Marcus Outzen, who stepped in at starting quarterback to lead Florida State to the first BCS National Championship game in 1999, died Tuesday after a battle with a rare immune deficiency disorder. "The Rooster" was 46. Outzen was recently diagnosed with HLH (Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis), a severe inflammatory syndrome that prevents the immune system from functioning properly, the Tallahassee Democrat reported Wednesday. "Rest In Peace @MarcusOutzen. I love you so much Dad," his son Colton Outzen posted to X. Outzen played at FSU from 1996-2000 as a career backup to QB Chris Weinke. However, a neck injury to Weinke late in the 1998 season thrust Outzen into the starting role. He led the Seminoles to wins over Wake Forest and archrival Florida and into the inaugural BCS National Championship game in Tempe, Ariz., where they lost to Tennessee, 23-16. Outzen threw for 145 yards and rushed for a touchdown against the Volunteers. Outzen returned to a backup role behind Weinke, who led FSU to the BCS Championship title over Virginia Tech the following year at the 2000 Sugar Bowl. Outzen finished his career with 1,074 yards passing and five touchdowns against six interceptions. Outzen lived in the Tampa Bay area with his wife and children. "Marcus was a good friend to a lot of people," former FSU teammate Bobby Rhodes told the Democrat. "People liked him, on and off the field. This is so sad." --Field Level Media

Returning briefly to the campaign trail, Donald Trump has called the judge presiding over his hush money trial “crooked” a day after being held in contempt of court and threatened with jail time for violating a gag order. The order bars him from making public statements about witnesses, jurors and some others connected to his trial, but he is still free to criticize the judge. The former president is visiting the swing states of Wisconsin and Michigan Wednesday during his one-day break from court. Trump is trying to achieve a balancing act unprecedented in American history by running for a second term as the presumptive Republican nominee while also fighting felony charges in New York.
Active shooter 'neutralized' outside Wisconsin school, officials say amid reports of gunshots, panic
Witnesses described children fleeing amid the sound of gunshots near a Wisconsin middle school where authorities say an active shooter who never got inside was “neutralized” outside the building. Authorities in Mount Horeb said without elaborating that the “alleged assailant” was harmed. But police remained on the scene hours later and many students were still inside. A woman nearby said she heard gunshots and saw dozens of children running. One student said his class fled on in-line skates from a gym class after hearing gunfire. Afterward, SWAT-style trucks and other law enforcement vehicles massed outside the school in Mount Horeb, about 25 miles west of the state capital of Madison.
It was a Texas veterinarian who collected samples from dairy farms that confirmed the outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in cattle for the first time. Dr. Barb Petersen monitors more than 40,000 cattle on a dozen farms in the Texas Panhandle. She received reports from farmers of dead birds, ailing cats and sick cows in early March. She sent samples to a lab to be tested. On farms with sick animals, Petersen says she saw sick people, too. Some experts wonder if anecdotal reports mean more than one person caught the virus from cows. But without confirmation, no one knows if the sick workers were infected with the bird flu virus or something unrelated.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met with Israeli leaders in his push for a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas to impress on them that “the time is now" for an agreement that would free hostages and bring a pause in the nearly seven months of war. The current round of talks appears to be serious, with Hamas considering a new proposal. But the sides remain far apart on the key issue of whether the war should end as part of an emerging deal. In talks with Blinken, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his determination to carry out an offensive on the southern Gaza town of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians are sheltering.

Workers and activists around the world are marking May Day with largely peaceful rallies against rising prices and calling for greater rights. Pro-Palestinian sentiments are also on display. Police in Istanbul fired rubber bullets to disperse thousands of people who tried to reach the main Taksim square in defiance of a ban. In Paris, some workers set makeshift Olympic rings on fire. In South Korea's capital, thousands of protesters expressed frustration with the government. In Lebanon, people sought the end to a miserable economic crisis. “Tax the rich,” one banner in Germany read. “I want to live, not survive,” read one in France.
