President Obama addressed an audience at a campaign fundraiser in New York City on Thursday, March 1. “We ended torture, we promoted human rights. We made it clear America’s a Pacific power,” Obama told an audience. “We are leading by the power of our moral example.”

Phyllis Ferguson, mother of slain Chardin High School student Demetrius Hewlin, said she forgives Thomas “TJ” Lane for the murder of her son. The parents of 16-year-old Demetrius sat down with ABC News to discuss their thoughts on the shooting rampage that left three students dead, two injured and a community devastated by Monday’s tragic events.
