      Milwaukee cop ‘personally’ knew man he shot from high school, sister says

      The Milwaukee police officer who shot and killed Sylville Smith last weekend, touching off a firestorm in the city, may have known him from high school. The man’s sister, Sherelle Smith, 22, told WITI-TV that her family knows the cop in question from his time at Pulaski High School, even though the Milwaukee Police Department has not publicly identified him. You knew exactly how my brother was, and you shot and killed him,” Smith said in an interview with the local Fox affiliate.

      Obama ‘tired’ of talking about Trump

      President Obama waves as he walks across the south lawn of the White House. President Obama took a brief respite from his two-week summer vacation on Martha’s Vineyard to attend a Democratic fundraiser for Hillary Clinton on the island Monday night. “You notice I haven’t said much about her opponent,” Obama told the approximately 60 guests who contributed $10,000 each to attend the fundraiser at a private home in Chilmark, Mass., according to a White House transcript.

      Glass-coated kite string kills 3 people in India's capital

      Indian police say three people, including two children, have died after their throats were slashed by glass-coated kite string used in competitions to bring down the kites of rivals. A 3-year-old girl riding with her parents in a car had her head out of the sunroof when her throat was cut by a kite string, her uncle said Wednesday. The man, Jafar Khan, suffered a fatal head injury, said his father, Ayub Khan.

      Factbox: 10 facts about Boko Haram and Nigeria's missing Chibok schoolgirls

      The first of more than 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls to be rescued from Boko Haram after two years in captivity in northeast Nigeria said on Tuesday that she just wants to go home. In her first interview, Amina Ali spoke to the Thomson Reuters Foundation in the capital of Abuja, where she and her baby daughter have been held by since her rescue in May for what the government has called a "restoration process". Ali said was not sure whether she would return to education and that she did not know when she would be able to go home.

      Hundreds Help Baltimore ‘Mom of the Year’ Left Homeless After Son Sets House on Fire

      Hundreds of people have donated more than $33,000 to help a Baltimore mother—who made national headlines last year for smacking her rioting teenage son—after that same son accidentally set the family’s home on fire last weekend. Toya Graham, who was widely praised as “mom of the year” after she was shown on television repeatedly whacking her son’s head and pulling him from a protest, cried this week as she spoke to a local news station about how the blaze displaced her struggling family.

      Over 82,000 evacuate as Blue Cut fire rapidly spreads in southern California

      Since first reported on Tuesday around 10:30 a.m. PDT, the Blue Cut fire has already engulfed 30,000 acres as of Wednesday morning, and it was expected to continue to spread. This out-of-control blaze follows a series of other devastating wildfires in California — most recently one in Lake County, Northern California — as a result of extremely low humidity, high temperatures and strong winds.

      Top London-based N. Korea diplomat defects to South

      South Korea said Wednesday that North Korea's deputy ambassador to Britain had defected to Seoul, in a rare and damaging loss of diplomatic face for Pyongyang. The Unification Ministry said Thae Yong-Ho -- the number-two at the North's mission in London -- had defected together with his family and they were now in the South Korean capital. Jeong declined to reveal Thae's defection route, citing the diplomatic sensitivities involved for the concerned countries.

      Vanderbilt University to Strike 'Confederate' From Dorm Name at Cost of $1.2 Million

      Vanderbilt University will soon strike the word "Confederate" from the name of one of its dorms, but chipping away at history comes with a big price tag. Per a 2005 court of appeals decision, the private college must shell out a hefty $1.2 million to the United Daughters of the Confederacy before chiseling the contentious word from Confederate Memorial Hall. The sum is today's equivalent of the $50,000 the Tennessee Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy paid for naming rights and to help build the residence hall back in 1933.

      Navajo Nation sues EPA over metal sludge from Colorado mine spill

      The Navajo Nation sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday, one year after 3 million gallons of toxic wastewater spilled into three states from an abandoned Colorado gold mine. In a court filing, the Navajo tribe alleged the EPA and other parties "recklessly" burrowed into the Gold King Mine in 2015, releasing waste into water upstream from the tribe's land. A year later, the waterways remain contaminated and the Navajo people have yet to be compensated, according to the complaint that also names EPA contractor Environmental Restoration, the Kinross Gold Corp and Sunnyside Gold Corp. "One of the Navajo people's most important sources of water for life and livelihood was poisoned with some of the worst contaminants known to man, including lead and arsenic," Navajo Nation said in the 48-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of New Mexico.

      Man Who Tried to Bite Murder Victim’s Face Off Is Recovering in Hospital, Police Say

      The 19-year-old college student who tried to bite a man’s face off after allegedly killing a married couple in Florida is now in stable condition after fighting for his life, according to authorities who continue to seek answers as to what prompted the vicious attack. Austin Harrouff, a Florida State University student, is now conscious but is unable to speak because he’s connected to a breathing tube, Trisha Kukuvka, a spokeswoman for the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told TIME on Wednesday. Authorities served a search warrant Tuesday to gather more blood, hair and DNA samples from Harrouff, who is accused of fatally stabbing and beating John Stevens, 59, and his 53-year-old wife Michelle Mishcon as the couple sat inside the garage Monday night.
