Yesterday, commanders say they don’t believe the remains have anything to do with the nearly 13 thousand Afghan refugees staying at the fort, or any of the soldiers who serve there. There’s no word just how old the remains are. The FBI is working with the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office to identify the remains.

Grosskreutz says it wasn’t until Rittenhouse saw his gun that Rittenhouse fired. Grosskreutz was wounded in the bicep. Rittenhouse’s lawyers have maintained since last summer that this is a case

Kids in Green Bay public schools may no longer be sent home just for coming into close contact with someone who’s tested positive for the coronavirus. The city’s school board last night said it will talk about changing its coronavirus protocols. Currently, students in close contact with someone who tests positive are sent home for up to ten days. School board president Eric Vanden Heuvel says just 86 students are in isolation because of the virus, but he said over
