Hello, I'm John Jason with the BBC news.
The so-called "Batman Shooter", James Holmes, hasbeen found guilty of killing 12 cinema-goers in theAmerican state of Colorado in 2012. Seventy peoplewere also injured, when the 27-year-old opened firein a packed cinema showing the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises just outside the city ofDenver. David Willis reports from Los Angeles.
"Holmes surrendered to the police in a car park outside the cinema, and whilst his legal teamnever sought to deny he committed the massacre, they argue that he was insane at the time,and should be spared the death penalty. But after hearing nearly three months of evidence, ittook the jury less than two days to find James Holmes guilty. That same jury will now have todecide whether he spends the rest of his life in jail or faces the death penalty."
The FBI says it's found nothing tying the gunman who killed four US marines in Tennessee toan international terrorist organisation. It said it was still looking for a motive. Twenty-four-year-old Kuwaiti-born Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez attacked two naval buildings inChattanooga on Thursday. He was eventually shot dead by police. Gary O'Donoghue is inChattanooga.
"Police's yellow tape seals off the area around the house, in which Mohammod YoussufAbdulazeez lived, as investigators attempt to piece together what led to these attacks. Lawenforcement officials say there is no indication that others were involved, and no one else hasbeen taken into custody. However, FBI investigators will be taking a long look at two blogposts, apparently authored by Abdulazeez on Monday, and there're reports that he may havetraveled to the Middle East at some stage."

A study is being carried out in Sierra Leone to try to establish whether Ebola can be passed onthrough sexual contact with male survivors of the virus. The World Health Organisation saysit's a strong possibility. Previous research suggests Ebola can stay in semen for at least threemonths after recovery from the virus. Tulip Mazumdar reports from Freetown.
"Around 100 men will give regular samples to try and establish how long the virus stays in thebody, and whether people are still infectious during that time. Survivors are being urged to usecondoms until more is known, and for at least three months after testing negative. Thisunprecedented outbreak has created thousands of survivors, some of whom are reportingjoint pains and problems with their vision. But the most common complaint is continuingisolation and stigmatisation in their communities."
