Current Event 1.

Drug traffic might have caused gunman opened fire and killing at least seven people and injuring twenty others. A nine year old girl and a pregnant woman who lost her fetus after being shoot where some of the injured.

The justice department is planning on filing a murder charge for the death of the fetus. Three were found dead in the bar, another three were found dead outside of the bar while the seventh died at the hospital. They were struggling to identify those who died in the shooting because few people were willing to cooperate for the police.

The shooting happened just weeks after federal authorities and local police arrested several suspected drug dealers.

Current Event 2.

Rafael Palmeiro testified that "I have never used steroids. Period.“ But four months later that period turned into a question mark when he was randomly drug tested and the results came out positive. He was suspended for ten days and his salary got docked by about $ 164,000.

Palmerio said “that he would never "intentionally" use steroids, and that maybe someone slipped them into his diet without him knowing. He also said that he made a mistake and he hopes that his fans will be able to forgive him.

Palmerio was the seventh MLB player to be on the “drug” this season. Although the New York Yankees first baseman was the only one to publicly announce he was using steriods.

Current Event 3.

The new Georgia Forest Resource Council has had ongoing statewide meetings to address management of forests near the Chattahoochie River.

A third meeting addressed burning regulations in the Atlanta area. The result was to allow prescribed burns for forest management.

Obama is trying to provide jobs to get the economy out of a great deficit. Obama aides said the administration is not yet ready to commit to additional measures. Unemployment stands at 9.8 percent, with more than 4 million jobs lost this year. The deficit has reached $1.4 trillion and the national debt $11.9 trillion.

Adviser David Axelrod cited progress on reviving the economy, with expectations for growth in the third quarter this year. But he warned that the government should not make the mistake of ending its recovery initiatives too early at the risk of sending the economy back into recession.

In appearances on the Sunday news programs, the advisers criticized those Wall Street firms that are paying huge amounts in compensation and benefits after accepting taxpayer assistance. Goldman Sachs, for example, has said it has set aside $16.7 billion for compensation so far this year, more than $500,000 per employee. Citigroup is paying $5.3 billion in bonuses to its employees and Bank of America $3.3 billion.
