 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew. In a September court declaration, Floca cited “acute risks to public safety” following an inspection that found deterioration in a roof terrace canopy and a partial ceiling collapse.

 2 teens face attempted murder charges for allegedly planning mass shooting at Indiana high school

  

Two 17-year-old girls have been charged with attempted murder and conspiracy for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at a central Indiana high school that one of them attended.

Alexis Pickett, a student at Morristown High School in Shelbyville, Indiana, and Melanie Little of Corinth, Mississippi, are both facing adult charges. Authorities say the plan was discussed over social media, with Pickett sharing videos of the school’s layout with Little. The investigation began in December when Pickett’s mother reported concerning behavior, including online conversations fixated on past school shootings, to local sheriff’s deputies. Pickett, who lives in Arlington, Indiana, was charged in January, and Little was charged this week.

Law enforcement documents show that the pair used the Discord app to discuss the alleged attack, with Pickett acknowledging thoughts of self-harm and harming others. Her devices reportedly contained images from the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, and she previously dressed as a school shooter for Halloween. According to court filings, Pickett planned a shooting around graduation day, and Little reportedly intended to claim she was visiting an old friend. Pickett allegedly provided videos of school hallways and dead ends, and photos of targets she hit with a shotgun and a .357 revolver. The pair also discussed acquiring additional firearms.

Both Pickett and Little face one count each of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder, each carrying 20 to 40 years in prison. Pickett is also charged with intimidation. Pickett is being held on a $1 million cash bond, with her trial set for April 20. Little remains in a Mississippi jail, and Indiana authorities are pursuing extradition after she declined to waive it.
