New Search For Jimmy Hoffa
WHITFIELD: A business owner and a UPS driver are among four people killed by a gunman who opened fire yesterday at a sign company in a quiet Minneapolis neighborhood. The gunman wounded four more people before killing himself. He's identified as a former employee of the shop.</s>HEATHER BUCKINGHAM, FORMER ACCENT SIGNAGE EMPLOYEE: The one that was doing the shooting was a quiet, kept to himself kind of guy. Kind of odd.</s>WHITFIELD: Police are not commenting on a motive. The co-workers tell CNN affiliate KARE that the man was fired just hours before that shooting. In Florida, a veteran high school teacher is arrested in his classroom, charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill another teacher. Police say James Pepe called a friend and asked him to kill his former co-worker. The man called police, who then set up a sting operation, which led to Pepe's arrest. He allegedly offered $2,000 for the hit.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There was some rumors going around about him, and he attributed those rumors to our victim in this case. He, in his mind, attributed his problems to the victim in this case. And he felt the only way to solve that issue was to kill him.</s>WHITFIELD: Fifty-five year old Pepe is charged with solicitation of first degree murder. He has been teaching for 28 years. Fifty students were taken to hospitals after a school bus collided with a car this morning in Louisville, Kentucky. The bus rolled over on its side after it collided with a car carrying three high school students. There were 47 middle school students on the bus. None of the injuries are considered life threatening. It has been 37 years since former Teamsters Union leader Jimmy Hoffa disappeared. Well, today, the decades long search for his remains led to the driveway of a house in suburban Detroit. CNN's Susan Candiotti is outside the shed where police did a little digging today.</s>SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yet another chapter in one of America's longest running mysteries, what happened to the remains of Jimmy Hoffa? Well, today here in Roseville, Michigan, police took about an hour to carefully remove soil samples from beneath a shed in a driveway at a house where, back in 1975, a tipster now says that he thinks that he saw what could have been a body buried inside that shed in the ground. So police took soil samples. They dug about six feet under to remove them. And those soil samples will now be analyzed. Now, the FBI is pretty skeptical about this information and so, quite frankly, is the police chief here. But he says, hey, we have to check this out.</s>CHIEF JAMES BERLIN, ROSEVILLE, MICHIGAN, POLICE: I don't think it's Mr. Hoffa. It would be great if it was, because I'd love to bring closure to his family and the thousands of teamsters that idolized this man and just to southeastern Michigan. This is kind of like an open wound that just keeps -- won't go away.</s>TOM FUENTES, FORMER FBI ASST. DIRECTOR: There's been a lot of earth moved looking for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa. All negative so far.</s>CANDIOTTI: Two samples were removed from the ground. And police say they look kind of murky because of all the ground water. But those samples are now going to a lab at Michigan State University. And they expect to know sometime Monday whether there are human remains buried beneath that driveway. If there are, then there will be a larger excavation. Of course, they've had tips like this before that have not panned out. So now the question is, will police crack this case or will it remain an unsolved mystery? Susan Candiotti, CNN, Roseville, Michigan.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, thanks so much, Susan. Keep us posted on that. We're learning a little bit more today about how the investigation into the Colorado theater shooting is unfolding. New documents released a few hours ago detail how police in Aurora, Colorado, handled the notebook that suspect James Holmes mailed to his psychiatrist days before the shooting. According to those documents, police first x-rayed the package containing the notebook. Then a bomb squad technician wearing a special suit removed the notebook from the wrapping. The documents have been heavily redacted, but they state that an Aurora detective fanned through the notebook before it was turned over to evidence and sealed. Also in the documents, Holmes had threatened his psychiatrist and those threats were reported to University of Colorado Police before the shooting. Holmes is accused of opening fire during that midnight screening of the new "Batman" movie on July 20th in Aurora. Twelve people were killed. Another 58 were wounded. Straight ahead, a warning for drivers in Los Angeles. This weekend, it is carmageddon II. The sequel. A major freeway stretch in L.A. closing again. So the big question, will drivers stay home like they did the last time?
