1 FBI agent plea: A dancing FBI agent who accidentally shot a man in the leg after doing a backflip in a Denver bar will avoid jail time after pleading guilty to third-degree assault. Chase Bishop, 30, struck a plea deal with prosecutors and was sentenced Friday to two years of probation. He also must pay more than $1,600 in fines and court costs. Footage of the June 2 shooting shows Bishop dancing in the middle of a circle of people before doing the backflip. The gun falls to the ground mid-flip and discharges as Bishop picks it up. Bishop was off-duty at the time. FBI spokeswoman Kelsey Pietranton declined to say whether he would continue to work at the agency. 2 Border troops: The military says the number of active-duty troops deployed at the border with Mexico is down to about 2,600. U.S. Northern Command said about 1,200 are in California, 700 in Arizona and 700 in Texas. President Trump sent the troops just before the midterm election, citing a caravan of Central American migrants headed toward the border. At its peak, the operation included about 5,800 troops. Northern Command spokesman Bill Lewis said the cost of the deployment is still being compiled. 3 Obama tribute: Signs have gone up naming a section of a freeway in the Los Angeles area as the President Barack H. Obama Highway. The signs posted last week on State Route 134 apply to a stretch running from State Route 2 in Glendale through the Eagle Rock section of Los Angeles to Interstate 210 in Pasadena. The former president attended Occidental College in Eagle Rock from 1979 to 1981 and lived in Pasadena. The designation was authorized in 2017 when the Legislature signed off on a resolution introduced by state Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Democrat whose district includes the area.

4 Post office honor: President Trump signed a bill Friday naming a post office in Charlottesville, Va., after Humayun Khan, the Muslim American soldier killed in Iraq whose parents he attacked during the 2016 campaign. Khan attended the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He died at age 27 in 2004 and was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star. His parents, Khizr and Ghazala Khan, appeared together on stage at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, with Khizr Khan criticizing then-Republican presidential nominee Trump for his calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. 5 High school activist: Florida school shooting survivor and gun control advocate David Hogg is going to Harvard University. Hogg announced his acceptance to the Cambridge, Mass., university on Twitter Saturday. He said he plans to major in political science. Hogg has been one of the most prominent voices seeking gun control measures after authorities say a former student killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. His tweet about his Harvard plans earned more than 162,000 “likes” within just eight hours.
