The St. Johns community in northeastern Arizona is trying to cope with a mind-boggling crime: An 8-year-old boy used a rifle to kill his father and another man. The more interesting story may yet be how the justice system treats this kid; he’s expected in court today. Insurance giant AIG loses more money and takes billions more in government handouts – that can’t go on forever, can it? Obama to get first sight of Oval Office in a meeting with President Bush today.

The Republic says the payday loan industry probably is doomed because of last week’s vote on Proposition 200. Lucky fools: Thousands of Tucson-area DUI cases may get thrown out because of faulty breathalyzer equipment. The kidnappers of an Avondale mom and her 3-year-old kid want $100,000. Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa pulls in herds of people. Glendale will get busy tonight as “Monday Night Football” kicks off at the UOP Stadium.
