BOSTON - Whole Foods has reached an agreement to settle a lawsuit accusing it of illegally firing a worker who refused to remove her Black Lives Matter facemask and complained about racism at the Amazon.com-owned upscale grocery chain.

The lawsuit stemmed from nationwide racial justice protests that followed the May 2020 killing of George Floyd, a Black man, under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer. Kinzer said she was then fired for protesting outside her store, rejecting demands to stop wearing a mask and talking to the press. She had also filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Police say a woman killed Saturday in a drive-by shooting on a Deerfoot Trail overpass was not the intended target.A 17-year-old injured in the same vehicle was likely the intended victim, Calgary police said Monday. He is in hospital in stable condition.The shooting victim has been identified as Jordan Leinen, 19, of Calgary, following an autopsy completed by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Monday.Her death has been deemed a homicide, police said.
