House bill to repeal estate tax faces Senate hurdle
The House approved a repeal of the estate tax amid White House veto threats, arguing it is an immoral tax on wealth. Democrats call it a giveaway to the rich as exemptions shield most estates. The 240 to 179 vote moves to the Senate, where enough votes may block it. The same session also made permanent a deduction for state and local sales taxes, facing a potential veto due to added deficits.

Milwaukee police chief: Suspect dead after fatal shootings
Milwaukee police say Ricky Chiles III killed himself Thursday morning as officers and U.S. marshals closed in at a Chicago area motel. He had been sought in connection with the Sunday deaths of Archie Brown Jr. and Rasheed Chiles, the latter a 15-year-old who witnessed the traffic crash that killed his younger brother Damani Terry. The incident occurred after Brown struck Damani, prompting Chiles to shoot at Brown, killing both Brown and Rasheed. Damani died at the scene. Officer Flynn condemned the violence and noted Milwaukee’s rising homicide tally for 2015.
