Self defense? Aggravated assault? Hey, these things happen -- all the damn time: MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A baby caught in the crossfire is recovering after she was accidentally shot by her own mother. Late Sunday night, Murfreeboro police came to a downtown apartment complex after receiving a report of a shot fired. They arrived to find a woman inside with a 9mm handgun. Police believe she pulled it out during a heated argument with her boyfriend -- the father of her daughter. "The two were involved in a verbal and then physical confrontation with the use of deadly force," said Kyle Evans with the Murfreesboro Police Dept.

    “President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine. Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he’s now often surrounded by aides,” Axios reports. “With aides usually walking between Biden and journalists’ camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old’s halting and stiff gait.”
