PIPE BOMB ARREST
There's word that a 56-year old man -- with a lengthy criminal record -- was arrested this morning in connection with sending a dozen possible pipe bombs to high-profile Democrats and critics of President Trump. Reports say Cesar Alteri Sayoc, Jr. was arrested around 11am following reports that more suspected pipe bombs had been intercepted this morning. Those additional devices were addressed to New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and former National Intelligence Director James Clapper. Reports say the 12 possible pipe bombs all look similar and were sent to prominent Dems including former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. AP News reports that the devices were not rigged to explode when opened -- but it's still unclear whether they were poorly designed or never intended to injure anyone.
MATTHEW SHEPARD MEMORIAL
Matthew Shepard -- who was targeted and killed in a highly-publicized anti-gay hate crime back in October 1998 -- was honored today at the Washington National Cathedral. Thousands attended the public ceremony before Shepard's ashes were privately interred this morning at the Episcopal cathedral. Shepard was a 21-student at the University of Wyoming when he was tied to a fence, beaten and left unconscious in the cold -- he died six days later in Colorado hospital. Two men are serving double life sentences for Shepard's kidnapping, robbery and murder. His parents have said they believe the National Cathedral is the only place Matthew's remains will be safe from desecration.
