      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.

      Hawaii sushi chain tied to hepatitis A outbreak tosses food

      A restaurant chain in Hawaii that serves sushi on a conveyor belt threw out food and scrubbed its counters Tuesday after state authorities identified its raw scallops as the probable source of a hepatitis A outbreak. Genki Sushi was ordered to close its 10 restaurants on Oahu and one on Kauai, said Peter Oshiro, Hawaii State Department of Health sanitation branch chief.

      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.

      Three killed after kites slit throats in India

      Two children and a man have died in the Indian capital after their throats were slit by glass-covered strings used for flying kites during Independence Day celebrations, police said Wednesday. The tragedies prompted the Delhi government to this week issue an immediate ban on the production, sale and storage of the razor sharp strings which are used to try to cut down competitors' kites.

      California Wildfire Forces Over 80,000 From Homes

      The Southern California wildfire that began as a small midmorning patch of flame next to Interstate 15 in the Cajon Pass had by Tuesday’s end turned into a 28-square-mile monster that had burned an untold number of homes. “This moved so fast,” said Darren Dalton, 51, who along with his wife and son had to get out of his house in Wrightwood, a mountain town of 4,500 popular with skiers in winter. The air for miles around the blaze was filled with smoke.

      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.

      North Korea deputy ambassador in UK defects to South

      By James Pearson and Ju-min Park SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's deputy ambassador in London has defected with his family to South Korea, making him the highest-ranking Pyongyang diplomat ever to flee the isolated regime for the democratic South, South Korea said on Wednesday. The Unification Ministry in Seoul declined to say when or how Thae and his family arrived, or how many relatives accompanied him. Thae defected due to discontent with the regime of Kim Jong Un in North Korea and for the future of his child, ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee told a news conference.

      Charles Barkley Has Some Harsh Words For The U.S. Olympic Basketball Team's Roster

      If you ask Charles Barkley, who played on the legendary 1992 Dream Team and always can be counted on for strong opinions about these sorts of things, it’s a question of roster construction. In an interview with Sports360AZ.com (transcription via For The Win), Barkley said the current Olympic team is too reliant on isolation players. “If you take away DeAndre Jordan, every guy on that team is a ball-dominant guy.

      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).
