Man shot outside Chicago O'Hare airport

CHICAGO -- A man was shot outside of a Chicago O'Hare International Airport terminal early Wednesday after an altercation among multiple people, police said.

The 25-year-old suffered two gunshot wounds to the lower body, a Chicago Police Department news release said. He was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Another person was being interviewed, police said. Arrival lanes at all terminals were fully open by 5:15 a.m., O'Hare said in a statement.

Texas court halts execution of inmate

AUSTIN, Texas -- A Texas appeals court Tuesday halted the execution of a man who has spent more than 30 years on death row and had been set to die by lethal injection this week over the killings of six girls and young women found buried in the desert near El Paso.

The order was another reprieve for David Wood, who in 2009 was about 24 hours away from execution when it was halted over claims he is intellectually disabled and thus ineligible for execution.

Those claims were later rejected by a judge and Wood, 67, had been set to die Thursday. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals issued a stay of execution after his latest appeal.

The court paused Wood's execution "until further order." It did not elaborate on the decision.

Had Wood been executed this week, he would have spent 32 years and two months on Texas' death row, the longest time a Texas inmate has waited before being put to death.

The 1987 murders remained unsolved for several years until authorities say Wood bragged to a cellmate that he was the so-called "Desert Killer."

Authorities said Wood gave rides to the victims and then drove them into the desert, where he sexually assaulted and killed them. Two other girls and a young woman were also reported missing but were never found.

Wood, a repeat convicted sex offender, has long maintained his innocence.

Mom pleads innocent in abortion case

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A Louisiana woman pleaded innocent Tuesday to a felony, after reportedly getting abortion pills from a New York doctor and giving them to her teenage daughter to terminate a pregnancy.

The woman's arraignment is part of a cross-state legal battle that involves what may be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state.

In January, a West Baton Rouge grand jury unanimously issued an indictment against the 39-year-old Louisiana woman in connection with criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs, which is a felony. The woman has not been publicly identified by The Associated Press to protect the identity of the minor.

According to District Attorney Tony Clayton, last year, the woman requested abortion medication online from New York-based Dr. Margaret Carpenter, for her daughter. Clayton said the request was made through a questionnaire only.

A "cocktail of pills" was mailed to the woman who directed her daughter to take them, Clayton said.

After taking the drug, the girl was treated at a hospital for a medical emergency. While responding to the emergency, a police officer learned about the pills and under further investigation found that an out-of-state doctor supplied the drugs and turned their findings over to Clayton's office.

The jury also indicted Carpenter, who is facing the same felony charge as the Louisiana woman. Gov. Jeff Landry to sent a formal extradition order to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Under Louisiana law, physicians convicted of performing an illegal abortion, including one with pills, face up to 15 years in prison, $200,000 in fines and the loss of their medical license.

Landry demanded that Carpenter be turned over to Louisiana and face the state's justice system. Hochul refused.

Irish premier joins Trump at White House

President Donald Trump welcomed Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin on Wednesday for the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration at the White House, where he added Ireland to the list of countries he says are taking advantage of the United States.

During the appearance with Martin, Trump repeated his claim that the European Union was created just to stick it to the U.S.

Asked if Ireland, a member of the EU, was taking advantage, too, Trump said, "of course they are."

"I have great respect for Ireland and what they did," he said. "But the United States shouldn't have let it happen."

The Republican was referring to the concentration of U.S. pharmaceutical companies in Ireland, due to the country's tax policies.

Martin countered that the trade relationship is "a two-way street," adding that Ireland's two largest airlines buy more aircrafts from Boeing Co. than anyone else outside of America.

More than 700 Irish companies are also based in America, creating thousands of jobs, Martin said.

"I understand where you're coming from, fully," Martin told Trump, "but I think it's a relationship that we can develop and that will endure into the future."
