1 Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin Collapses On The Field During MNF

Going into Monday Night Football, the matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals had all the markings of a game-of-the-year candidate. With 5:58 left in the first quarter, Bills safety Damar Hamlin got up from the ground after making a tackle on Tee Higgins and then almost instantly collapsed back down to the field.

2 Southwest Airlines Cancels More Flights As Problems Continue

Southwest Airlines is back to cancelling dozens of flights just as it started to get back on track. As of Monday, the airline carrier cancelled 3-percent of its flights and delayed another 10-percent. For perspective, that’s 160 flights canceled and 422 delayed.

3 Idaho Murder Suspect Arrested

Authorities have arrested a 28-year-old criminal justice graduate student for murdering four students at the University of Idaho. Washington State University doctoral student Bryan Kohberger was arrested in eastern Pennsylvania in relation to the killing of Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Xana Kernodle. They were all 20 or 21 years old and stabbed to death at a rental home in the college town of Moscow, Idaho. The County Coroner believes all the victims were most likely sleeping when they were killed. As to the part Kohberger may play in the murders, DNA has linked him as a suspect in all four killings. The suspect’s family says they love and support Bryan and want the public to know they have been cooperating with police in order to “seek the truth and promote his presumption of innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions.”
