School Shoot: A Colorado high school student who took a shotgun to school yesterday to hunt a teacher, ended up wounding two students before killing himself. It happened at Arapahoe High School in suburban Denver, just a few miles from Columbine High School, site of one of the deadliest mass shootings in US history. Police said the targeted teacher left the building after he was warned by students that 18-year-old Karl Pierson was in the building with a gun. A female student is listed in critical condition and a second student is reported to have minor injuries.

• Bells chimed 26 times in snowy Newtown and across Connecticut this morning to commemorate the victims of the Sandy Hook School shooting one year ago today.

Torture Report: A portion of the 6,000-page Senate report on torture of terror suspects could be released soon, according to Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA). It took three years and cost $40 million to examine treatment of prisoners during the “War on Terror” that some have described as torture. The White House, CIA, and the Senate have wrestled over releasing all or part of the report that could make the US look bad. Sen. John McCain, who was tortured as a prisoner during the Vietnam War, said in a statement the report convinces him “that the cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of prisoners is not only wrong in principle and a stain on our country’s conscience, but also an ineffective and unreliable means of gathering intelligence.”

Bomb Plot: Federal authorities say they arrested a 58-year old Wichita airport employee who was planning to set off a car bomb at the airport.

He drove a car to the airport Thursday loaded with dummy explosives.

Two Million Buck Chuck: The NY Times reports that billionaire William Koch is on a crusade to root out deception in the wine trade. Koch paid a couple of million dollars for fake wines, then spent $25 million pinning the label of “fraud’ on the culprits. Koch testified in the trial of renowned wine dealer Rudy Kurniawan, who’s accused of selling cheaper wines with faux antique labels. Koch paid $30,000 for what he thought was a 1947 Chateau Petrus. We never would have paid that for a Petrus Bordeaux. The nose is a little oaky and the finish has too much presumption.
