      Milwaukee cop ā€˜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,ā€ Smith said in an interview with the local Fox affiliate.

      Obama ā€˜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. ā€œYou notice I haven’t said much about her opponent,ā€ 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.

      'Firenadoes' rage in California as blaze threatens 82,000

      An inferno scorching swaths of southern California threatened the homes of more than 82,000 people, sending flaming "firenadoes" tearing across the brush and prompting a state of emergency. More than 1,300 firefighters were battling the giant blaze, with more on the way, but they were unable to contain the blaze. Dramatic local TV news footage of the wildfire captured from the front line in the town of Phelan showed tornado-like flaming vortexes -- known as "firenadoes" -- sent spinning into the air by the unusual ferocity of the blaze.

      Russia-Iran cooperation in Syria sends message to US

      Russia's use of an Iranian air base to bomb targets in Syria sends a message to Washington as it weighs a military partnership with Moscow: Join us or we'll look to your enemies. Iran allowed Russian warplanes to take off from its territory to strike opposition targets in Syria. The move came with little notice to the United States, which has watched helplessly the escalating bloodshed near Aleppo, the country's biggest city, and even offered an alliance with Russia against Islamic State and other extremist fighters as a way to get Syria's government out of the fight.

      World's 'largest aircraft' gets off ground

      The world's "largest aircraft" embarked on its maiden flight on Wednesday, four days after a previous attempt was abandoned due to technical issues. Originally developed for the US army as a surveillance aircraft, the 92-metre- (302 feet-) long Airlander 10, also has potential uses in the commercial sector, such as carrying cargo, according to makers Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV).

      Microsoft’s Surface brutally bullies the iPad Pro in a new commerical

      Apple's device is more popular, but the Surface is more powerful and versatile, which Microsoft argues makes it an all-around better device. The debate will never be settled, but Microsoft has taken out an ad to show the iPad Pro who is boss. Siri just wants to have fun! It's true: after far too long, the iPad is grown up, with a proper keyboard accessory.

      Imam and friend shot and killed in New York City

      Police arrested and charged a man with murder late Monday night in the brazen daytime shooting deaths of an imam and his friend as they left a New York City mosque. Oscar Morel, 35, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, police said. Morel was taken into custody late Sunday night for hitting a bicyclist with his SUV just 10 minutes after Saturday’s shooting in Queens, said the New York Police Department’s chief of detectives, Robert Boyce, at a news conference Monday.
