part of the U.S. commitment to any global pact.

Weapons theft. The FBI is investigating a weekend theft of more than a dozen military weapons at an Army Reserve center. Sometime Saturday night, six semi-automatic rifles, 10 pistols, and several other weapons were stolen from a locker at the Lincoln Army Reserve Center in Worcester, Mass. After Friday’s terror attacks in Paris, military investigators are putting extra resources into finding the culprits—though they say there’s no evidence the events are linked. The FBI has alerted local and state law enforcement to be on the lookout for the missing weapons.

Support for immigrants. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said Sunday he supports a pathway for people in the U.S. illegally to gain legal status. “That’s been what I’ve proposed in the past,” he said on 60 Minutes. “As a way to make amends with the law, effectively go on probation, and earn your way to legal status but not to citizenship.” Ryan rejected GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of people in the United States illegally. When asked whether that would happen, Ryan said, “I can’t imagine how it could happen, so no.”
