Murder-suicide reported in Virginia

AXTON, Va. (AP) — Authorities say a Virginia couple and their adult son have been found shot to death in a murder-suicide inside their burning home and that another son was wounded but escaped.

The Henry County Sheriff's Office says William Ronald Carter fatally shot his wife, Bonnie, their 29-year-old son William Ronald Carter Jr. and himself. Their bodies were discovered shortly after midnight Sunday in the basement of their home in Axton, near the Virginia-North Carolina state line.

The sheriff's office says another son, 22-year-old Timothy Carter, told investigators that his father lured him into the basement and shot him as he was walking down the steps. He was shot a second time as he tried to escape and is in fair condition at a hospital.

Gays in N.Y. mark Stonewall rebellion

NEW YORK (AP) — Decades after a riot at a Greenwich Village bar sparked a movement for equal rights, gay New Yorkers celebrated their gains at Sunday's gay pride parade and lamented the state has not legalized same-sex marriage.

The annual march down Fifth Avenue commemorated the Stonewall rebellion of 40 years ago, when patrons at a gay bar resisted the police. The several days of disturbances that followed the uprising became one of the defining moments of the gay rights movement.

The celebration was tempered by the knowledge that other states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa, have legalized same-sex marriage before New York.

Man recants claim he was rabbi's hit man

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — The man who has long claimed that a southern New Jersey rabbi hired him to kill his wife in 1994 has now recanted his story.

Private investigator Len Jenoff previously testified that Fred Neulander hired him to kill his wife inside the couple's home in the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill so the rabbi could carry on an affair.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Sunday that Jenoff has recanted in an affidavit filed by Neulander's court-appointed attorney, who is seeking a new trial for the rabbi.

Neulander — who is serving a life term — has maintained Jenoff and a second man killed his wife during a robbery.

Jenoff is now serving a 23-year sentence after pleading guilty to aggravated manslaughter and agreeing to cooperate with authorities.

Gunmen kill 3 at pizza fundraiser

PICO RIVERA, Calif. (AP) — A gunman fired into a group of people outside a pizza restaurant where a motorcycle club was holding a fundraising event, killing three people and wounding seven.

Police said Sunday they were still seeking the gunman.

Investigators were trying to determine whether the shooting was gang related, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Keith Ho.

The shooting occurred Saturday evening during a fundraiser held by a motorcycle group called the Old School Riders. People gathered in the parking lot of Falcone's Pizza were fired upon by a gunman who then jumped into a dark-colored vehicle, Ho said.

"The suspect started firing into the crowd without provocation," the deputy said.

Three men, two of them brothers, died at the scene.
