Texas doctor with terminal cancer believed to have killed physician during standoff

AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) -- A terminally ill doctor shot and killed a pediatrician during a six-hour-long standoff before turning the gun on himself, police in Austin said Tuesday night.

Police said they responded to what was initially a call of a "disturbance at a building" in the central part of the Texas capital.

Several hostages initially escaped and others were later allowed to leave with the exception of Dr. Katherine Dodson, according to a release by APD.

Officers conducted interviews with the hostages who managed to escape and were able to identify the suspect as Dr. Bharat Narumanchi. Officers learned that Dr. Narumanchi had been to this office a week ago and applied for a volunteer position. He was a pediatrician who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Hostages reported to officers that he carried a pistol, along with what appeared to be a shotgun and two duffel bags. Besides the earlier mention of his visit to the office, it did not appear Dr. Dodson and Dr. Narumanchi had any other contact.

A double-amputee dog named Pihu is teaching kids about kindness in a new book

A Maryland dog is teaching kids about acceptance through a new book that's all about her.

She may look a little different, but Pihu is a rescue dog living a full life despite a few challenges.

Just like any dog, Pihu is always ready for her morning walk. But it’s how she gets around that really sets her apart.

Pihu is on wheels because she’s a double amputee. Jill Trail adopted Pihu from India. She’s a daisy dog, which means street dog. And she’s a lucky dog. She was rescued after being hit by a car, which caused spinal damage.

Nancy Pelosi: The 2021 60 Minutes interview

Eta: I watched after I posted. She discusses the attempted coup among others topics and showed some of the damage the traitors caused. She described the terror that her staff was put through and at one point was overcome with emotion. Leslie Stahl challenged her on a few topics and Nancy more than held her own. Overall I thought it was a very good interview. I'm so glad that she's in charge right now.
