Shane Foley of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. No suspects were in custody as of Sunday evening. As officers were investigating that juvenile’s shooting, Foley said, police received information about 4:40 a.m. that led them to a nearby home, where they found five adults dead inside from apparent gunshot wounds. Kezzie Childs, 42, Raymond Childs, 42, Elijah Childs, 18, Rita Childs, 13, and Kiara Hawkins, 19, were found in the home, Foley said. Hawkins was taken to a hospital, where she and her fetus died, Foley said. He said that the juvenile initially found with gunshot wounds is expected to survive and that police think he was wounded in the shootings that left the five others dead, along with the fetus. Indianapolis Police Chief Randal Taylor said police think the shootings were a targeted attack. He said they occurred days after police department officials had announced their latest efforts to combat violent drug-related crimes and “violence driven by poverty or desperation.” — Associated Press

ALABAMA Former Selma officer sentenced to probation A federal judge in Alabama has given five years of probation to a White former police officer who admitted trying to obstruct investigators looking into charges that he beat a Black driver who had gotten into an argument with his wife. Former Selma police officer Matthew Blaine Till pleaded guilty in September to three counts of obstructing justice. Although prosecutors asked for prison time, U.S. District Judge Matthew Beaverstock put him on probation, a Justice Department news release said. “As part of his plea agreement, Till will no longer be able to work in local, municipal, state or federal law enforcement, nor as a corrections officer or private security guard,” the statement said. Till and former Dallas County sheriff’s deputy John Taccone face state charges of felony second-degree assault as well as misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment and obstructing governmental operations. Their state trial is scheduled in September, Al.com reported. News outlets reported in September that Till’s wife called him on April 30 after a road-rage dispute with a “black guy in a red Charger,” which the two officers chased down and pulled over. A physical struggle started after Till tried to handcuff the man, Al.com reported at the time. While the man asked what he had done, the two on-duty officers hit his face and head, and Till pulled out his gun and threatened to kill him, Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson said when the assault charges were announced. The state charges were brought a week after Till pleaded guilty to the federal charges. As part of that plea, he admitted that he had “used force against a citizen while on duty,” then told another law-enforcement officer multiple times not to tell investigators about his wife’s call. — Associated Press

MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2021 The World ‘Muslim ban’ repeal brings thousands hope Biden’s reversal of Trump’s travel restrictions offers a new chance for long-suffering families and would-be immigrants

BY KAREEM FAHIM, DURRIE BOUSCAREN AND LOUISA LOVELUCK istanbul — Danah Harbi went to another doctor’s appointment this past week without her fiance, as she has for most of her six- month pregnancy, as she has for all manner of appointments and engagements during their long, forced separation. Maybe they will be together when the child is born this spring, but the past few years have been cruel and capri- cious, and the future has been hard to predict. Harbi, 38, lives in Falls Church, Va. Her fiance, Mashaal Hamoud, 34, a Syrian national who lives in Lebanon, has been unable to ob- tain a U.S. visa for several years because of the Trump administra- tion’s 2017 ban on entry to people from a group of Muslim-majority countries, including Syria. The couple had done their best to work around the restrictions. Harbi, an optometrist, traveled to Lebanon several times but was forced to curtail those trips when she learned she was pregnant. As one of his first acts, Presi- dent Biden on Wednesday re- pealed what critics called the “Muslim ban,” offering hope to thousands of families affected by the Trump-era regulations, if not an immediate solution, given the enormous volume of visa and waiver cases that must be re- solved. But the ban’s legacy will re- main. For many of those affected, there will be no regaining what was lost: the moments with loved ones, the money spent on visits to stranded partners or far-flung FAMILY PHOTO consulates, the opportunities to live in the United States that were whether to admit them to the to do. dangled, then dashed or delayed.

BY PERRY STEIN

A week out from opening the doors to students and teachers for the first time this academic year, the District is reporting that 5,200 students have accepted seats for in-person learning, about a third of the school sys- tem’s capacity in this phase of reopening. But the teachers union and the schools chancellor continue to spar over the plans, despite reaching an agreement in Decem- ber after the city’s two previous attempts to reopen schools failed. Washington Teachers’ Union President Elizabeth Davis has told the city’s labor board that she believes Schools Chancellor Lew- is D. Ferebee has breached the agreement that took months to reach. She said the school system needs to share more detailed stu- dent-demand data with the union so she understands just how many teachers are required. Da- vis said she fears that the chancel- lor is asking more teachers to return than are actually needed. The city says it directed schools to offer spots first to students of all grade levels who are consid- ered most at risk for academic failure, and it expects its reported number of acceptances to rise in the days leading up to the Feb. 1 SARAH L.

A look at VP APPRECIATION Harris’s digs at Blair House

BY JURA KONCIUS

Although they’ve had to put off their move into the official vice president’s residence, Vice President Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are in very good hands. As temporary residents of Blair House, the president’s elegant guest- house, they have access to historic antique-filled rooms (120 of them) and the gracious hospitality and amenities that the guesthouse extends to visiting heads of state. And you can’t beat the commute: It’s right across the street from the White House complex and the vice president’s offices. Harris and Emhoff must wait for some maintenance to be completed at the official vice president’s residence — an 1893 Victorian on the wooded grounds of the Naval Observatory, about two miles away — before they can move in. Crews are working on new liners for the chimneys and other tasks in the 33-room home, according to an aide in the vice president’s office. “It’s such a cozy and beautiful place,” Capricia Marshall, a former chief of protocol and current board member of the Blair House Restoration Fund, says of the guesthouse. “There is so much history here, and it tells the great story of our country. So many presidents have SEE HOUSE ON C2 It’s time to hit Fox News in the balance sheet

I happened to be watching Fox News on election night when the network startled the political world by calling Arizona for Joe Biden. Margaret It was a weird Sullivan moment, without the fanfare that usually accompanied the announcement that a state was being put in one column or another. A few hours later, the Associated Press made the same call. But many other news organizations, including The Washington Post, took days to reach that daring conclusion. For them, Arizona’s vote count simply remained far too close. Nate Silver, the data-oriented editor of FiveThirtyEight.com, even argued that Fox News should rescind its call, that it was too early to make the prediction. And Trumpworld was enraged. Losing the traditionally red state would make it that much harder to proclaim that the election was so close that it must in fact have been stolen by the Democrats. It would disrupt the Big Lie narrative. Former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, even called Fox honcho Rupert Murdoch to complain.

APPRECIATION FROM C1 wanted to keep up. King’s life could be written as one man’s de- termination to keep up, for an audience that always knew he was pretty much winging it — and loved him for it. Some of King’s gets were better than others, of course (not every night could have Marlon Brando; not every night could feature Is- raeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Palestine Liberation Or- ganization leader Yasser Arafat and Jordan’s K ing Hussein histori- cally united on the same show in 1995.

To be sitting at the table on CNN’s “Larry King Live” — just you, him and the b ig old mic — was proof that one had truly arrived. The suspenders. The odd ques- tions. Why, King wanted to know. His favorite question, because that’s all any of us ever really want to know: Why? During his 25-year reign on CNN, especially in the years roughly bookended by the 1994 killing of Nicole Brown Simpson and the 2009 death of Michael Jackson, “Larry King Live” was a necessary and vital stop on the way to one’s public judgment. More than one celebrity used his show as a form of recompense, coming to him dirty and damaged with the hope of leaving clean. Others used it as an opportunity to show their more vulnerable side, in a calculated way. Most used him as a means to promote their latest film o r album, t o gin up some b uzz.

MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2021 . WASHINGTONPOST.COM/SPORTS M2 D Nats add Hand to bolster bullpen

Left-handed closer agrees to one-year deal for $10.5 million

BY JESSE DOUGHERTY

In late October, in a surpris- ing, budget-conscious move, the Cleveland Indians placed Brad Hand on outright waivers and made him available to any team. All one had to do was pay Hand $10 million for 2021 plus a $50,000 fee. He was right there. But Hand wasn’t claimed — not by 29 other clubs — and instead he became the best left-handed reliever on the free agent market. Those were the first steps toward Hand agreeing to a one- year, $10.5 million deal with the Washington Nationals on Sun- day. Those terms, confirmed by a person with direct knowledge of them, do not include any op- tions. The contract deepens a bullpen that already had Daniel Hudson, Will Harris and Tanner Rainey for the late innings. And it continued a busy offseason for the Nationals, who traded for Josh Bell, then signed Kyle Schwarber, Jon Lester, Ryan Zimmerman and Hand, a MATT LUDTKE/ASSOCIATED PRESS 3 0-year-old who led the Ameri- Tom Brady had three touchdown passes and three interceptions as he guided the Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl since they beat the Raiders in January 2003. can League in saves and games finished in 2020.

NFL NOTES Olsen is retiring to join Fox as analyst

FROM NEWS SERVICES AND STAFF REPORTS

Tight end Greg Olsen is retir- ing from the NFL to become a broadcaster. Olsen announced Sunday that he is ending his 14-year career to join Fox as a game analyst. The first tight end with three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, Olsen, 35, played for the Bears, Panthers and Seahawks. “Proud of what I was able to accomplish in this league, proud of the relationships and every- thing that the game has given me,” Olsen said on Fox. “But sometimes, when it’s time it’s time, and my time in the NFL now has come to an end. I’m excited for the next chapter.” A 2007 first-round draft pick by the Bears, Olsen spent his first four pro seasons in Chicago be- fore being traded to Carolina for a third-round selection. It was one of the better transactions the Panthers have made. In his nine seasons with Caro- lina, Olsen made three Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl and had 524 catches for 6,463 yards and 39 touchdowns. He also was a team leader for PHOTOS BY JEFF ROBERSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS the Panthers. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught a one-yard touchdown pass against the Bills on Sunday. The all-pro finished with 13 receptions for 118 yards and a pair of scores. Olsen spent his final season in Seattle, making 24 receptions and scoring once. Overall, he made 742 receptions for 8,683 yards and 60 touchdowns.
