Gunman clash over Pantera ties ends in fatal shooting
A Columbus area gunman accused Pantera of stealing his ideas and identity before a deadly shooting at Abbott's new band event. Witnesses described Gale, a 6 foot 3 former Marine known as Nat, as quiet but erratic, with episodes of talking to himself and holding an imaginary audience. Authorities said Gale fired a 9mm semi automatic handgun, killed four people including Abbott, and may have restarted his attack after a confrontation at a tattoo parlor. Gale, discharged from the Marine Corps in 2003, had prior run ins with police but lived as a reclusive admirer turned violent suspect.

Supreme Court to review rights of supermax inmates
The Supreme Court will hear next year an Ohio case over the legality of a "supermax" prison near Youngstown that houses about 500 inmates in 23-hour cells. Civil rights groups argue the confinement imposes a significant hardship, while Ohio officials say hearings are needed to neutralize dangerous inmates. The 6th Circuit ruled inmates have a liberty interest requiring hearings before placement. The case could set a national precedent on due process in extreme-security confinement.

Audit of Hamilton Family Services ordered
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services ordered a special audit of its Hamilton County agency after finding irregularities that may have caused the county to receive federal funds improperly. Routing audits showed foster care expenses billed to other programs such as child care, food stamps, and Medicaid. Barbara Riley cited unusual coding and recording of financial transactions as a trigger for a detailed review of procedures and accounting methods. Suzanne Burke said the agency is cooperating and supplying hundreds of thousands of records. Some questioned practices date back to the 1990s, but changes were begun after officials questioned eligibility and corrected interpretations.
