False Alarm: Passengers at Los Angeles International Airport panicked and ran for their lives last night during what turned out to be a false report of a shooter on the loose. Hundreds of people ran, possibly spooked by a series of loud noises. It took an hour for security to determine there was no shooter.

It’s Political: Donald Trump’s managers and even his running mate are doing a dance around their boss’s decisions and positions.

Yesterday on CNN Vice presidential candidate Mike Pence wouldn’t say whether Trump still wants to create a “deportation force” and remove 11 million illegal immigrants from the country. Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus said on NBC that Trump had oversimplified his immigration policy, “But now he’s reflecting on it, and his position is going to be known.”

At the moment, Trump is expected to give an immigration speech on Wednesday.

Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway had difficulty defending her boss yesterday on Fox News. Anchor Chris Wallace asked about Trump’s tweet saying the street murder of an NBA star’s cousin in Chicago was a good reason for black voters to support him. Conway dodged and said, “I was pleased that his next tweet expressed his condolences to the Wade family about the death of his cousin.”

She also declined to evaluate Trump’s appointment of Breitbart News Editor Steve Bannon as the campaign CEO. Conway ducked again, saying Trump “chose me to manage his campaign, and I report directly to him.”

Arrests: Related to that Trump tweet, two Chicago men have been charged with murder in the street shooting of 32-year-old Nykea Aldridge, a mother of four who was pushing a stroller. Darwin Sorrells Jr., 26, and his brother, Derren Sorrells, 22, both of who were on parole, were reported to be aiming at the driver of a car at the time. Chicago’s murder rate is up 50 percent this year.

Mars Playhouse: Three men and three women chosen by NASA have completed a year living inside a geodesic dome in Hawaii to simulate the conditions of living and working on Mars. They could go outside only in a space suit.

The group was composed of a French astro-biologist, a German physicist and four Americans – a pilot, an architect, a journalist and a soil scientist. They had to learn to live in a confined space with little privacy and no fresh food. Most of all, they had to figure out how to not kill each other.

Grounded: Two United Airlines pilots were taken off their jet in Glasgow, Scotland, and accused of being drunk. The flight was scheduled to take off at 9 am, headed for Newark with 141 passengers. It took United 10 hours to replace the pilots.

Small Screen: CBS News “Sunday Morning” anchor Charles Osgood announced that he’s retiring after 22 years doing the broadcast, and 45 years at CBS News. He’s 83. Osgood, like Charles Kuralt before him, anchors like a well-worn pair of loafers. Most network news anchors are a pair of Oxfords, tightly laced.

Tough Room: Actor Rob Lowe was the official target at Saturday Night’s Comedy Central roast, but conservative pundit Ann Coulter was the victim of collateral damage. She was there and the comedians couldn’t resist.

– “Ann Coulter wants to help Trump make America great again. Yu can start by wearing a burqa.”

– “Ann’s against gay marriage. What’s your thinking on that? If I can’t get a husband, they shouldn’t either?

– “If you are here Ann, who is scaring the crows away from our crops?”
