Storm damages hundreds of vehicles in Sioux Falls

• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- Sioux Falls auto body shops are in for a busy summer after a storm that pelted the metro area with pea- to golf ball-size hail, damaging hundreds of vehicles.
• One body shop manager says he's booked solid for the next two weeks, just with hail damage jobs.
• No injuries were immediately reported from the storm, which dropped heavy rain in a short amount of time and spawned funnel clouds and at least one tornado.
• Sirens didn't sound in the city of Hartford when the tornado warning was issued. Minnehaha County Emergency Manager Lynn DeYoung says the twister popped up quickly and "caught everybody by surprise." There were no immediate reports of damage.

AP News in Brief
Seattle police: University student disarmed gunman during shooting; 1 dead

• SEATTLE (AP) -- When a lone gunman armed with a shotgun at a small Seattle university stopped firing at students to reload, another student pepper-sprayed him and subdued him with the help of others and prevented more deaths, police said.
• "There are a number of heroes in this," Assistant Police Chief Paul McDonagh said. "The people around him (the gunman) stepped up."
• A 19-year-old man was fatally shot and two other young people were wounded after the gunman entered the foyer at Otto Miller Hall on the Seattle Pacific University campus and started shooting Thursday afternoon. When he paused to reload, a student building monitor disarmed him. The gunman had additional rounds and a knife, McDonagh said.
• "But for the great response by the people of Seattle Pacific, this incident might have been much more tragic," he said.
• The man in custody was not a student at the school, McDonagh told a news conference.
