EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — Warning labels on estrogen used in therapy for treating symptoms of menopause has discouraged many women from using it in the past.
Today the Food and Drug Administration is asking companies to remove what is known as “black box warnings” on hormone therapy drugs containing estrogen.
The black box warning is the highest safety label that the FDA can place on a prescription drug.
Since 2003, the black box warning as been placed on estrogen and all hormone therapy.
Health officials say these labels are misleading and have prevented many women from receiving help during menopause, causing them to suffer symptoms from night sweats to brain-fog unnecessarily.
They say that the removal of this label will lead to more clinicians talking with patients about hormone therapy and discussing more accurate risks associated with these medicatons

MOBERLY, Mo. (KMIZ)
A man suspected of shooting a 23-year-old woman outside his Moberly home appealed to his law enforcement background, lack of criminal history and his “litany of medical issues” as reasons he is not a danger or a flight risk.
David Kip Heyde, 68, of Moberly, has been released from the Macon County Jail after posting $100,000 bond, according to the jail. He is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Bailey Scott.
Court records show his bond was reduced to $100,000 on Friday. Heyde also waived his right to a jury trial on Friday, and a bench trial was scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 6, 2026.
Scott’s friend Lyndsey Smith was in the courtroom Friday.
“I remember just getting up after he [Judge Robert Koffman] said that 100,000 and walked out,” Smith said. “I mean, obviously I came back in because I had to, but it’s just that gut wrenching feeling that even though they feel like he’s not a danger to the community, he is. Because if he felt like he could do it once, he could do it again.”
The motion to reduce bond for Heyde listed six reasons why he should be granted bond, including that he suffers from multiple medical issues that require him to go to the VA in Columbia regularly.

It also says Heyde served two decades as a law enforcement officer and has no criminal history. Heyde has an expired peace officer’s license, and City of Moberly records say he was once an employee there. Further details about his employment were not available because records more than 20 years old are not maintained.
Smith said she believes Heyde was able to use his history in law enforcement to his advantage.
“He was in law enforcement, that doesn’t matter,” Smith said. “Murder’s wrong at the end of the day.”
Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Stephanie Luntsford said the judge made it clear he was considering two specific things when looking at bond.
“Is the defendant a flight risk or will his appearances be secured. And two, whether or not there is a risk to public safety,” Luntsford said.
Luntsford said the state requested that no bond remain in place.
Heyde’s release has left some Moberly residents shocked and angry. An ABC 17 News reporter saw two separate vehicles drive by Heyde’s home on Monday and yell things like, “murderer.”
Smith said losing her friend has been hard, but harder when her alleged killer is back home.
“It makes me sick,” Smith said. “I mean, he’ll be able to spend the holidays with his family. And Bailey’s not able to.”
Around 7:30 p.m. July 6, Moberly police were called to a report of shots being fired in the 900 block of East Logan Street, the probable cause statement says. Scott was found with a gunshot wound in her right torso.
Heyde told police he fired two shots at Scott, court documents say. He claimed self-defense, saying Scott hit him during an argument after she alleged he was “attempting to kill birds at the front of his property,” according to the probable cause statement.
Scott “had no obvious signs of trauma or injury to either of her hands,” the statement says. ABC 17 News spoke with neighbors the week of the shooting about ongoing allegations that Heyde put bird feed in the street in front of his home.
Heyde was arrested four days after the shooting and booked into the Randolph County Jail. He was transferred to the Macon County Jail, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. MSHP’s Division of Drug and Crime Control was asked by Moberly police to investigate the shooting.
Smith said the community will never stop fighting for Bailey.
“We’re not going to stop until she gets her justice,” Smith said. “We’re not going to. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it.”

INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) – The National Guard arrived in the Coachella Valley Monday morning at FIND Regional Food Bank in Indio. Personnel will assist food bank staff in the warehouse with packing food for distribution and handing out food at FIND’s distribution sites.
The presence of California Army National Guard – or Cal Guard – troops comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced late last month he would deploy soldiers in this manner.
The last time the Guard was called on to assist food banks was during the coronavirus pandemic.
After arriving at FIND’s Indio warehouse early Monday morning, a dozen National Guard soldiers, led by Sgt. 1st Class Gonzalo Aldape, attended an orientation before heading to their first action Monday evening.
National Guard soldiers worked alongside FIND volunteers during a food distribution at Mecca Elementary School. Starting at 4:00 p.m., dozens of people lined up in cars and on foot to receive fresh produce, like strawberries and asparagus, dairy products, and other foods.
“California is my state. California is my home. And we’re glad to be here,” said Aldape.
Debbie Espinosa, the President and CEO of FIND Regional Food Bank, said the timing of the National Guard’s assistance was perfect. Right now, the food bank is seeing a large increase in families needing assistance. According to Espinosa, lines have increased by roughly 40% in recent weeks as the government shutdown affected both federal employees – who missed multiple paychecks – and families that rely on SNAP/EBT benefits.
FIND’s seasonal volunteers – many who are snowbirds and begin volunteering after the start of the new year – largely have not returned to the Coachella Valley. That mix of high demand and low staffing isn’t ideal.
“We have one of our highest times of need, just like we saw during the time of the pandemic,” said Espinosa. “So when you have a low amount of volunteers and you have a high amount of need, thank goodness we have Cal Guard to be able to help us fill that gap in between.”
FIND staff said without adequate volunteers, there have been times where they have had to ask all of its employees to assist with packing to ensure the people who rely on their food don’t go hungry. But with the addition of the 12 Cal Guard personnel, there’s added peace of mind knowing bodies will be available to keep those in need fed.
The Guard expects to work Monday through Saturday until December.
Of the 12 troops serving the Coachella Valley during this time, one has served the desert community before; Debarr is returning to Indio after previously working with FIND during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Indio Mayor Glenn Miller, who also welcomed the National Guard Monday morning, said the city is fully behind the help the soldiers will bring.
“Thank you to the National Guard and everybody that’s here. We appreciate the support – the City of Indio – and FIND Food [Bank]. We are 100% behind them coming out, and when you see them, come up and shake their hand and say, ‘Thank you for helping.'”

A Columbia teenager was charged as an adult with murder in Randolph County on Monday, a year after he was accused of shooting a man to death.
Da’Caveon W. Nelson, 17, has been certified as an adult. Prosecutors have asked that he be brought to the Randolph County Jail from the Clay County, Missouri, juvenile detention center, where he has been held since May. He is currently being held at the Boone County Jail.
He was charged Monday with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and first-degree robbery in the Nov. 10, 2024, shooting death of Ethan March, 22.
Nelson was arraigned Monday afternoon in Randolph County where he pleaded not guilty, according to Randolph County Prosecutor Stephanie Luntsford.
“We decided to certify Mr. Nelson as an adult this morning so there for thats what prompted my office to file charges because now the juvenile court no longer has jurisdiction,” Luntsford said.
March was found with a gunshot wound in a home on County Road 2605.
At the time, investigators said they had taken a 16-year-old Columbia boy into custody as a suspect in the shooting, along with a 15-year-old girl who is listed in court documents as Nelson’s girlfriend. A deputy told ABC 17 News after the shooting that authorities found the two teenagers in the woods.
Nelson allegedly told authorities after his arrest that he had shot March, according to a probable cause statement. Nelson’s girlfriend had blood spatter on her, the statement says.
The statement says Nelson shot March — whose name is redacted in the documents — while he was stealing a gun.
With Nelson charged as an adult, Luntsford says she taking the next steps in the legal process.
“We will begin the discovery process we will get it set for a preliminary hearing, I’m sure there will be bond arguments to come in the future,” she said.
March’s mother, Leea Burton said in a statement,” All we know is that he was certified as an adult today, we pray for justice to be served for out son!.”
ABC 17 News reached out to Nelson’s attorney.

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) — The new McDonald’s in Redmond, located at 625 NW Oak Tree Lane, held a grand opening celebration on Veterans Day with free meals for all veterans, active-duty service members and first responders.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., everyone was able to enjoy raffles and giveaways, $1 ice cream cones and $3 Happy Meals.
As part of the opening, the restaurant donated two checks totaling $2,500 to the Central Oregon Veterans Ranch and the Family Access Network.
Plenty of customers filled the restaurant for its grand opening. Mason Rodby, owner of the McDonald’s restaurants in Redmond, Madras and Prineville showed KTVZ News around the new building.
“It’s been an awesome day – really busy day,” Rodby said. “And no school today, so it brings it in. A lot of customers are coming in and enjoying our new lobby and enjoying our new drive-thru. It’s been great! We have a great, great team in there that’s serving our customers and making sure that they get what they ordered.”
This new McDonald’s takes a more modern approach. The restaurant is geared toward drive-thru, take-out and orders through the app.
The lobby has one person who can assist customers, but mainly relies on self-serve kiosks. There’s a new cash machine connected to the kiosks, as well.
The building includes three drive-thru windows, separate pick-up shelves for DoorDash and the McDonalds app, as well as a special late-light window just for Dashers.
