tion for oxycodone in the name of Prince’s
bodyguard, intending it to go Prince.
Metz said the evidence shows Prince
thought he was taking Vicodin, not fentanyl.
He said there’s no evidence any person associ-
ated with Prince knew he possessed any coun-
terfeit pill containing fentanyl.
Prince was 57 when he was found alone
and unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley
Park studio compound on April 21, 2016. His
death sparked a national outpouring of grief,
and prompted a joint investigation by Carver
County and federal authorities.

Trump leaves open
possibility of bailing on
meeting with Kim
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump said that although he’s looking ahead
optimistically to a historic summit meeting
with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un he
could still pull out if he feels it’s “not going to
be fruitful.”
Trump said that CIA Director Mike Pompeo
and Kim “got along really well” in their recent
secret meeting, and he declared, “We’ve never
been in a position like this” to address world-
wide concerns over North Korea’s nuclear
weapons.
But speaking alongside Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday, after
the allies met at Trump’s Florida resort, he
made clear that he’d still be ready to pull the
plug on what is being billed as an extraordi-
nary meeting between the leaders of longtime
adversaries.
“If I think that if it’s a meeting that is not
going to be fruitful we’re not going to go. If
the meeting when I’m there is not fruitful I will
respectfully leave the meeting,” Trump told a
news conference. He also said that a U.S.-led
“maximum pressure” campaign of tough eco-
nomic sanctions on North Korea would con-
tinue until the isolated nation “denuclearizes.”
Abe echoed the sentiment.
“Just because North Korea is responding
to dialogue, there should be no reward. Max-
imum pressure should be maintained,” he said.
Trump has said his summit with Kim, with
whom he traded bitter insults and threats last
year as North Korea conducted nuclear and
missile tests, could take place by early June,
although the venue has yet to be decided. It
would be the first such leadership summit
between the two nations after six decades of
hostility following the Korean War.

Southwest Airlines pilot lauded
as hero for handling crisis
BOERNE, Texas — The Southwest
Airlines pilot being lauded as a hero in
a harrowing emergency landing after a
passenger was partially blown out of
the jet’s damaged fuselage is also being
hailed for her pioneering role in a career
where she has been one of the few
women at the controls.
Tammie Jo Shults, one of the first
female fighter pilots in the U.S. Navy,
was the captain and piloting the Dal-
las-bound Flight 1380 when it made
an emergency landing Tuesday in
Philadelphia.
One of the engines on the Boeing 737
exploded while the plane was traveling
500 mph at 30,000 feet with 149 people
on board. Shrapnel hit the plane and pas-
sengers said they had to rescue a woman
who was being blown out of a damaged
window. The woman later died of blunt
force trauma to her head, neck and torso.
California reaches deal
on National Guard
border mission
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California has
reached an agreement with the federal govern-
ment that the state’s National Guard troops will
deploy to the border to focus on fighting trans-
national gangs as well as drug and gun smug-
glers, Gov. Jerry Brown said.
The announcement Wednesday came after
a week of uncertainty in which President Don-
ald Trump bashed the governor’s insistence
that troops avoid immigration-related work.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen
Nielsen wrote on Twitter that final details were
still being worked out “but we are looking for-
ward to the support.”
Brown said he secured federal funding for
terms similar to those outlined in last week’s
proposed contract: The Guard cannot handle
custody duties for anyone accused of immigra-
tion violations, build border barriers or have
anything to do with immigration enforcement.
Federal officials refused to sign the pro-
posal because they said it was outside estab-
lished protocol for the Guard.
Brown’s office said Wednesday that the
previous contract was unnecessary after he
secured federal funding for his goals. Brown
spokesman Evan Westrup said the exact cost
has not been determined.
Some troops may be deployed this month
and are expected to stay until at least Sept. 30,
Brown said. Members of the contingent will be
assigned to all parts of the state, not just the
border.
Brown elicited rare and effusive praise
from Trump last week when he pledged 400
troops, which helped put the president above
the lower end of his threshold of marshaling
2,000 to 4,000 troops for his border mission.
Poland marks 75th
anniversary of uprising
in Warsaw Ghetto
WARSAW, Poland — Sirens wailed,
church bells tolled and yellow paper daffodils
of remembrance dotted the crowd as Polish
and Jewish leaders extolled the heroism and
determination of the Warsaw Ghetto Upris-
ing fighters on the 75th anniversary of their ill-
fated rebellion.
Polish President Andrzej Duda and World
Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder said
the hundreds of young Jews who took to arms
in Warsaw in 1943 against the overwhelming
might of the Nazi German army fought for
their dignity, but also to liberate Poland from
the occupying Germans.
The daffodil tradition comes from Marek
Edelman, the last surviving commander of the
uprising, who on every anniversary used to
lay the spring flowers at the monument to the
fighters. He died in 2009.
In addition to the official observances, hun-
dreds of others attended an emotional com-
memoration by Poles furious at a conservative
government that seems to tolerate anti-Se-
mitic views despite its official denunciations
of anti-Semitism.
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising broke out
April 19, 1943, when about 750 young Jewish

fighters armed with just pistols and fuel bottles
attacked a much larger and heavily armed Ger-
man force that was putting an end to the ghet-
to’s existence. In their last testaments they said
they knew they were doomed but wanted to die
in struggle, at a time and place of their own
choosing. They held out nearly a month, lon-
ger than some German-invaded countries did.
The Germans razed the Warsaw Ghetto and
killed most of the fighters, except for a few
dozen who managed to escape through sewage
canals to the “Aryan” side of the city, Edelman
among them.
Minnesota prosecutor
won’t file charges in
Prince’s death
MINNEAPOLIS — The prosecutor in
the Minnesota county where Prince died said
today that no criminal charges will be filed in
the musician’s death, effectively ending the
state’s two-year investigation into how Prince
got the fentanyl that killed him.
Carver County Attorney Mark Metz’s
announcement came just hours after docu-
ments revealed that a doctor who was accused
of illegally prescribing an opioid for Prince
had agreed to pay $30,000 to settle a fed-
eral civil violation. Prosecutors alleged Dr.
Michael Todd Schulenberg wrote a prescrip-
New data: Americans
filling far fewer opioid
prescriptions
TRENTON, N.J. — The number of pre-
scriptions for opioid painkillers filled in the
U.S. fell dramatically last year, showing their
biggest drop in 25 years and continuing a
decline amid increasing legal restrictions and
public awareness of the dangers of addiction,
new data show.
Health data firm IQVIA’s Institute for
Human Data Science released a report today
showing an 8.9 percent average drop nation-
wide in the number of prescriptions for opi-
oids filled by retail and mail-order pharma-
cies. All 50 states and the District of Columbia
had declines of more than 5 percent. Declines
topped 10 percent in 18 states, including all of
New England and other states hit hard by the
opioid overdose epidemic, such as West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania.
“We’re at a really critical moment in the
country when everybody’s paying attention to
this issue,” said Michael Kleinrock, the insti-
tute’s research director. “People really don’t
want them if they can avoid them.”
There was an even greater drop in total
dosage of opioid prescriptions filled in 2017,
down 12 percent from 2016. Reasons for that
include more prescriptions being for a shorter
duration, a 7.8 percent decline in new patients
starting on opioid prescriptions and far fewer
high-dose prescriptions.

Shults calmly relayed details about
the crisis to air traffic controllers, and
passengers commended her handling of
the situation.
In a statement late Wednesday, Shults
and the other pilot on board, First Offi-
cer Darren Ellisor, said they felt like
they were simply doing their jobs.
Shults was commissioned into the
Navy in 1985 and reached the rank of
lieutenant commander, said Commander
Ron Flanders, the spokesman for Naval
Air Forces in San Diego.
Women aviators were excluded from
combat missions until the month after
Shults got off active duty in March
1993, but Flanders said Shults flew
during Operation Desert Storm trainings
as an aggressor enemy pilot.
“While we at that time had an exclu-
sion, she was in fact helping male pilots
hone their skills,” Flanders said.
BEIRUT — Hundreds of Syrian rebels in
a town northeast of Damascus handed in their
weapons and boarded buses to leave under an
evacuation deal, state media reported today.
Fighters were to relocate with their fami-
lies to opposition-held areas in northern Syria,
effectively surrendering their town of Dumayr
to the Syrian government.
The departure was set to involve 1,500
fighters from the Army of Islam rebel faction
with 3,500 of their family members, said the
state-run SANA news agency. Their destina-
tion was Jarablus, a town shared under Turk-
ish and Syrian opposition control near the Syr-
ia-Turkey border.
Dumayr, in the Qalamoun mountains, is a
minute’s drive away from the eastern Ghouta
region, a former rebel enclave that came under
full government control last week after a driv-
ing offensive that culminated in a suspected
chemical weapons attack.
Inspectors from the Organization for the
Prohibition of Chemical Weapons were still
not able to reach the scene, 12 days after the
suspected attack.
The April 7 attack prompted the United
States, France, and Britain to strike at sus-
pected Syrian chemical weapons facilities.
The three countries said they held the Syrian
government and its ally Russia responsible
for the attack. Damascus and Moscow denied
responsibility.
A U.N. security team touring the sites of the
alleged attack on Tuesday, was shot at and sub-
jected to a blast. Their visit was put on hold
pending the security situation.
