A dozen Democratic presidential candidates participated in a spirited debate Tuesday over health care, taxes, gun control and impeachment. Takeaways from the three-hour forum in Westerville, Ohio.

WARREN’S RISE ATTRACTS ATTACKS

Their story was featured last week in 8 News Now’s ‘What’s Cool at School’ segment. The students at Cadwallader Middle School created 58 sets of life-sized angel wings to pay tribute to those who lost their lives on Oct. 1, 2017.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A few tortoises in the valley have a new home. On Tuesday, the Clark County Desert Conservation Program released five desert tortoises.
