Police in Tulsa have arrested two suspects in the shootings of five men in Tulsa. Three have died; two others are wounded. The suspects are white, all five victims are black, and police are still deciding on whether to classify the murders as a hate crime. Meanwhile, in Sanford Florida, a Grand Jury will convene on Tuesday to determine whether to arrest George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin. Jury selection in the trial of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards begins in North Carolina on Thursday, just as corporate earnings for the first quarter of 2012 are released. Inflation reports are also due out next week. Charlie Herman, business and economics editor for The Takeaway and WNYC and Callie Crossley, host of The Callie Crossley Show on WGBH, explore the stories for the week ahead.
