Em Gunter told everyone on her floor to go in their rooms, shut their blinds and turn off the lights. Students know from active shooter drills how to respond, she said. “But how do we deal with it afterwards?” w/@jseewerap apnews.com/article/univer…

I apologize for doing first person journalism, but I needed to do this catharsis and share it with all of you. Here is my last story. apnews.com/article/b72021…

The biggest news today for us here at AP Ohio is this. We'll miss him tremendously but know that Andrew's impact at AP will still be felt for years to come, because of the professionalism, mentorship, compassion and collegiality he modeled so well for so many colleagues.
Some personnel news: I'm retiring from @AP today after 24 amazing years and with deep gratitude to all the wonderful and inspirational colleagues I met along the way. Looking forward to a new career focusing on mystery fiction and freelance writing. So long but not farewell!
Wait, ending an @AP career for a Partridge Family gig? Not as legendary!
FACT CHECK: Mostly TRUE. I WAS a copy-boy at the LA @AP bureau in the 70's & I DID inform John Brewer I was leaving because I'd been cast in, not a "sci-fi movie", but an episode of "The Partridge Family." And so ended my AP career. I like Mr Brewer's version much better.
Former LA @AP bureau chief John Brewer recalls a struggling actor moonlighting as night news assistant - filing, changing ribbons, loading paper - in the ‘70s. He informed Brewer in ‘75 he had been cast in “a sci-fi movie.” And so ended @HamillHimself ‘s AP career!

Thousands of small fitness centers and studios that were forced to close a year ago now are gone for good. Others are struggling to stay afloat and have redesigned their spaces, turned toward more personal workouts and added online training. By @jseewerap apnews.com/article/lifest…
