Brent Renaud, A Journalist And Filmmaker From The United States, Was Killed In Ukraine

According to police, a US journalist working in Ukraine was shot and killed in the village of Irpin, just outside of Kyiv.

Brent Renaud, a 50-year-old journalist and videographer working for Time in the region, was killed.

Andriy Nebytov, the police chief of Kyiv, said he had been targeted by Russian soldiers. Two more journalists were hurt and had to go to the hospital.

It's the first time a foreign journalist reporting the conflict in Ukraine has been killed.

Juan Arredondo, one of the injured journalists, informed an Italian reporter that he was with Renaud when they were attacked.

"We were crossing one of Irpin's initial bridges, heading to film other migrants escaping, and we hopped into a car," he said.

"Someone offered to drive us to the other bridge, and after passing through a checkpoint, they began shooting at us. As a result, the vehicle turned back and continued shooting; there are two of us. Brent Renaud is a buddy of mine who was shot and left behind... He was shot in the neck, and I witnessed it."

Renaud's press ID, which was issued by the New York Times, is circulating online.

The newspaper said in a statement that it was "very grieved" to learn of Renaud's death, but that he had not been working for it in Ukraine.

According to the Times, Renaud last worked for the journal in 2015, and the press ID he was wearing in Ukraine was given years ago.

Edward Felsenthal, Time's editor-in-chief and CEO, and Ian Orefice, Time's president and chief operations officer, described the loss as "devastating."

"As an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Brent regularly addressed the world's most difficult issues alongside his brother Craig Renaud," according to the statement.

Renaud had traveled to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Haiti to report on the situation. He won a Peabody Award for his work on the Last Chance High series about Chicago schools, which aired in 2014.

He frequently collaborated with his brother, Craig, who is also a filmmaker. Craig may or may not have visited Ukraine as well.

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Vote Casting Restrictions

 The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld balloting restrictions in Arizona in a decision that could make it more difficult to challenge other voting limits put in place by Republican lawmakers following last year's elections. The court, by a conservative-majority 6-3 vote, reversed a lower court ruling in determining that Arizona's rules on who can return early ballots for another individual and for the state's refusal to count ballots cast in the wrong precinct are not racially discriminatory. The federal appeals court in San Francisco had held that the measures disproportionately affected Black, Hispanic and Native American voters in violation of a part of the landmark Voting Rights Act regarded as Section 2. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the conservative majority that the state's interest in the integrity of elections justified the measures. The court rejected the concept that displaying that a state regulation disproportionately affects minority voters is sufficient t...
