      Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Calls Up National Guard After Milwaukee Unrest

      Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker activated his stateโ€™s National Guard on Sunday to help police in Milwaukee if violent protests persist following the fatal shooting of a man by officers who said he was fleeing a traffic stop. At least four businesses were burned and one police officer was hurt in violence that broke out Saturday night a few hours after the officer-involved shooting. Walker said he took the step after receiving a request from Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and talking with Mayor Tom Barrett and the Guardโ€™s leader.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Panic at New York airport after reports of shots fired

      Unfounded reports of shots fired at New York's main airport triggered scenes of panic, massive evacuations and huge delays. There was no immediate confirmation of injuries or arrests, but Port Authority police evacuated at least two terminals at John F. Kennedy International Airport out of precaution. Spokesman Joe Pentangelo said Port Authority police had received an ultimately "unfounded" call of shots fired.

      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.

      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 neighborโ€™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 neighborโ€™s home when she found burying them to be too difficult, Houston police spokesman Kese Smith told reporters.
