US Shooting
A man shot five people in Texas on Tuesday, killing two of them, after meeting at a shopping centre north of Dallas, police said. It was not a random act of violence and the attacker knew both of the people who were fatally shot, Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said. "It was a known business relationship. We're still trying to work to identify what caused his actions," Arredondo said. After a short chase on foot, the 69-year-old suspect, Seung Han Ho, was arrested about 4 miles (6 kilometres) away at a grocery store, police said. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf. Police were at a nearby apartment complex where Ho was listed as having recently lived. Neighbours said they didn't recognise the name. Three people were injured in the shooting but are in stable condition, Arredondo said. Shortly after the shooting, officers with their guns drawn walked past doors at K Towne Plaza in an area of Carrollton known as Koreatown. Agents f
President Donald Trump was somberly contemplative and unusually conciliatory after confronting what he saw as a third attempt on his life in less than two years. He suggested that his personal politics had made him a repeated target, but he also called for unity and bipartisan healing in an increasingly violent world. "It's always shocking when something like this happens. Happened to me, a little bit. And that never changes," a subdued Trump told reporters in a hastily organised news conference at the White House late Saturday. Only a short time before, a man with guns and knives tried to rush past the security perimeter inside the Washington hotel where the Republican president was about to address the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Authorities are trying to determine what happened and why. A suspect was taken into custody and identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California. Trump said he himself was undoubtedly the target. The presidency is "a danger
Authorities say three people were killed, and 14 others were wounded after a shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said at a press conference early Sunday that police received a call for reports of a "male shooting" at Buford's, a popular beer garden in the city's entertainment district. When police arrived at the scene, they confronted a man with a gun and then "returned fire, killing the suspect." EMS Chief Robert Luckritz said three people were found dead at the scene, and 14 people were injured and transported to hospitals. Of those injured, three were in critical condition.
Protesters against immigration enforcement took to the streets in cities and towns across the country on Saturday after one federal officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis and another shot and wounded two people in Portland, Oregon. The demonstrations come as the US Department of Homeland Security pushes forward in the Twin Cities with what it calls its biggest-ever immigration enforcement operation. President Donald Trump's administration has said both shootings were acts of self-defence against drivers who weaponised their vehicles to attack officers. Steven Eubanks, 51, said he felt compelled to get out of his comfort zone and attend a Saturday protest in Durham, North Carolina, because of what he called the horrifying killing in Minneapolis. We can't allow it, Eubanks said. We have to stand up. Indivisible, a social movement organization that formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and .
As anger and outrage spilled out onto Minneapolis' streets Thursday over the fatal shooting of a woman the day before by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, a new shooting by federal officers in Oregon left two people wounded and elicited more scrutiny of enforcement operations across the US. Hundreds of people protesting the shooting of Renee Good marched in freezing rain at night down one of Minneapolis' major thoroughfares, chanting ICE out now and holding signs saying, killer ice off our streets." Protesters earlier vented their outrage outside a federal facility that is serving as a hub for the administration's latest immigration crackdown on a major city. The shooting in Portland, Oregon, took place outside a hospital in the afternoon. A man and woman were shot inside a vehicle, and their conditions were not immediately known. The FBI and the Oregon Department of Justice were investigating. Mayor Keith Wilson and the city council called on ICE to end all operations
Authorities knocked on doors and scoured yards Monday in search of any video or other evidence that might lead them to the Brown University gunman, whose face was covered or not visible in footage captured before and after the weekend attack that killed two students and wounded nine others. Officials released three new videos of the man they believe carried out Saturday's attack that show him wearing a mask and a dark two-tone jacket. Although his face wasn't visible, the footage from about two hours before the shooting provided the clearest images yet of the suspect. The FBI said the man is about 5 feet, 8 inches (173 centimetres) tall, with a stocky build. The agency offered a USD 50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person responsible. "We're asking for the public's assistance, Providence's police chief, Col Oscar Perez, said at a news conference, urging people who might recognise the suspect to call a tip line. Police renewed
At least 2 people have been killed and several others injured in a shooting at Brown University, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press. The official could not publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. University officials initially told students and staff that a suspect was in custody, before later saying that was not the case and that police were still searching for a suspect or suspects, according to alerts issued through Brown's emergency notification system. Multiple people were shot Sunday in the area of Brown University, police said, as the Ivy League school issued an active shooter alert and urged students and staff to take shelter during the second day of final exams.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he's invited the family of a National Guard member fatally shot last week to the White House, saying he spoke to her parents and they were devastated. US Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom died after the Wednesday shooting in Washington, DC, while her seriously injured colleague, US Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, remained in critical condition. The president said he's discussed a White House visit for the parents of both members of the West Virginia National Guard. I said, When you're ready, because that's a tough thing, come to the White House. We're going to honor Sarah, Trump told reporters. And likewise with Andrew, recover or not. In recent days, local vigils in West Virginia have honoured the soldiers, including one Saturday evening at Webster County High School, where Beckstrom attended classes. Sarah was the kind of student that teachers hoped for, she carried herself with quiet strength, a contagious smile and a positive energy that lif
Authorities in California appealed to the public for tips, even rumours, as they searched Sunday for a suspect in the killing of three children and an adult during a mass shooting at a child's birthday party in Stockton. It's heartbreaking, said Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin County sheriff's office. She said investigators believe it was a targeted incident at a banquet hall where 100 people or more had gathered Saturday night. Brent said the deceased were ages 8, 9, 14 and 21. Eleven people were also wounded. No one was in custody by Sunday afternoon, and she did not elaborate on why authorities believe it was intentional or who might have been targeted. If you have surveillance footage, if you're a local business here, if you're in the area, live in the area, or maybe you've heard rumours please contact the sheriff's office, Brent said. She said she could not release information about a motive or details about a suspect, noting that it might hinder the ...

Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin County sheriff's office, said the victims included both children and adults. Early indications suggest this may have been a targeted incident, Brent said during a news conference at the scene. The shooting occurred inside the banquet hall, which shares a parking lot with other businesses. Detectives were still working to identify a possible motive. Authorities did not immediately provide additional information about the conditions of the victims. Officials said earlier that several were taken to hospitals.
