Five of them — all but Da’Shawn Hand in the fourth round this year — were taken in the top 55 picks.

"Under questioning by Committee investigators, Ms. Munro-Leighton admitte...

Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo told reporters Friday night that the gunman shot six people and pistol-whipped one other person before fatally shooting himself.
