A man who was 11 when he and a friend gunned down a teacher and four students at their middle school in 1998 died Saturday in a car crash on an Arkansas highway, according to police.
Andrew Golden, 33, who had changed his name to Drew Grant and was living in Missouri, died when the driver of a Chevy Tahoe collided head-on with his Honda CR-V on Highway 167 near Cave City, about 100 miles north of Little Rock, according to state police.
The driver of the Chevy, Daniel Petty, 59 — who was driving south when he swerved over a center line, a turning lane and two northbound lanes before crashing into Grant’s Honda — also died, according to a police report.
Stephanie Grant, 29, and a 2-year-old child were in the car with Grant and were injured, the report said. Kathy Tanner, 59, who was in the car with Petty, was also injured.
Grant and Mitchell Johnson, who was 13, set off a fire alarm at Westside Middle School near Jonesboro, Arkansas, on March 24, 1998, and shot at people as they fled the building.
Paige Herring and Stephanie Johnson, both 12, Brittney Varner and Natalie Brooks, both 11, and teacher Shannon Wright were killed. Ten others were wounded.
Johnson and Golden were tried as juveniles and were released at the age of 21 in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Because they were tried as juveniles, their records were sealed.

Grant applied for a concealed carry handgun permit in 2008, but his request was denied by the Arkansas State Police, according to NBC affiliate KAIT.
In 2017, the victims’ families were awarded $150 million in damages, and Grant and Johnson were prohibited from profiting in any way from the shooting.

Wright’s husband and son, Mitch and Zane, released a statement after Grant’s death Saturday.
“The news of Andrew Golden’s death today fills our family with mixed emotions as I’m sure it does with the other families and students of the Westside shooting. Mostly sadness. Sadness for his wife and son, sadness that they too will feel the loss that we have felt,” the statement, released to KAIT, said.
“To his family, we are so sorry for your loss. We are praying that his wife and child will make a full recovery,” the statement said.

Bitcoin chart drew a “golden cross”, the same as two months before reaching a historical maximum – Crypto on vc.ru

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that BTC/USD moved sideways during the night. Although the pair failed to gain a foothold at $23,000 as support, a potentially significant event occurred on February 6 when one of the most bullish patterns in technical analysis, the so-called “golden cross”, formed on the daily chart.
This means that the rising 50-day moving average has crossed the 200-day moving average. The last time such an event occurred on the daily charts was in September 2021, two months before the price of “cryptocurrency gold” reached its all-time high.

Some cryptanalysts are closely monitoring the situation, with Venturefounder, a member of the CryptoQuant analytics platform, claiming that Bitcoin could hit $25,000 again as a result.
“Bitcoin gold cross just arrived!” he tweeted.
“A potential correction could see BTC retest $20k (200DMA and key support) and then test $25k in a bullish scenario. If $25k becomes support, it will be the nail in the bears’ coffin.”

Nevertheless, the picture is not so rosy yet, since on higher timeframes, Bitcoin will have to overcome the figure opposite to the “golden cross”, the so-called “death cross”.

Analysts of the monitoring resource Material Indicators are not yet sure that only one “golden cross” on the daily chart will be able to raise BTC/USD higher.
“Whether this is enough to test $25k remains to be seen,” experts say.
The accompanying order book chart on Binance shows major selling resistance at $23,500, the first major hurdle for bulls to overcome in a move higher.

Powell’s speech is the “single key factor” of the macroeconomic week
Another factor to consider when analyzing the price of bitcoin was the comments of representatives of the US Federal Reserve System.
Ahead of macro data next week, several Fed officials were scheduled to speak, with Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech expected to be the most significant in terms of impact on market dynamics.
“There’s not much going on this week, the only key factor to keep an eye on is Powell’s performance tomorrow afternoon. There may still be another wave of correction, and then we should continue the rally up, ”says part of an analysis conducted on Twitter by Cointelegraph contributor Michael van de Poppe on February 6.
Van de Poppe added that a “buy on drawdown” tactic might be a viable option for altcoins at this time.
