4/1: Two people killed and others hurt in deadly tornadoes across the East coast. Hoping to lower gas prices, President Biden is tapping America's strategic oil reserve.

Across a dozen states -- there were more than two dozen reports of tornadoes. The deadly storms killed two people and two others were hurt when a tornado touched down in the Florida panhandle. President Biden is draining nearly 1/3 of America's strategic oil reserve, its largest release ever. A Russian official claims two Ukrainian helicopters attacked a Russian oil depot, some 20 miles across the border. This comes as Russian forces continue to bombard Ukrainian cities, killing thousands of civilians. While most of America is lifting covid restrictions, one of the world's biggest cities has been shut down. Shanghai -- home to about 25 million people -- is largely at a standstill today, as China battles its worst wave of covid infections since the start of the pandemic. Police in Greenville, South Carolina, are investigating a deadly middle school shooting that left one 12-year-old boy dead -- and another facing a murder charge. Top seeds Louisville and South Carolina will play, and then last year's champion Stanford will take on UCONN in the NCAA Women’s Final Four. Meanwhile, the Men's Final Four begins tomorrow night in New Orleans with archrivals Duke and North Carolina playing each other for the first time ever in the tournament.
