Two Louisiana deputies were fired and arrested on manslaughter counts after they shot an unarmed man, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto said.

A Robinson R44 helicopter crashed Saturday into the ocean waters off Miami Beach, plummeting a few feet away from swimmers.

An appeals court overturned the negligence conviction of a Florida police officer who in 2016 shot at an unarmed autistic man and hit his caregiver.

Police opened fire during the attempted takedown of an assault suspect, killing him and a teen girl who was inside a dressing room.

More than 3,000 military members and their families were relocated to hotels while the Navy deals with its contaminated drinking water.

2021 is the seventh year in a row with fewer than 30 executions and 50 new death sentences, a report from the Death Penalty Information Center found.

There have now been at least 29 school shootings in 2021, according to Education Week, which tracks school shooting incidents across the U.S.

The Kyle Rittenhouse verdict in Wisconsin brings new attention to the leeway U.S. laws often give people armed with guns to use deadly force.

The missing girl signaled for help from a car, and deputies soon arrested a man for “unlawful imprisonment,” the Kentucky Sheriff’s Department said.
