• Newly declared presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is off and running toward Iowa — or rather, driving to Iowa, in a van dubbed “Scooby.” She was seen at a gas station in Pennsylvania and last spotted at a Chipotle in Maumee, Ohio, via low-resolution security camera footage.

• A reserve deputy has been charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of an unarmed man who was killed during a sting operation in Tulsa. The volunteer Tulsa reserve deputy intended to grab his taser, but instead grabbed his firearm when the suspect tried to run.

• A federal judge has sentenced a former Blackwater security guard to life in prison, and three others to 30 years in prison, for their roles in a 2007 shooting that killed 14 Iraqi civilians and wounded more than a dozen others.
