THE LEAD STORY - KIM SEEKS PEACE?: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un hopes to sign a peace deal after the upcoming meeting with President Trump, which is tentatively set for May, Bloomberg reported, citing a South Korea report ... Dong-A Ilbo, South Korea's national newspaper, spoke to an unidentified senior official from President Moon Jae-in's office, who said Kim will likely raise the possibility of the peace treaty. The report said Kim is also likely to voice his desire to establish diplomatic relations with the U.S. and consider nuclear disarmament, the report said. The regime wants a peace treaty to end the more than 60-year-old ceasefire between the two sides and to safeguard its sovereignty, Koh Yu-hwan, who teaches North Korean studies at Dongguk University in Seoul, told the outlet. TRAGEDY ON THE WATER: A helicopter crash in New York City's East River Sunday killed all five passengers, leaving the pilot as the only survivor, officials said ... The cause of the crash is unknown as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) planned to investigate. The chopper's pilot managed to free himself, while two people were declared dead at the scene of the crash, NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said at a news conference. The three other passengers died overnight at nearby hospitals. The group, which officials said was flying as part of a Liberty Helicopters tour, was on the private Eurocopter AS350 for a photo shoot when it crashed around 7 p.m. BABY STEPS IN STOPPING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS: The White House announced a series of recommendations Sunday night meant to stop school shootings, including a full audit and review of the FBI tip line after warnings about a student who killed 17 people at a Florida high school last month were not acted upon ... But the administration did not call for immediately increasing the minimum age for buying long guns to 21, as President Trump had previously advocated. It announced that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would chair a federal commission on school safety to study the proposal. DeVos said in a statement that the commission would look at a "wide range" of ideas in order to ensure that "no student or family should ever have to live the horror of Parkland or Sandy Hook ever again." BULLET HOLE REMINDERS: The Northern California treatment facility where an Army veteran killed three woman and himself after a siege Friday remained shuttered over the weekend and may never reopen, the San Francisco Chronicle reported ... A spokesman for the privately run Pathway Home in Yountville told the paper that the program's six patients have been moved to various hotels in Napa County while law enforcement officials continue their investigation. "We don't know whether that building is going to be a place that people want to live in, want to work in, after what happened Friday," Larry Kamer told the Chronicle. "It's not like people can just forget what happened there, move on, and work and have their group sessions. It's got bullet holes in it." Investigators said 36-year-old Albert Wong, a veteran of the Afghanistan war, slipped into a going-away party for some Pathway Home employees Friday morning. He let some people leave, but made his three victims stay behind. Investigators were also looking at how Wong -- who had been expelled from The Pathway Home weeks earlier -- managed to get inside the building without being noticed. JOY'S PRIVATE APOLOGY NOT ENOUGH: ABC News has maintained a stony silence amid increased pressure for its star Joy Behar to apologize on-air to the "millions of Christians" who watch "The View," leaving Disney boss Bob Iger to fend for himself when an angry shareholder asked him about the brouhaha at a recent shareholder meeting ... On Feb. 13, Behar criticized Vice President Pence's faith by saying that hearing from Jesus is actually called "mental illness." The resulting public outrage led scores of angry viewers to call or write ABC News demanding an apology. It wasn't until late last week that Iger, CEO of ABC parent Disney, finally revealed when questioned by a concerned shareholder that Behar had privately called the vice president to apologize. Multiple ABC sources told Fox News that ABC -- despite tens of thousands of formal viewer complaints -- has not subjected Behar's comments to review by the news division's Editorial Standards and Practices department. The unit normally would rule on whether a public apology was required.
