News in :90 – April 27, 2026

The St. Paul Police Department said that an investigation is ongoing in connection to a reported conflict between a St. Thomas student and a separate group of people that escalated to threats of violence on the night of April 16 in the Frey Hall parking garage. 

St. Paul police Public Information Officer Toy Vixayvong said that both groups have claimed to be the victim of threats, and officers now seek to determine which group is responsible. No charges have been filed at this time. 

King Charles III lands in Washington Monday to meet with President Trump with trans-Atlantic ties under strain and security in the spotlight.

A shooting at a Washington dinner attended by President Trump on Saturday sparked a last-minute security review of the four-day state visit, intended to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary, and the U.S.-U.K. “special relationship.”

Pope Leo XIV prayed Monday in the Vatican with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, in a historic meeting with the first female leader of the Church of England and spiritual leader of the global Anglican Communion.

The encounter between Christianity’s two most famous religious figures would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, given the divisions between their two churches over women’s ordination in general and Mullally’s appointment in particular.
