It could be another terrifying night for people in the south, as that devastating storm system that wreaked havoc on Texas continues across the Southeast. At least 20 tornados were reported…and many of them formed so quickly people had literally seconds to take shelter. And police in New York City today arrested a 26-year-old woman and charged her with shoving an 87-year-old beloved vocal coach - who later died. The suspect turned herself into police just days after this very detailed photo of her was circulated on social media. Plus, it’s time to end the party. That's the word from police in Miami Beach where a state of emergency is in effect after spring break violence got so out of hand that five people were shot over the weekend.

An apartment complex in Kyiv was hit by Russian rockets today in what’s become a daily assault on civilian installations. The attack came as Vladimir Putin defiantly staged a rally in Moscow. But right in the middle of Putin's speech, the broadcast cut away to something completely different. Steven Fabian has details. And we've all heard the saying "music has charms to soothe the savage beast.” Might it also have the power to stop a war? As Jim Moret reports, across the world violinists are banding together to make a statement. Meantime over in NCAA women's swimming, Lia Thomas won gold - which has reignited a national debate. That’s because Lia was born male. After three years competing on the University of Pennsylvania men's team, she underwent hormone replacement therapy and is now on the women's team - swimming faster than any other female college swimmer.

Outrageous, horrific, barbaric. There are not adjectives strong enough to describe the reaction to the latest carnage in Ukraine…where ten ordinary citizens standing in a bread line were reportedly killed when Russian soldiers opened fire. The massacre happened just hours before Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave a stirring address to a joint session of Congress. And as Russia escalates its assault…Vladimir Putin's fear of assassination seems to grow as well. As Steven Fabian reports, he's allegedly poisoned his own adversaries in the past, and seems to fear he might endure the same fate. Plus, back here at home, the recent spike in gas prices has put a real crimp in many people's wallets. And while oil prices have slipped back down, some people don’t want to be caught short if prices keep rising. But, as Jim Moret tells us, hoarding gasoline can be dangerous. And she was the shelter dog named Ruby that no one wanted...now she's a bona fide hero.
