      Comfort dogs and handlers among victims of Joplin, Mo., shooting spree

      Comfort dogs have become a familiar sight for communities and families ravaged by gun violence. Two golden retrievers from a Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dog unit and their human handlers were among those wounded in a random shooting spree in Joplin, Mo., on Saturday morning, officials say. A van carrying the dogs had just left Immanuel Lutheran Church in Joplin shortly after 5 a.m. when it was hit by gunfire from a suspect police were pursuing.

      Trump looking to institute political tests for immigrants

      Donald Trump will declare an end to nation building if elected president, replacing it with what aides described as "foreign policy realism" focused on destroying the Islamic State group and other extremist organizations. In a speech the Republican presidential nominee will deliver on Monday in Ohio, Trump will argue that the country needs to work with anyone that shares that mission, regardless of other ideological and strategic disagreements. Any country that wants to work with the U.S. to defeat "radical Islamic terrorism" will be a U.S. ally, he is expected to say.

      Palestinian stabs Israeli soldier in West Bank: army

      A Palestinian stabbed and wounded an Israeli soldier near Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Sunday and was arrested, a military spokesman said. A wave of violence in the Palestinian territories and in Jerusalem since last October has resulted in the deaths of 219 Palestinians, 34 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese, according to an AFP count. Most of the Palestinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, Israeli authorities say.

The latest Facebook controversy is a continuation of the ongoing dialogue about the creation of "safe spaces" for marginalized communities in Pitzer, neighboring colleges in the Claremont system, and colleges across the country.

      When a mountain lion grabbed a 4-year-old girl camping with her family in Idaho, her quick-thinking parents successfully scared it off by yelling, causing the animal to drop their child and run away. The young girl attacked by the mountain lion was mostly unharmed, with just a few scratches, according to NBC News. Madison County sheriff’s deputies killed a mountain lion found near where the family was camping on Sunday.

      Mother Allegedly Drowns Son, 7, and Daughter, 5, Then Puts Their Bodies Beneath Neighbor's Home

      A Texas woman allegedly killed her two young children and then left their bodies beneath a neighbor’s home on Sunday in a seemingly random act of violence that has left loved ones devastated. Sheborah Thomas, 30, was charged with capital murder in the deaths of her son and daughter, identified by relatives as 7-year-old Oraylan and 5-year-old Kayana. Thomas allegedly told an acquaintance that she drowned her children in a bathtub and then left them under a neighbor’s home when she found burying them to be too difficult, Houston police spokesman Kese Smith told reporters.

      Hacker posts personal info of House Democrats and staff

      After receiving a deluge of obscene voicemails and text messages, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi informed her fellow Democrats on Saturday of "an electronic Watergate break-in" and warned them not to allow family members to answer their phones or read incoming texts. The breach targeted the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and other Democratic Party entities, Pelosi said in a statement. As a result, a mix of personal and official information of Democratic members and hundreds of congressional staff, purportedly from a hack of the DCCC, was posted online, she said.

      Nine killed in Kashmir on Indian Independence Day

      Nine people including a 16-year old protester and a police commander were killed Monday in Kashmir as clashes and gun battles raged across the disputed Himalayan region on Indian Independence Day. The teenage boy was shot dead late Monday following clashes between security forces and protesters in Batmaloo area of the main city Srinagar, hours after two militants were killed in a brief shoot-out a few miles away. Fierce clashes between protesters and Indian troops were reported across the Kashmir valley despite the authorities imposing a round-the-clock curfew.

      Venezuelans cross reopened border to Colombia for food, medicine

      By Anggy Polanco SAN ANTONIO, Venezuela (Reuters) - Thousands of Venezuelans were welcomed to Colombia by a military band early on Saturday morning as the two countries' borders were officially reopened after being closed by Venezuela a year ago. Some people had traveled across Venezuela to queue overnight hoping to cross to buy food and other basics that are in short supply in Venezuela, which is steeped in an economic crisis. "I came with my family to do some shopping because we can't find anything to eat," said Wilmary Salcedo, a 17-year-old engineering student who had traveled some 500 miles (800 km) from the central city of Maracay hoping for rice, sugar and cooking oil.

      The Latest: California wildfire forces 4,000 from homes

      About 4,000 people have fled their homes as a growing wildfire in Northern California burns into a town and destroys at least 10 homes. Cal Fire officials say the fire about 90 miles north of San Francisco has grown to nearly 5 square miles since it erupted Saturday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon, the flames jumped a road and marched into Main Street in Lower Lake, a town of about 1,200.

      Team USA Is About to Be Kicked Off its Doping High Horse in Rio

      In addition to shattering world records and breaking down barriers, the swimmers at the Rio Olympics have managed another feat of sorts: reigniting international sport’s Cold War. On the self-proclaimed forces of good: swimmers from Western nations who broke unwritten Olympic etiquette by speaking out against competitors they deemed “drug cheats.” The villains were swimmers from Russia and China who had been reinstated after serving suspensions for performance-enhancing drugs. The flames had been fanned before the Games, when an investigation found in July that Russia engaged in a wide-ranging state-sponsored conspiracy to deceive anti-doping officials during the Sochi Olympics.

      Japan's economic growth fizzles out in second quarter

      Japan's economy stalled in the April-June quarter, data showed on Monday, missing market forecasts and rekindling worries about the government's faltering bid to stoke a recovery. Japanese officials are under growing pressure to deliver as economists increasingly write off Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's years-long bid to cement a lasting recovery, dubbed Abenomics. There is the rally in the yen and worries about Japan's prospects in overseas markets.

      Another DNC hack: Why Russia may want to influence the US elections

      The Democratic Party is once again the subject of a Wikileaks dump, as information stolen from the party's servers in June continues to be made public. The newest set of documents came from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the fundraising organization for the House Democrats, and included cell phone numbers and email addresses of nearly 200 lawmakers. The hacker claiming responsibility for both this leak and the leak prior to the Democratic National Convention, Guccifer 2.0, has been linked to Russian intelligence.

      Dozens dead as warplanes pound rebel-held north Syria

      Syrian and Russian warplanes have launched a wave of air strikes in northern Syria, killing dozens in areas held by a rebel alliance battling to take control of second city Aleppo. The air strikes, which began Saturday and continued Sunday, killed 45 civilians in and around Aleppo and 22 in neighbouring Idlib province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The raids came as the Islamist Faylaq al-Sham Islamist faction, part of the rebel alliance, said it had begun a new offensive "to liberate" the regime-held area of Zahra on Aleppo's western outskirts.

      Scientists Are Now Even More Confused By Potential "Alien Superstructure"

      Within our own galaxy, some astronomers believe there may be a massive piece of alien technology, built to harvest energy from a distant star. The star, KIC 8462852, also known as Tabby's Star, exhibits strange behavior, flickering and dimming, that can't be explained by any known astronomical phenomena. A new, unpublished study posted to arXiv reports the results of studying images of the star from the Kepler Telescope over the past four years.
