Howard University: Student brought gun to campus Health Center

WASHINGTON — A Howard University student was arrested Wednesday, after officials say he brought a gun to the university’s Health Center.

The incident happened around 4 p.m.

A spokesperson for Howard University says an employee discovered the gun during an exam, and notified authorities immediately.

At this time, there is no word on why the student had a gun. D.C. police say since the gun wasn’t used to commit a crime, the student is being charged with possession.

Fired opinion writer still waiting for call from Washington Post after arbitrator ordered reinstatement, back pay

Several days after an arbitrator ordered the Washington Post to reinstate fired opinion writer Karen Attiah, she told СÂÜÀòÓ°ÊÓ she's still hasn't gotten a phone call about returning to work. "I'm waiting to hear from the Washington Post as of this morning," Attiah said. "I'm willing to go back to the work that I was doing as a columnist and as a writer particularly focused on race, gender and international rights." A Thursday ruling by arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said the newspaper did not have sufficient cause to fire Attiah over social media posts about violent white men following last year's killing of Charlie Kirk, and ordered the Post to award Attiah full back pay and lost benefits. "So, the Washington Post has its marching orders, let's see if they follow them," said Attiah, who described her reaction to arbitrator's ruling as "vindicated, slightly tired, really happy about the decision and reinstatement, plus back pay, of course."
