NEWS INTRO VIDEO
----------------------------
A man was shot dead in Liege, Belgium, after shooting dead two police officers and a civilian. The police have also identified the body of another person he had killed before his open firing as an ex-prisoner that he had gone to jail with. The police are still attempting to establish a motive. Luckily, the death toll for this event was extraordinarily low.

On this day in 1922, former President William Howard Taft, who was serving as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at this time, dedicated the Lincoln Memorial on the Washington Mall in D.C. Just only two years after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, congress had already put together a committee called the Lincoln Monument Association to create a way to remember our sixteenth president. The marble used in the monument all comes from different southern states to show that a country torn apart by war can come together again.
