NEWS OF THE DAY
From Across the Nation
1 Police shooting: Seattle police are investigating the fatal shooting by two officers of a woman family members say was pregnant and struggling with mental health issues. The officers went to the apartment — where several children were present — after a call Sunday morning about a burglary, police said. At some point, the woman confronted them with a knife, and both officers shot their weapons, authorities said. The children were not injured, authorities said. Police on Monday released dash-cam audio of the encounter. The woman can be heard discussing with the officers that there was a break-in. Officers can then be heard saying “Get back! Get back!” and “We need help” before gunfire erupts. Relatives identified the woman as Charleena Lyles. Some questioned why nonlethal options weren’t used in the case.
2 Deadly arson fire: A woman was recorded on cell phone video pouring what appears to be gasoline through the window of a Milwaukee home and setting it on fire. Willie Greer, 72, died in the blaze Friday. Police say they have detained a 39-year-old woman in the case. The video shows a woman pouring the contents of a gas can through a window. Flames erupt and the woman walks away. It also shows another woman jumping to safety from a window and a group of young men trying to kick down a door, attempting to rescue people inside.
3 Body found: A body has been found along the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico not far from where a Colorado pastor parked his vehicle before heading out to search in the Espanola area for a supposed hidden cache of gold and jewels. The case of missing pastor Paris Wallace has reignited calls for the treasure hunt to come to an end. In 2016, another man died in the New Mexico backcountry while searching for a bounty that an antiquities dealer said he stashed somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. It has inspired thousands to search across remote corners of New Mexico, Yellowstone National Park and elsewhere. 4 Deadly mauling: A black bear killed a 16-yearold runner while he was competing in a race in Alaska on Sunday. Patrick Cooper of Anchorage was attacked after he got lost and veered off the trail during the juniors division of the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb race south of Anchorage. Cooper reportedly called his brother while he was being chased by the animal. Officials responded and located the boy’s body about a mile up the path. 5 Leap lawsuit: A New York City man who says the city didn’t do enough to keep him from drunkenly jumping out of the back of a moving ambulance has filed a lawsuit. Yaugeni Kralkin, 54, says he was intoxicated last June when he was picked up by medics. On the way to the hospital, he was able to unbuckle the straps on his stretcher and open the back door of the moving ambulance to jump out. The lawsuit says officials then found him unconscious in the street with severe injuries. Kralkin is suing the city, the Fire Department and responding medics.
