AKRON, Ohio — A 25-year-old Black man who was killed last week by police officers in Akron, Ohio, suffered more than 60 gunshot wounds but was unarmed at ...

The family’s lawyers also questioned the city’s release of only parts of the videos at the news conference and urged that it release all of the video. This, they said, would include footage from the eight officers involved directly in the shooting along with five others who were at the scene. One day after more than 100 demonstrators gathered just outside downtown, chanting and holding signs, protests continued with hundreds participating in a march and rally at City Hall organized by the Akron N.A.A.C.P. Mr. DiCello criticized how the police portrayed Mr. Walker in the news conference. The decision of whether to charge the officers involved with a crime will be determined by prosecutors, but charges have rarely been filed in similar cases of shootings involving the police. The chase was brief, and footage appears to show a number of officers pursuing Mr. Walker, weapons drawn, into a nearby parking lot while shouting at him. Seconds later, Mr. Walker, wearing a ski mask, exits the vehicle and begins to flee on foot. A few seconds later, the officers open fire, and Mr. Walker drops to the ground. In one video, a popping sound can be heard at one point, and an officer reports gunfire coming from the door of Mr. Walker’s car. At a news conference on Sunday, the police released body camera videos of the pursuit and shooting that showed officers’ actions but deepened many questions around his death, which remains under investigation. Mr. Walker’s girlfriend died recently in a car accident. A still photo released by the police showed a handgun on the seat, along with a gold ring.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement that Jayland Walker's death "was murder. Point blank.”

Akron police released body camera video of the fatal police shooting of Jayland Walker, which showed a gunshot fired from his car during a chase.

Video shows Walker leaving the passenger side of his car, wearing a ski mask, while the car was still moving. After slowing his vehicle near the Firestone Park neighborhood, minutes from the University of Akron main campus, Walker took off on foot toward a nearby parking lot, where he was fatally shot by police. The Akron police department’s internal affairs department is also investigating. Mylett said officers tried to administer first aid, but Walker died on scene. Body cam video shows Walker headed southbound on Route 8, where a shot was fired from his car and he reached speeds up to 70 mph. “I am urging all our residents, please reserve your full judgment until the investigation is complete.

AKRON — Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old man shot and killed in late June in a hail of bullets fired by Akron police was unarmed at the time of the shooting, ...

New video released by the city of Akron and the Akron Police Department on Sunday included a narrated timeline of the events that led to the shooting on June 27. “This is every Black parent’s worst fear of what a traffic stop will turn into.” Police said Walker fired gunshots at the cruisers. Text in the video indicated that police attempted to stop Walker for a traffic violation. Social media posts claimed that about 90 rounds were fired and Walker was struck 60 times. “Silence will never produce justice.”

NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement that Jayland Walker's death "was murder. Point blank.”

SAN FRANCISCO -- It's been a slog for the Giants lately, so much so that manager Gabe Kapler felt the need to call out the team's flagging energy levels ...

“We didn’t play good baseball,” Kapler said. We’ve had a lot of times where we’ve been hit a little bit, especially with injuries, but that’s part of the game. “A lot of the time it’s just changing the attitude. “I think it’s pretty obvious that the team’s energy, our play, whatever you want to call it, has not been up to our standards,” first baseman Brandon Belt said. The message still wasn’t enough to snap the Giants out of one of their worst skids in Kapler’s three-year tenure, though. “When that happens, I think it’s important to examine where we’re spending our energy.”

When Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted for the most significant gun violence prevention bill in nearly three decades, he offered a candid.

“To a certain extent after January 6, McConnell’s broader political perspective has changed, and he is concerned about his legacy,” the aide said. But the gun bill is going to be a liability in these primaries.” And as a result, they are getting more bipartisan results, because they are seeking and forced to seek bipartisan results.” “I have no doubts that if given the opportunity, Mitch McConnell will try to force a nationwide abortion ban. So I think this is likely to all be litigated out, dealt with in the various states around the country.” They are forced to be more moderate in their ambitions. Wade. And they’ll use everything; they’ll eliminate the filibuster for that,” said Nelini Stamp, national organizing director of the progressive Working Families Party. It’s primarily a product of congressional math, he said. We pretty much own rural and small-town America. And I think this is a sensible solution to the problem before us, which is school safety and mental health,” McConnell told reporters. Wade protections and expansion of gun rights are keeping cultural issues front and center in the 2022 midterms. He has been absolutely terrible, and very bad for the GOP.” On abortion, McConnell praised the landmark ruling to overturn Roe v.

The man thanked George for the ride and got out of the car and started crutching. He waited and waited for the train to move so he could cross. He pulled over to direct the insect out, but mangled it by accident while trying to remove it from the vent with the edge of his insurance card. As they set off, the man raised his bottle in a toast, the turbulence of the uneven train tracks sloshing beer onto the car seat. He’d got one of his legs up over the linkage when the train lurched forward and started rolling. The man and George were possibly the same age. He held the crutches and also a full bottle of beer, as if this were no challenge. As the train appeared and rumbled past—industrial, Norfolk Southern, tankers of chemicals connected one to the next like hot-dog links—a man hobbled up to the driver’s-side window. He was on crutches, missing the bottom half of one leg. He was on a low road next to the French Broad, which divided the town in half. The sound of a train horn blasted into the car. The damp and teeming feel was familiar and unchanged.

“She’s probably tired,” said her mother. “But I can’t understand why she comes back here; the landlord says she lives so far away now.” She paused. “Queer?” said her mother. Only a subject for “Look. She’s there again.” And now she comes and stands on the corner. In this case, it was the number of warm days that was incredible (warm days being a factor in anyone’s understanding), instead of anything more important, and there seem to be so few important things, she thought desperately, besides the weather.

While being known for his own false and misleading emails, Trump faces armies of unaffiliated fundraisers who ape his message and sometimes threaten ...

We want to play ball because we are all in the same party on the same mission,” said one Trump fundraising adviser. “It’s no surprise that every candidate in the nation is trying to tap into it.” Every seat in the House and a third of the seats in the 100-member Senate are up for election. As of April 25, 46 of the 50 states had settled on the boundaries for 395 of 435 U.S. House districts. Here’s a complete calendar of all the primaries in 2022. Trump’s advisers have so far been selective in how they try to police the unauthorized use of his political brand, often reaching out privately in phone calls and text messages to candidates to tell them their behavior is not okay. “You do NOT want to disappoint Pres. Trump,” the message said, without any mention that it was from Hagerty’s campaign. Brnovich’s campaign is being led by National Public Affairs, a consulting firm founded by two veterans of Trump’s own campaign team: former Trump 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien and former deputy campaign manager Justin Clark. Frequently, solicitations are designed to trick donors into thinking they are giving to Trump himself, a misrepresentation belied only by the fine print. The letter was one of dozens of demands that Trump’s attorneys and aides have sent in recent years. At one point, Trump told his team to slim down the emails, but he was then advised that would cost his PAC money, which he did not want, another adviser said. At the same time, Trump himself is no stranger to misleading fundraising appeals.

The death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh reignited tensions between Israeli and Palestinian officials in May.

The Biden Administration has faced pressure from Congress to push for a conclusive investigation into the death of Abu Akleh, who was a U.S. citizen. Abu Akleh worked for the Al Jazeera network for 25 years and was famous in the Arab world for her coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The process of investigating Abu Akleh’s death has been contentious: The Palestinian Authority—which oversees security in much of the occupied West Bank—has refused Israeli requests to hand over the bullet that killed Abu Akleh or open a joint investigation, though PA officials let the U.S. examine the bullet last week.

The United States said Monday that Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was likely killed by gunfire from Israeli positions but that there was no reason ...

We again offer our deepest condolences to the Abu Akleh family," said the rare July 4 statement. A New York Times investigation found that the bullet was fired from near the location of an Israeli military convoy, likely by a soldier from an elite unit and that there were no armed Palestinians in the area. The State Department also said the United States could not make a "definitive conclusion" on the origin of the bullet that killed her on May 11, which was handed over by the Palestinian Authority.

"The Pallbearers Club" is presented as a found memoir manuscript, complicated by the contradictory annotation of an enigmatic woman.

Art has fashioned himself into a stunted thing to be “safe,” and yet he and Mercy are two planets locked in a mutually destructive orbit. And yet, with the entrance of Mercy, Art’s life takes a decided turn into occult realms where inexplicable things happen. Is this cascade of bad luck his own doing, or the culmination of a long-range plot? We are led to believe that this is not Tremblay’s composition, but the found manuscript of Art’s memoir. My head filled with damp peat and moss, and my ears rang as I sank into the bog of myself… His latest novel, “The Pallbearers Club,” continues in the macabre vein but adds the dimension of quasi-autobiography.

The latest: Highland Park officials said law enforcement agencies are still searching for an active shooter suspect. The city said 16 individuals were ...

Enough is enough!" - Glencoeofficials said the Fourth of July parade had been canceled "out of an abundance of caution." - The city ofEvanston, Illinois, said it canceled its July 4 parade and celebrations due to the "tragic mass shooting" in Highland Park. At least six people were killed and two dozen others hospitalized in a mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, police officials said at a press conference Monday.

Police launched a massive manhunt Monday for a rooftop shooter after at least six people were killed and 24 more were injured at a July Fourth parade in an.

"My campaign team and I were gathering at the start of the parade when shooting started," the Democratic lawmaker said in a statement. You know, it was right on top of us." "I was screaming and people were screaming," Bloom added. Six of those patients were gunshot victims and two others were hurt in falls. "There are no words for the kind of monster who lies in wait and fires into a crowd of families and children celebrating a holiday with their community," Pritzker said in a statement. Fourth of July events in other Chicago suburbs — Evanston, Deerfield and Skokie — were called off in the wake of the Highland Park shooting. "My team and I are safe and secure." Four were treated and released and the other four "are in good to fair condition and are still receiving care,” King said. "I will stand firm with Illinoisans and Americans: we must — and we will — end this plague of gun violence." The Chicago Police Department dispatched a helicopter and other officers in the manhunt, officials said. The city of Highland Park confirmed that there's "an active shooter incident" and urged all "individuals are advised to shelter in place." HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — Police launched a massive manhunt Monday for a rooftop shooter after at least six people were killed and 24 more were injured at a July Fourth parade in an affluent Chicago suburb, authorities said.

President Joe Biden began Independence Day by sharing a message that looked to the country's future, but quickly had to respond to another mass shooting in ...

But I know this: From the deepest depths of our worst crises, we've always risen to our higher heights," Biden told the crowd on the South Lawn. "We've always come out better than we went in." That's a more pessimistic reading than in May, when 78% said things were headed the wrong way and 21% that things were generally moving in the right direction. Liberty is under assault -- assault both here and abroad," he said, alluding to the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. In remarks commemorating July Fourth with military families at the White House later in the afternoon, Biden made reference to the new gun safety law and the Illinois shooting, saying, "You all heard what happened today. That freedom has been reduced. "Our economy is growing, but not without pain.

A shooting that left five people dead at an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb disrupted Monday's celebrations across the U.S..

But he sees the Jan. 6 hearings probing last year’s storming of the U.S. Capitol as a reason for hope, an opportunity to rally behind democratic institutions. “That is an essential glue of constitutional democracy.” News of yet another mass shooting came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its independence and the bonds that still hold it together. Parade-goer Gina Troiani told The Associated Press she fled with her 5-year-old son’s bike, decorated with red and blue curled ribbons, through a neighborhood to get away from the parade route. “Today, I encourage you to imagine what this nation could be if and when we live up to our values.” Hundreds of parade-goers—some visibly bloodied—fled the parade route, leaving behind chairs, baby strollers and blankets.

But I know this: From the deepest depths of our worst crises, we've always risen to our higher heights," Biden told the crowd on the South Lawn. "We've always come out better than we went in." That's a more pessimistic reading than in May, when 78% said things were headed the wrong way and 21% that things were generally moving in the right direction. "Make no mistake, our best days still lie ahead."

"But there is much more work to do, and I'm not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence," he added.

After an hourslong manhunt, authorities arrested 22-year-old Robert “Bobby” Crimo III on Monday evening.

Highland Park was the setting of a large gathering in support of gun control on June 11. We have got to get corruption and evil out of our government and we have to elect men and women of honor and of courage to get this country and this state back on track,” he said in a poor quality video. In his prayer, he called on God to heal “the mental illness that is creating these problems.” “Today’s shooting is an unmistakable reminder that more should be done to address gun violence in our country.” “There’s been a lot of different events that have happened in the United States and this obviously now has hit very close to home,” Temple said. But there is much more work to do, and I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence.” My intent was to pray for the victims and those affected by today’s tragedy and for the shooter to be caught and prosecuted without further loss. Police on Monday evening shut off access to the streets near what was believed to be Crimo’s home. “I am shellshocked by the whole thing,” he said. Crimo was taken back to Highland Park as the investigation continued. And for hours, the parade route remained eerily quiet. The victims ranged in age from 8 to 85.

Among the casualties were between four and five children. As they fled the parade route on Central Street in downtown Highland Park, panicked parade-goers left ...

Highland Park police commander Chris O’Neill called on business owners and members of the public to turn over security footage that might help them find the shooter. Even as people ran, a klezmer band, seemingly unaware of the gunfire, continued to play. Evidence potentially leading to which specific firearm was used has been recovered.

Independence Day celebrations in the United States were disrupted by reports of a shooting at a parade in a Chicago suburb.

Fears of yet another mass shooting rose as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its independence and the bonds that still hold it together. “The Fourth of July is a sacred day in our country — it’s a time to celebrate the goodness of our nation, the only nation on Earth founded based on an idea: that all people are created equal,” President Joe Biden tweeted earlier on Monday. “Make no mistake, our best days still lie ahead.” Authorities have not officially reported any casualties, but witnesses described seeing bloodied bodies apparently covered with blankets.
