One dead, five injured in shooting at New York City subway station

One person was killed and five wounded in a shooting at a New York City subway station on Monday at the start of the evening rush hour, authorities said. The gunfire broke out on an elevated train platform in the Bronx at around 4.30 pm, a time when stations throughout the city are filled with kids coming home from school and many workers are beginning their evening commute. A man in his 30s was killed, police said. A Fire Department spokesperson described four of the other injuries as serious. Police weren't immediately able to provide details on what happened but said a hunt was on for the shooter, who fled the scene. "The train was coming and there were two kids yelling," witness Efrain Feliciano (61) told the Daily News. "There were at least six shots." "I saw sparkles as the bullets hit the wall," Feliciano said. "A woman was holding a child screaming." Video from television news helicopters showed a subway train stopped at the station and orange evidence cones on the platfo

5-yr-old among 2 injured in shooting at Texas church, woman shooter killed

A woman was killed in Texas' Houston on Sunday -- on a day the majority of the US brimmed with anticipation for Super Bowl LVIII -- after opening fire at a megachurch run by prominent evangelical Christian pastor Joel Osteen, the city's police chief said. Two people were shot during the shooting. Among them, a child aged about five is in critical condition while a 57-year-old man shot in the hip is stable, said Troy Finner -- the city police chief. In a post on X late in the afternoon, Lakewood Church said there was an active shooter situation that included shots being fired and law enforcement arriving on the scene. The woman -- in her early 30s and wearing a long trench coat, holding a long rifle and a backpack -- entered the church, accompanied by a boy, believed to be about five years old, and started shooting, Finner said. Two off-duty law enforcement officers who were at the church when the shots were fired at 1.50 pm opened fire and killed the woman, he added. The woman's .

NYC imposes curfew at more migrant shelters due to recent violent attacks

New York is expanding a curfew to additional migrant shelters after violent incidents attributed to migrant shelter residents gained national attention in recent weeks. Mayor Eric Adams' administration will impose an 11 pm to 6 am curfew at 20 migrant shelters starting Monday, after initially placing the restrictions at four other locations, The Daily News reports. The curfew impacts about 3,600 migrants, with the largest of the emergency centres housing roughly 1,000 migrants in Long Island City, Queens. City officials initially placed a curfew on four shelters last month in response to neighbourhood complaints. The additional curfews come after a spate of migrant-related violence and crime has prompted increasingly dire rhetoric from city and police officials. A 15-year-old teen from Venezuela was arrested on Friday for opening fire in Times Square while fleeing from police after being stopped by security for suspected shoplifting. The shooting injured a tourist from Brazil. A v

17-year-old kills sixth-grader, wounds 5 in Iowa school shooting: US Police

A 17-year-old opened fire at a small-town Iowa high school on the first day of school after the winter break, killing a sixth-grader and wounding five others as students barricaded in offices and fled in panic. The suspect, a student at the school in Perry, died of what investigators believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and at least one of the victims is a school administrator, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official was not authorised to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The AP on the condition of anonymity. Perry has about 8,000 residents and is about 40 miles (64 kilometres) northwest of Des Moines, on the edge of the state capital's metropolitan area. It is home to a large pork-processing plant, and low-slung, single-story homes spread among trees now shorn of their leaves by winter. The high school and middle school are connected, sitting on the east edge of the town. High school senior Ava Augustus said she was in a ...

A man was fatally shot and three people were hurt as gunfire rang out at a shopping center in Colorado on Christmas Eve, police said Sunday. A fight broke out between two groups of people in the afternoon at the Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs and officers received a report of gunshots and responded, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a series of posts on the social media platform X.

Maine mass shooting puts spotlight on array of laws and massive failures

Across the nation, much of the debate around gun rights and restrictions centers on mental health. Many advocates on both sides agree that getting people with serious mental illness into treatment, and then preventing those who are dangerous from accessing guns, is key to preventing mass shootings. Yet in the weeks and months before the mass shooting in Lewiston, there were so many red flags that people all around the killer were raising concerns to authorities. He was still able to kill 18 people, wound another 13 and shatter a community's sense of security. Lawmakers want answers as to why laws in two states Maine and New York didn't prevent the tragedy. It's a massive failure, said Republican state Sen. Lisa Keim, sponsor of Maine's so-called yellow flag law, noting that it has been successfully invoked 82 times previously. Maine's law requires more hurdles than red flag laws in more than 20 states, including New York, which generally allow someone to directly petition a jud

Mass killing suspect in Maine had mental health issues, say authorities

A US Army reservist who opened fire at a Maine bowling alley and a bar earlier this week and killed 18 people purchased his weapons legally, authorities said Saturday, adding he likely launched his rampage as a result of underlying mental health issues. The body of Robert Card, a firearms instructor, was found Friday at a recycling centre in Lisbon Falls that police had searched a day earlier. Card died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. The 40-year-old Card of Bowdoin was suspected of also injuring 13 people during the shooting rampage on Wednesday night in Lewiston. State Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sauschuck said law enforcement scoured the Maine Recycling Corp property, where Card once worked, on Thursday night. Sauschuck said another state police team returned Friday to the site, which has about 60 trailers, and found Card's body alongside several guns in a trailer that hadn't been searched.

Mass shootings in US spur divergent laws as states split between gun rights

Tennessee's Republican-led Legislature is meeting in special session this week to consider a package of public safety proposals, including some stemming from a deadly shooting at a Nashville elementary school earlier this year. Though the session is not expected to result in any new firearms restrictions, it nonetheless highlights the widely divergent response among states to a spate of mass shootings across the US. More than half the states have enacted substantive new laws this year regarding gun policies or school safety measures most often tightening firearm restrictions in Democratic-led states and loosening them in Republican-led ones. Some states also have pumped money into efforts to secure schools or to train teachers and staff how to respond in shootings. WHAT IS TENNESSEE DOING? Republican Gov. Bill Lee has outlined an 18-prong agenda for Tennessee lawmakers to consider during their special session. The proposal that has gotten the most public attention also appears am
