CBSN
When investigative reporter Jeff German was murdered in Las Vegas, there was an extraordinary twist. Police made the shocking arrest of a sitting public official who had been accused of wrongdoing in reports written by German.
The staff at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, where German worked, covered the huge story while grieving the loss of one of their coworkers.
"Sheriff tells me, 'Jeff's dead.' And it's just a punch in the face," said executive editor Glenn Cook. "As distraught as I am, I'm not even remotely considering the possibility he had been murdered."

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
