3 injured in shooting, fight at Lone Star College in Houston
Three people, including a maintenance man who was accidentally shot and two people who were fighting each other, were injured during fight at Lone Star College campus in Houston, Texas, officials say
Fourth person also sent to hospital with medical condition, officials say
It's not immediately clear whether one or two people fired shots, or how the two "persons of interest" were injured
Below are updates as they came to us; full story here. Also, check out CNN affiliates KHOU, KPRC and KTRK
[Updated at 6:08 p.m. ET] "We don't know exactly if she had a heart attack or a stroke," Harris County sheriff's spokeswoman Christina Garza says of the female who was hospitalized with an unspecified medical condition.
[Updated at 5:44 p.m. ET] According to officials at a news conference, four people were taken to hospitals - three who were injured and one who suffered an unspecified medical condition - but the account of who they were differs from information we received earlier.
One person - a school maintenance worker - was accidentally shot during an altercation between two other people, Harris County sheriff's Maj. Armando Tello said. That man was shot in the leg, is in his mid-50s, and is in stable condition, said Richard Carpenter, chancellor for the Lone Star College system.
The two "persons of interest" suspected of fighting each other also were injured, Tello said. Tello did not say how they were injured.
Tello also said one handgun was involved in the incident. When asked whether only one person was armed, Tello said he didn't know. Earlier, a school spokesman had said two gunmen were involved in the incident.
Also, a fourth person - a female who has a student ID - was taken to a hospital with some sort of medical condition, Tello said. Earlier, a federal law enforcement source told CNN that someone had suffered a heart attack.
Carpenter said the fight happened in a courtyard area between two buildings. That seems to mesh with what a law enforcement source said earlier about the incident happening in an outside area between a library and a cafeteria.
[Updated at 4:52 p.m. ET] A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation says the shooting appears to have taken place in an outside area between a library and a cafeteria, CNN's Carol Cratty reports.
[Updated at 4:30 p.m. ET] Two suspects are now in custody, CNN affiliates KHOU and KTRK reported. CNN has not yet independently confirmed this information.
Authorities are expected to conduct a news conference at about 5 p.m. ET.
[Updated at 4:03 p.m. ET] Police believe the second suspect fled into woods nearby, a law enforcement source briefed by officers on the scene told CNN.
Authorities are focusing their search on the wooded area, which is adjacent to George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the source said.
[Updated at 3:59 p.m. ET] An unidentified Lone Star College student who says she witnessed some of the shooting told CNN affiliate KHOU that an argument between two people preceded the gunfire.
A gunman, she said, told someone: "I don't want to fight you; I'm not trying to go to jail."
The witness appeared to reference only one gunman; it wasn't clear whether she saw a second gunman. She said he "actually turned away from the situation" at first but eventually pulled a gun out of a backpack. She said she heard about nine shots.
"I think it was a bunch of crap that could've been resolved and never should have gone that far," the witness said.
[Updated at 3:23 p.m. ET] Texas Gov. Rick Perry is being briefed about the situation by law enforcement personnel, Perry spokesman Josh Havens said.
"(Perry's) thoughts and prayers are with those that have been impacted," Havens said. "We have nothing more to add at this point, but the governor will continue to closely monitor the situation."
[Updated at 3:17 p.m. ET] A freshman who was in a nearby classroom, Amanda Vasquez, tells CNN's Brooke Baldwin that she heard about six shots. She says she heard from other people that some shooting happened in a library, but she believes that the gunshots she heard came not from the library, but from the hallway outside her class.
"I was in the academic building, waiting for English class to start. I heard about six shots, and kids started rushing down the hallway. A few came into our class. It really happened so fast," she said.
She said people were shouting, and she hid under a table in a corner of the classroom. She called her mother.
"I called my mom to (let her know) I was OK (and that) I loved her, just in case anything was going to happen," Vasquez said. "... At first she didn't believe me ... but I kept telling her it's happening and need you to call the cops."
[Updated at 3:06 p.m. ET] Someone - a fourth person - suffered a heart attack, according to a federal law enforcement source who is receiving reports from the scene, CNN's Carol Cratty reports.
So, recapping what we've been told:
- Three people, including a gunman, were wounded in a shooting between two people on the North Harris campus of Lone Star College in Houston, school spokesman Jed Young said.
- The second gunman is on the loose but not believed to be on campus, Young said.
- A fourth person suffered a heart attack, according to the federal law enforcement source.
- The shooting happened at a campus library, the federal law enforcement source says.
- No deaths have been reported.
[Updated at 2:54 p.m. ET] Two wounded people have been taken to surgery at Ben Taub Hospital and are in "relatively serious condition," CNN affiliate KTRK reported. They were conscious when they arrived at the hospital, KTRK reported.
[Updated at 2:43 p.m. ET] Three people - one suspected shooter and two people caught in a "crossfire" - were wounded in a shooting that appears to have been between two people at the Lone Star College campus in Houston, school spokesman Jed Young said.
The wounded suspect is in custody, and the second gunman is on the loose but not believed to be on campus, Young said.
Authorities believe the school is "under control, but the school is still being evacuated," Young said.
Young said he doesn't know the conditions of the wounded. He said the shooting - apparently between two gunmen - was reported at about 12:31 p.m. CT.
Two apparently unintended targets were shot in a "crossfire," he said.
[Updated at 2:28 p.m. ET] The FBI and ATF have sent agents to assist local authorities, according to Shauna Dunlop with FBI Houston and Franceska Perot with ATF Houston.
[Updated at 2:27 p.m. ET] A witness told CNN affiliate KPRC that she hid underneath her desk while she heard five or six gunshots at Lone Star College.
[Updated at 2:26 p.m. ET] One person has been transported to Houston Northwest Medical Center, according to spokeswoman Ashley Walton.
She would not give any further details about the patient.
[Updated at 2:14 p.m. ET] Students were filing out of what CNN affiliate KHOU reports is the library on campus.
[Updated at 2:10 p.m. ET] Video from CNN affiliate KPRC shows law enforcement personnel herding people from one part of the campus to another.
[Updated at 2:02 p.m. ET] Students at a Lone Star College campus in Houston have been asked to take shelter after reports of a gunman on campus, a school spokesman said.
More than 10,000 students are at the North Harris campus of Lone Star College, spokesman Jed Young said.
[Initial post, 1:50 p.m. ET] A shooting has been reported at a Lone Star College campus in Houston, Texas, CNN affiliates KTRK and KPRC reported.
Footage from KPRC showed a large number of law enforcement personnel on campus, and at least two people being wheeled on gurneys toward ambulances.
This story is developing. We'll post more details as we get them.

Dear CNN News, I challenge you to focus on the VICTIMS while reporting on this new shooting and stop focusing on the shooter. STOP giving the gunmen their 15 minutes of fame and lets focus on the victims and their families. Empathy may help this country come together and realize that social changes are needed to stop these tragedies. I'm not just talking about gun laws but about the physical and mental healthcare options available to our citizens.

While I'm all for empathy, seems like people don't want to be empathetic...they want to find "clues" that it's all a government set up to "terk er guns away!!" – I mean, there is a whole group of people who think Newtown was staged and people were paid off.

the way Texas is allowing a caveman style way of life, all its residents will shoot eachother to death till there is no soul lfet!!!!

Sounds like a shootout at the ok corral in texas.

Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people. So lets keep guns away from people. The second amendment stated the citizens needed guns for the militia, to fight off enemies. ( Britian of course) Now we have armed forces AND the national guard. I think that pretty much covers the militia thing.
The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpation of power by rulers" -Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (appointed by President Madison in 1811)
repeal the 2nd amendment!
00tact
Why not repeal them all while we're at it.
Nunuv
Aren't guns banned on campuses?
gang related. this wont be news pretty soon. "any white people dead?" no... ok pack it up, were going home.
Yeah, that was great.
Pretty sure Texas is proud of letting people carry guns on campus. In fact, they were bragging about it during the Newton shooting – our teachers can carry guns to school.
They need to stop putting stories like these on the news because every Crazed, Demented, Deranged, Lunatic, Paranoid, Psychopathic person out there having a bad day thinks this is now the norm...
Jenvn
Seriously ? The answer is to not talk about it and pretend this isn't happening?
So....this should not be news because it will cause more people to do this? What kind of sense does that make?
It's becoming the norm, Jim.
jdoe
Sure, news networks should stop reporting news.
Jim, quit picking on the mentally ill (NRA leadership).
so the news should stop reporting the news?
Weirdoes on the loose!
Probably another weird looking demented kid….like the kid from CT shooting.
Nunya
I know right? There was this earthquake in the news and I heard a day later this mentally deranged guy started an earthquake too.
Indeed they should stop putting it on the news. It popularizes violence exactly and gives too many people too wrong of ideas, you know...
J.T.
Yet another tragedy the NRA will seek to capitalize on with a renewed cry for more guns. Insanity has come to America and taken root.
dplandry
You mean like obama capitalized on the dead children in CT?
I suspect they'll ignore it as it doesn't suit the agenda. Seems that having open carry laws and more guns in this case didn't prevent a shooting from occurring.
yes and conspiracy theorist will say the guns are like cars in transformers. they are mind controlling people to use them to shoot people.
I think the media and the liberals have used these tragedies to push thru their agenda before the blood is dry.
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The NRA has nothing to do with dumb people shooting each other for no reason any more than the WWE has to do with 2 people getting into a bar fight.
You really have no idea what you're talking about, the overwhelming majority of LEGAL gun owners are good people. Maybe if we spent more time trying to fight illegal gun trafficing, inner city crime, and take better care of the f'ed up kids instead of just loading them with anti-depressants that make them suicidal.
once again another gun loving right wing state has a shoot out...how many more of these need to happpen before people realize there's nothing wrong with regulating and controlling the ownership of guns. I do think we should have the right to own A gun to protect our home or go hunting with but the amount of and type of guns people are getting a hold of is just riduculous.
Adding more guns only means more deaths either on purpose or accident. Stop the Madness!
if you want to stop the madness then shut your mouth. You are clueless. We are number one in the world by far in gun ownership, but 28th in the world in gun violence. Gun crime is down 49% the last 20 years and violent crime is down 21% overall. The media can take a couple shootings and turn it into an epidemic. Your rage is unjustified and illogical, the facts say so. Quit being manipulated by the TV and media.
Margaret Grey
You mean "another" right-wing gun-loving state like Colorado? Connecticut? Oh wait, both of those happened in "gun-free" zones. How about "strictest gun control laws in the nation" Chicago, 500+ murders per year! Stop the stupidity!
Connecticut isnt a gun loving state it has some of the strictest gun control laws in america.
Yeah, just like that right-wing state of Connecticut. (sandy hook). Colorado (Aurora and Columbine). California (and day in L.A.)... get over yourself and your delusions.
Yea ok
Just FYI, Connecticut, the location of the Sandy Hook shooting, is FAR from a gun loving state. In fact, CT is one of the most stringent states when it comes to gun control. This happens everywhere regardless of gun laws or severity of them. Crazy people are going to be crazy. Period
K Mack
FBI crime statistics show that since 1990, while guns in America have INCREASED by the millions, MILLIONS, gun deaths, violent crime and murder rates have dropped steadily to HALF the rate of the nineties and before. Our own Government data proves that more guns DOES NOT equal more gun violence. That does not mean that more guns equal less. There are lots of factors. But one undeniable fact is that more guns, by the 100's of milions, has NOT lead to any increase, in fact the opposite has occured. I'm not staking a position for or against, just posting honest facts that media ignores. The data is readily available for anyone to search. Just google gun violence and fbi statistics. It is there in black and white.
organically
America – More guns per capita than any other country, and more gun injuries and deaths than any other country. What are gun owners so afraid of?
Mayberry No More
Check your statistics bub.. your statement is completely incorrect and you are providing false information based upon what source?
Sadly, each other 😦
progun and proud of it
Apart from Switzerland that is.
His statement is completely correct, I also read more than one article about it. I think you are the one to need to check the studies.
LIAR!!! US is number one in gun ownership by far, but 28th in the world in gun crime! Morons! Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico have BY FAR more gun crime per capita than the US. The US gun crime rate is actually very low per 100,000 people.
Mrs.T
In my experience the legal owners of guns are not affraid. We are well trained most certifed in concealed carry and I personally have never felt safer!
Witness said shooter is a black male. Greenspoint Area in Houston AKA Notorious Gunspoint Houston. Do the arithmetic..
taylor dee
white boys need some serious help and above all they need JESUS. what did their mother teach them . stop blaming black males for all evil and look at your own sick culture. repent and pray for all
Even if the government were to ban and confiscate every type, caliber, color or shape of gun....there will still be gun violence on the streets. True, the # of 15-18 year olds killing their families or classmates may dip. But do you really think that the gang violence (which is where 95- 99% of gun fatalities come from) will stop? Or are you ok with "those" people killing each other??
I guess as long as it doesn't affect you directly, it's ok...that is the Liberal way of thinking after all??
marsally
Please stop with the liberal label on everything. I'm as conservative as they come but still believe that some gun control is necessary.
Can't tell if that was sarcasm but that is the exact opposite of the liberal way of thinking... by definition liberal thinking wants the government to act in the interest of more than just themselves (i.e. they advocate a LIBERAL use of government services).

The New Low-Cost Airlines Offering Cheap Flights This Summer
Most airfares are on the rise, but these two carriers are offering flights for as little as $39 one-way.
By Jessica Puckett
If you've booked any travel this summer, one thing has probably been glaringly obvious: Cheap flights, which once were plentiful at the height of the pandemic, are now nearly impossible to find.
But deal hunters shouldn't lose hope just yet—there are a few options to find inexpensive summer fares, if you look with the right carriers. Two upstart low-cost airlines in the U.S. are offering tickets at rock-bottom prices: Avelo Airlines and Breeze Airways.
Launching in April with a base in Burbank, California, budget carrier Avelo's introductory fares were initially as low as $19 one-way. Its cheapest ticket prices have since inched up to $39 for one-way nonstop flights to tourist-favorite locales in the West, like Las Vegas, Sonoma wine country, and Bozeman, Montana.
Breeze, which launched at the end of May, also has affordable summer fares—starting at about $47 one-way. Its route map is focused on the eastern and southern U.S., with cities like Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans; and San Antonio, Texas, among its initial 16 destinations.
For anyone who has scoured airline deal websites lately, those prices might sound almost too good to be true. Indeed, the fares are well below the market average. According to analysis from Cowen investment bank, the average domestic airfare offered by Delta, United, and American for the week of July 12 was $305 one-way.
So how can two newcomers like Avelo and Breeze offer such cheap flights?
"When you're small and just starting, you have some real big advantages [to cost savings]," says Avelo's founder and CEO Andrew Levy. Some costs, according to Levy, have actually been easier to cut while launching the airline during the pandemic. Avelo's fleet of used Boeing 737 planes were cheaper, for instance, and there's been less competition for entry level crew members, including pilots, flight attendants, and other workers, he says.
The savings also apply to building Avelo's schedule. "There is availability in airports where there wasn't [pre-pandemic]," Levy says. "It would have been difficult to get into Burbank and construct whatever schedule we want. It just would have been either really difficult or impractical because of having to work around other airlines."
Smaller airports—and flying routes that aren't currently served by other airlines—are key to Avelo's business model and to pass savings on to fliers. "These small airports for example, they're much less expensive to operate in," Levy says. "But there are some indirect benefits, too, if you think about the taxi times that we have, it's just fundamentally different." Less time on the tarmac means a more efficient schedule, which saves money, as does bringing each plane home every night, according to Levy.
Breeze is also following a similar tactic, operating nonstop flights out of secondary cities like Pittsburgh; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Providence, Rhode Island. All its routes are two hours or shorter and are "underserved" by other carriers, according to Breeze founder and CEO David Neeleman. "A staggering 95 percent of Breeze routes currently have no airline serving them nonstop," Neeleman said in a statement in May.
In the wake of the pandemic, there's plenty of room for Breeze to grow using that strategy. "The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation's air service has meant many secondary markets and smaller cities have seen a significant reduction in flights," Neeleman said. "There are so many city pairs needing nonstop service around the country, we have a further 100 cities under consideration."
Another way to cut costs? Offer a simple product. "Being everything to everybody—having a first-class cabin, and flying here, there and everywhere and lots of flights, and clubs, and loyalty, and all of that kind of stuff—that all costs a lot of money," Levy says. By contrast, Avelo offers an all-economy cabin and no frequent flier miles.
Breeze, on the other hand, has a basic loyalty program—called BreezePoints—and plans to offer a premium cabin in the fall when it begins receiving of the first of 60 brand new Airbus A220 jets it has on order. (Through the summer, the budget carrier is operating 13 single-class Embraer jets that seat up to 118 passengers.)
Of course a major reason why low-cost airlines can offer cheap fares is because they charge extra fees for services like seat selection. But both Avelo and Breeze are offering a more customer friendly version of such upcharges. On Avelo, the first checked bag starts at just $10—one of the cheapest in the industry. Other perks for purchase include priority boarding for $10, seat selection starting at $5, and the option to bring along a pet for $95. Breeze's ancillary services include a $10 seat selection fee, and a $20 bag fee for both checked and carryon luggage.
If Avelo or Breeze don't fly from your home city, there are still ways you might be able to suss out cheap fares before the fall. Southwest is currently offering a flash sale on one-way fares for travel from August to December as low as $59 one-way. And in their study, the Cowen analysts noted that other low-cost carriers like Sun Country, Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant have all expanded during the pandemic.
While some of those low-cost carriers have a reputation for bare bones service, Levy says Avelo will differentiate itself by focusing on having crew who are "caring and kind" and who will "take care of customers." According to Levy, the airline plans to "compete by offering something that's different."

Junior Emily Clemens helped Western Illinois to a pair of wins while averaging 20.5 points and six assists.
Junior guard Emily Clemens helped Western Illinois move into a tie for second place in The Summit League standings after going 2-0 last week with wins over Oral Roberts and Omaha. Her 21 points, four assists and zero turnovers helped guide the Leathernecks to a 76-62 victory at Oral Roberts on Feb. 1. That performance was followed up with 20 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals in the 80-63 home win against Omaha on Feb. 4.
Over the course of the week, Clemens averaged 20.5 points, 6.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 steals per contest.

Kao es un pequeño cráter de impacto lunar que se encuentra cerca del terminador oriental, cerca del borde sur del Mare Smythii, un mar lunar que continúa en la cara oculta. Este cráter se localiza al este-sureste del cráter Widmannstätten. A menos de un diámetro del cráter al norte-noreste aparece el pequeño cráter Tucker.

El cráter Kao forma parte de un pareja de cráteres combinados con Helmert al sur. Presenta una brecha donde se unen, y comparten un suelo común que ha sido reconfigurado por la lava. Su borde exterior forma poco más que un anillo somero en la superficie, especialmente bajo en el lado norte. No está marcado por impactos significativos. Sin embargo, un pequeño cráter aparece en el borde sureste, donde el brocal se une al de Helmert.

George Osborne has taken the surprise step of selling the Government's 80% share in Britain's biggest corporate loss-making machine. The Royal Bank of Scotland has been listed as a 'job lot' of toxic debt in 'fetching tartan', with a returns policy that 'guarantees' future multi-billion pound bailouts.
The auction closes in 10 days, but there are already three 'watchers' all of whom have been drawn to RBS's investment in fossil fuels, animal testing and general skulduggery. While he will accept PayPal, Mr. Osborne has said he would prefer cash in hand. Following his motto 'Don't bin it, 'bay it', the Chancellor has also listed other redundant items; such as 'Coalition promises', 'the hopes of EU reform' and one 'barely used' conscience.

This dinner was a year in the making.
Since attending our first pop-up dinner by Central Provisions last summer, we've been hoping to host one of their delicious events. Abby Olitzky & Steve Hall somehow make these thoughtful, elaborate meals seem effortless. They combine flavors and ingredients that simply force you to take pause (in the best possible way). We were beyond thrilled and honored to host Central Provisions' spring dinner last Saturday.
Beautiful! That menu made my mouth water – such a variety of vegetarian options! And the little touches…like the artichoke in the bouquet and the chalkboard!


That is what I usually think of when I hear the term wrath of God. I think of street preachers or tent revivalist who make a wonderful spectacle of telling people all the different types of sinners who deserve God's wrath. I think of conversations I had in college that poured over Romans 1 to show what kind of people are damned.
So I was very surprised when I read this verse and connected a few different dots.
God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodly behavior and the injustice of human beings who silence the truth with injustice.
God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him isn't judged; whoever doesn't believe in him is already judged, because they don't believe in the name of God's only Son. This is the basis for judgment: The light came into the world, and people loved darkness more than the light, for their actions are evil. All who do wicked things hate the light and don't come to the light for fear that their actions will be exposed to the light. Whoever does the truth comes to the light so that it can be seen that their actions were done in God.
So, taking these two together, the wrath of God is being revealed when we proclaim, not who is going to be damned, but who Jesus is. When we proclaim the Good News of victory over sin and death, salvation from sin and alienation, we reveal the wrath of God–without condemning people. The world is already condemned, and God has left himself with a witness to this (Romans 1). When we proclaim the redemption from that state in the power and presence of Christ in our lives, the Holy Spirit will convict people of sin (John 16:8).
It is not our duty or responsibility to tell people they are going to hell because of what they are doing. It is our duty and responsibility to share the Good News that God loves us and has delivered us from all that separates us from him.
The rest of the beginning of Romans shows that no one ought to judge anyone else because we are all in the same situation. This corresponds with Jesus' words above as well. If we, as Christians, have found a life-preserver to keep us from drowning, we ought not condemn others for not being able to tread water. We ought to offer the life-preserver.
The wrath of God is revealed in our souls by the Holy Spirit when Christians share the Good News of Jesus Christ, not condemnation. Let the Holy Spirit work in that fashion. It is his job, not ours.

Gravel Campaign Says Tulsi Gabbard Wants His Endorsement
Paul Blest
The presidential campaign of former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel was a plan masterminded by a high school student in New York to inject anti-imperialist politics into the 2020 campaign—especially the Democratic debates. Given that Gravel wasn't able to actually get into the debates, however, it appears at least one candidate with a similar following is looking for his endorsement.
According to Gravel campaign national press secretary Marlon Ettinger, the Gabbard campaign is "courting the endorsement" of Gravel, who previously ran for president in 2008. Ettinger told Splinter that the Gabbard campaign gave Gravel's team tickets to both debates in Detroit earlier this week. (Ettinger was not at the debates.)
Ettinger added, however, that he's spoken with other people in the campaign and "doesn't think an endorsement is forthcoming," although he noted he hadn't spoken with Gravel about Gabbard. Earlier this week, former Gravel staffer Kate Kohn told Splinter in a DM that while the campaign hasn't finalized an endorsement, "the Senator himself is a fan of Tulsi."
Ettinger also had choice words for Gabbard. "Personally I don't like Gabbard one bit, I think her anti-imperialism is phony, politically calculating, and not principled," he said in an email to Splinter. He added that Gravel "likes what he's seen of Gabbard, but I don't think he's seen much of who she actually is."
Gravel's campaign staff told ABC News yesterday that it would come to an end "in the next week or so," and that Gabbard was one of the names under consideration, along with Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and author Marianne Williamson. "Those are all names themselves we've come to appreciate during this primary campaign, and having seen their performances in the most recent debates, the Senator has great admiration for them and is considering throwing his support behind any number of them," treasurer Henry Magowan told ABC.
We've reached out to Gabbard's campaign for confirmation that they're courting Gravel's endorsement, and will update when and if we receive a response.
Gabbard, who endorsed Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2016 and resigned from her post at the Democratic National Committee in spectacular fashion before launching her own presidential bid this year, is an Iraq War veteran who was elected to Congress from Hawaii in 2012. While she's won support from some on the left for her opposition to regime change in Syria, she's been accused by others of being too close to Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, with whom she met with in 2017. She's also faced criticism for her support of Indian leader Narendra Modi, who was the governor of the Indian state of Gujarat in 2002 when nearly a thousand Muslims were killed in a pogrom.
Gabbard also has a highly questionable record on LGBTQ rights dating back to her upbringing and days as a state legislator in Hawaii, during which she called activists "homosexual extremists." Gabbard apologized for her anti-LGBTQ activism earlier this year, saying that she has changed her views.
During Thursday night's debate, Gabbard landed one of the biggest punches of the night in a sharp rebuke of Sen. Kamala Harris' record as a prosecutor. As of right now, however, Gabbard hasn't met the threshold for cracking the next round of presidential debates, which are set to be held in September.
Update, 5:30 p.m. ET: After the publication of this story, Gravel campaign manager David Oks DMed a statement to Splinter emphasizing that no decision had been made yet. "We are in touch with several campaigns that would like to speak to Mike about an endorsement," Oks said. "No decision has been made and no staff discussion has occurred. All comments by staff are made solely in their personal capacities."

Why scientific monitoring of the effects of industry on our priceless WA rock art is inadequate
The Burrup Peninsula, or Murujuga, contains over a million individual works of rock art by the Yaburara people.
John Black, University of Western Australia
Scientific studies used to monitor the impact of industry on Aboriginal rock art in north west Western Australia are inadequate, potentially exposing more than a million individual artworks to damage, according to a recent paper published by myself and co-authors in the journal Rock Art Research.
The rock art is located near the towns of Dampier and Karratha and is known as the Burrup Peninsula, or Murujuga. It is a priceless, irreplaceable, cultural and archaeological treasure. The peninsula is also home to industry including an iron ore export port, natural gas processing, liquefying and export facilities, an ammonia-urea fertiliser plant and most recently, an ammonium nitrate production facility for explosives.
The industry and port produce thousands of tonnes of acid-forming emissions each year, permitted under environmental regulations. The impact of these emissions has been monitored through several scientific studies, which claimed there was no consistent impact on the rock art.
However our paper shows that the four main studies cannot be used to monitor the impact of industry on the art due to methodological errors. For example, one study subjected rocks to acid-forming emissions and concluded that there was no consistent change in colour. But there were just not enough repeat measurements to gain any sensible conclusion about the effect of emissions on rock colour.
Another experiment examining the effects of varying acid and other chemical concentrations was conducted using iron ore, which has no relevance to the rocks on which the art is situated. Measurements of colour change between 2004 and 2014 were also made on the rock art and background rock at seven different sites. But the instruments used for measuring change in rock surface colour were designed for indoor use and were inappropriate for the highly variable, hot rock surfaces of Murujuga. Typically, instruments were located at only one place on the rock surface during a measurement each year and this was insufficient to represent the highly variable rock surface.
These studies form the basis for government regulation, which permits industry to release acid-forming emissions. While there is no conclusive evidence that industry emissions have damaged the rock art, recent measurements of the surface of rocks near industry by Dr Ian MacLeod, former Director of the Western Australian Maritime Museum, found acidity to have increased 1,000 times above pre-industrial levels.
We showed in another scientific paper published earlier this year that acid dissolves the outer surface layer of the rocks causing them to become thinner, lighter in colour and to flake away. Once the outer surface layer is removed, the rock art is lost.
The federal government is conducting a senate inquiry into the health of the Murujuga rock art, with a delayed final report due in late November. I argue that, at the very least, industry must install technology to reduce acid emissions and ammonium nitrate dust particles to virtually zero. Other rock art experts have called for a cessation of all industry on the peninsula in a recent editorial in Rock Art Research.
Priceless history
The Murujuga rock art captures over 45,000 years of human culture, activity and spiritual beliefs through ever changing environments from when the sea was more than 100 km from its current position and through the last ice age, 20,000 years ago.
The petroglyphs include some of the oldest known representations of the human face in the world. There are images of extinct mammals including megafauna, the fat-tailed kangaroo and thylacine. There are elaborate geometric designs that could have been used for navigation or an early form of mathematics. There are many depictions of hunting and cultural ceremonies as well as existing animals, birds and sea creatures.
Artwork depicting a thylacine, a species which has been extinct in the Pilbarra for 3,000 years.
Friends of Australian Rock Art
The Murujuga inhabitants created this rock art until February 1868, when virtually the entire Yaburara indigenous population was exterminated in a massacre.
Massacre of the Yaburara, only three years after European settlement in 1865, has deprived us from knowing the storylines and cultural meaning of the petroglyphs. Equally significantly, the massacre broke continuous inhabitation of the area, which has allowed successive Western Australian governments to develop in the midst of the rock art one of the largest industrial complexes in the Southern Hemisphere.
Industry and art
Construction of the industries is estimated by archaeologists working on Murujuga to have resulted in the destruction of over 30,000 petroglyphs through removal and physical damage. Atmospheric emissions from the industries are immense.
Dampier port, which is adjacent to the petroglyphs, is one of the busiest bulk-ports in the world with over 19,000 ship movements each year. These ships burn high sulphur bunker fuel, with one ship emitting as much as 5,000 tonnes of sulphur dioxide per year.
The gas and fertiliser plants emit around 34,000 tonnes of acid forming compounds into the air each year. The recent starting up of the ammonium nitrate plant revealed a huge yellow-orange cloud of nitrogen dioxide with concentrations of over 1,000 parts per million. The emission of nitrogen dioxide from the plant will occur around six times each year, whenever certain industrial chemicals needed for ammonium nitrate production require replacing.
These emissions are permitted under state and federal environmental regulation. Both nitrogen and sulphur dioxide react with water to form acids which are deposited on the rock surfaces.
The construction of the LNG facility in 2008.
Extraordinary origins
The rock art at Murujuga is threatened by acid because of its unique geological properties. The natural blue-grey rock, formed from cooling magma, weathers very slowly to form a yellow coloured weathering rind, which may grow by 5 mm in 30,000 years.
The yellow coloured rind is covered with a dark brown-black coating called a patina or rock varnish. The petroglyphs were formed by using hard pieces of rock to break through the patina and expose the rind.
This patina is an extraordinary substance. It is formed by specialised bacteria and fungi on the rock surface, where there is seldom moisture and rock temperatures can exceed 70℃. To survive the harsh conditions, the organisms build a mineral sheath. When they die, their body and sheath combine with clay from the dust to form the hard, dark-coloured patina.
Destruction of the outer patina results in disappearance of the rock art. There is evidence that the patina is flaking on some rocks with petroglyphs. The patina becomes thin and flakes away under acidic conditions.
Protecting the art
Elsewhere in the world countries have been vigilant in protecting natural and cultural heritage from acid emissions. In the US cars are banned or severely limited in many national parks because the acid formed from nitrogen dioxide, produced from vehicle exhaust, will damage the forests.
In France, the 1.4 million annual visitors to the 17,000-year-old Lascaux cave paintings do not see the actual paintings, but a replica in an adjoining cave because of the damage caused by emissions from human breath.
Similarly, the UK government announced in January this year they are building a £1.4 billion tunnel to remove cars form the vicinity of their 4,500-year-old heritage in Stonehenge.
While removing industry may be the best solution to ensure the rock art's safety, it may not be practical. Governments and industry must recognise their social responsibilities and ensure sufficient technology is in place to reduce acid forming emissions to near zero.
