Fargo Central High School caught fire around lunchtime on April 19, 1966. The fire was thought to be caused by a malfunction in a heating plant within the school. All eight units of the city s fire fighting equipment were on hand, along with 76 firemen, including off-duty firefighters. The snowstorm complicated firefighting as 30 mile per hour winds fanned the flames. It took four hours to put it out.Photo courtesy: NDSU Archives

PHILADELPHIA The family of Walter Wallace Jr., the West Philadelphia man whose fatal shooting by Philadelphia police in October set off days of protests and unrest in the city, filed a wrongful death lawsuit Thursday against the two officers who killed him.
The suit, filed in Common Pleas Court, accuses Officers Sean Matarazzo and Thomas Munz Jr. of using unreasonable force when they shot Wallace more than a dozen times outside his family’s home after he approached them with a knife amid what relatives said was a mental health crisis.
