SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

ARRESTED – From Fox:  "CLAYTON, MO (KTVI)- St. Louis County Police have confirmed that the suspected shooter of two police officers early Thursday morning outside of the Ferguson police department is in custody. Jeffrey Williams, 20, of north St. Louis County, has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, firing a weapon from a vehicle, and two counts of armed criminal action. He is in custody with cash-only bail set at $300,000.  The two officers were shot just after midnight, as many protestors were headed home following a night of protests after the resignation of the city’s police chief. The two were standing with other officers in front of the police department on South Florissant Road working crowd control when shots were heard. It is believed that they were fired from behind the protestors."  We are prepared to hear CNN describe Mr. Williams as a "gentle giant," a "picture of compassion," and someone who dearly loves his mother.

REALITY SHOW – From AP:  "NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The arrest of Robert Durst, a wealthy eccentric linked to two killings and his wife's disappearance, came on Sunday just before the finale in an HBO show about his life in which he said he 'killed them all.'  Durst was arrested on a murder warrant just before Sunday evening's finale of an HBO serial documentary about his links to three sensational killings.  In the finale, Durst was asked about similarities in handwriting in a letter he wrote and another linked to one of the killings. Later, filmmakers said Durst wore his microphone into the bathroom.  What followed was a bizarre rambling in which Durst said, apparently to himself, 'There it is. You're caught' and 'What the hell did I do? Killed them all of course.'"  There have been a number of TV programs about Durst, some shown on Investigation Discovery.  In this case the filmmakers caught the guy confessing into an open mike.  Maybe justice will finally be done. 

HILLARY IN DEEPER – From ABC News:  "House Speaker John Boehner is expected to announce this week a new investigation into Hillary Clinton's email practices as Secretary of State, including her admission that more than 31,000 emails were destroyed because she determined them to be personal, top House Republicans told ABC News today.  During a news conference last week, Clinton did not go into the details of how the review of her email was conducted, but said it was 'thorough' and that she went 'above and beyond' what she was required to do in turning over many of her emails to the State Department."  The probes will apparently be conducted during the very period in which Hillary will announce her candidacy.  Not a great way to start a campaign.  Somewhere, Obama is smiling.
