...dispute over who killed 14-year-old Samuel Weaver intensified today when Larry Cooper, a federal marshal involved in the gunfight at Ruby Ridge, testified that he thought it was Randy Weaver himself who fired the fatal shot that killed his son. TIME's Elaine Shannon believes Cooper's testimony raises important questions about Randy Weaver's possible complicity in the shootout, which also left another U.S. marshal dead. Says Shannon: "Weaver wants us to believe that he fired his gun in the air to call his son back home after the marshals began firing." Samuel Weaver was killed...
...Horiuchi, the FBI sniper who shot and killed Randy Weaver's wife during a1992 Ruby Ridge shootout, took the Fifth Amendment today behind closed doors at the Senate.

...transition summer hasn't been smooth. The show's new team was to begin work on Aug. 14, but Michaels didn't secure his last few writers and final two cast members (returnee Shannon and newcomer Darrell Hammond) until last week. Moreover, despite the influx of new faces, veteran SNL watchers are wondering just how much of a rejuvenation the show will get. Four of the five new performers come from the Goundlings and Second City--the same comedy troupes Michaels has mined for years.
