<p>In yet another shooting incident in the United States, five people were killed and at least eight others were injured on Monday (April 10) in the US city of Louisville, Kentucky. The authorities also revealed that the shooter, a 25-year-old bank employee, live-streamed the attack when he opened fire at his workplace.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The death toll reached five when Louisville authorities confirmed in the evening that a fifth victim, a 57-year-old woman, had died of her injuries. Police also shot and killed the alleged attacker, who has been identified as a white man named Connor Sturgeon. He was an employee of Old National Bank, located downtown in Kentucky's largest city.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Police said that they reached at the scene within three minutes of receiving reports of gunfire in the bank at 8:38am (1238 GMT). Interim police chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel told an afternoon press conference that the suspect even shot at officers, who returned fire and killed him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gwinn-Villaroel said that the "weapon of choice was a rifle", but she didn't specify whether or not it was an assault weapon of the ones that are commonly used in such shootings in the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The police chief further confirmed that the shooter had broadcast a live video of the attack on Instagram. AFP in its report mentioned that a spokesperson for Meta, the social media app's parent company, told the news agency that it was "in touch with law enforcement and quickly removed the live stream of this tragic incident this morning."&nbsp;</p>

US: At least three dead, four injured in another shooting at Los Angeles, California

<p>Three police officers were killed and five injured after a man opened fire on police attempting to serve a warrant in eastern Kentucky.</p>

<p>Three injured officers remain in the hospital, state police&nbsp;said in a statement. One is in critical condition, and two are in stable condition. One officer was treated and released, state police said, reports CBS.</p>

<p>The incident took place on Thursday evening when four officers were attempting to serve a warrant to 49-year-old Lance Storz at his home on Main Street.</p>

<p>Police had received a complaint that Storz had assaulted and raped a woman. She then obtained an emergency protection order against Storz and called in officers in Allen, a small town a few miles from Prestonsburg, local officials said.</p>

<p>As soon as they knocked on his door, Storz, who was waiting for them with a loaded gun, opened fire on law enforcement officers without warning.</p>

<p>One local official described the scene as a “war zone.”</p>

<p>Immediately after that, more police personnel, along with agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' London and Ashland Offices, were deployed to the spot.</p>

<p>Officers and Storz were locked in a stand-off after the assaulter refused to surrender. Family members also got involved in an effort to get him to surrender.</p>

<p>Later, Storz was taken into custody. According to the police, he was charged&nbsp;with two counts of murdering a police officer, five counts of attempted murder of a police officer, one count of attempted murder and one count of first-degree assault of&nbsp;a service animal, court records show.</p>

<p>Storz was arraigned in Floyd County District Court on Friday morning, where District Judge Eric Hall entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and set his bond at $10 million.</p>

US: 1 student dead in North Carolina school shooting; suspect caught

<p>A sixth-grade girl pulled a handgun from a backpack at her eastern Idaho school on Thursday and opened fire, hitting two fellow students and a member of school staff and inflicting non-life-threatening injuries on them, officials said.</p>

<p>The girl was disarmed by a teacher at Rigby Middle School in Rigby, Idaho, a remote community about 270 miles (435 km) east of Boise, and held until law enforcement arrived, Jefferson County Sheriff Steve Anderson said. Her name and exact age weren't immediately released.</p>

<p>"She fired multiple rounds inside of the school and out," Anderson said at a news conference. "We don't have a lot of details of why. That is being investigated."</p>

<p>Students were sent home with their parents immediately after the shootings and classes will be canceled on Friday, Jefferson School District Superintendent Chad Martin said.</p>

<p>"This is the worst nightmare any school district could ever face," said Martin. "We prepare for it and we're never truly ready for it."</p>

<p>Several law enforcement agencies are involved in the investigation of the shooting, which happened shortly after 9 a.m. local time, Jefferson County Sheriff Anderson said. Local media had previously reported that a male student was taken into custody after the shooting.</p>

<p>Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Taylor said charges against the girl could include three counts of attempted murder.</p>

<p>None of the gunshot wounds were life-threatening, Michael Lemon, trauma director at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center said.</p>

<p>"They could be so much worse," Lemon said. "We feel absolutely blessed."</p>

<p>The school staff member was treated and released for his injury, while the two students were being kept overnight for observation, he said.</p>

<p>The United States has been protesting against the police brutality aimed at the African-American community in the country for the past few months, as several cases have come forward. In another such case, a Florida sheriff has released a video which shows the deputy involved in the shooting of two teenagers.</p>

<p>Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey released a dashcam car video of the shooting which shows&nbsp;Deputies Jafet Santiago-Miranda and Carson Hendren who were involved in the shooting of the two teenagers — 16-year-old Angelo Crooms and 18-year-old Sincere Pierce.</p>

<p>The two officers were attempting a follow-up investigation on an assumed stolen car, which had recently fled from a&nbsp;Deputy in the Cocoa area. When the Deputies saw the vehicle pulling up into the driveway of a residence in Stetson, the driver of the vehicle backed out of the driveway and turned toward the Deputies and their vehicles that were parked in the roadway.&nbsp;</p>

Florida Sheriff provides dashcam video of deputies involved in teenagers' shooting

<p>A gunman opened fire at the Molson Coors Beverage Co brewing complex in Milwaukee on Wednesday, killing five employees before he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot, the city`s police chief said.</p>

<p>No other people were injured in the violence, which erupted about 2 pm at the sprawling campus of more than 20 buildings, where over 1,000 workers are employed by the beer company in Wisconsin`s largest city, the chief said.</p>

<p>"There is no threat at this time, and we will continue to investigate throughout the night," the police chief, Alfonso Morales, told reporters at a news conference hours after the shooting.</p>

<p>Morales said the bloodshed was confined to the Molson Coors &nbsp;complex west of downtown - a facility known to locals as the old Miller brewery - and that "no members of the general public were involved." Miller beer is one of the company`s leading brands.</p>

<p>Hours later, law enforcement officers were still combing through each building in the complex to secure the facility, Morales said, adding the deceased gunman was believed to have acted alone.</p>

<p>The suspect was described only as a 51-year-old Milwaukee man. Details about the circumstances of the shooting, including what may have precipitated the carnage, were not provided by authorities.</p>

<p>President Donald Trump, acknowledging the shooting as he opened a White House news conference about the coronavirus outbreak, referred to the gunman as a "wicked murderer" and called the gun violence "a terrible thing."</p>

<p>Appearing with the police chief in Milwaukee, Mayor Tom Barrett branded the shooting "an unspeakable tragedy."</p>

<p>"There were five individuals who went to work today just like everybody goes to work. They thought they were going to work and return to their families. They didn`t, and tragically they never will."</p>

<p>Governor Tony Evers asked for a brief moment of silence out of respect for the victims "needlessly murdered at Molson Coors this afternoon."</p>

<p>The entire Molson Coors campus was placed under a security lockdown, and the company advised employees in an email that the gunman had been located in or near a second-floor stairwell near a packaging facility, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.</p>

<p>Video footage from the scene showed streets cordoned off with numerous police and fire department vehicles ringing the area as brewery workers were escorted from buildings.</p>

<p>Local television station WISN, an ABC affiliate, said police appeared to be searching a vehicle on or near the scene. The station later showed part of a residential Milwaukee neighbourhood roped off with police crime-scene tape.</p>

<p>According to the Journal Sentinel, Molson Coors Beverage Co, which operates MillerCoors, announced plans last fall to close a Denver office and relocate some corporate support jobs to Milwaukee. The newspaper said the restructuring was designed to cut costs and resulted in 400 to 500 jobs being eliminated throughout Molson Coors.</p>

<p>It said the company now had 610 jobs at its Milwaukee corporate office, in addition to 750 jobs at two breweries in the city.</p>

Multiple fatalities in US shooting near Pittsburgh synagogue: Report

<p>India has received a report on the shootout incident resulting in the death of its national in the US&#39; Washington state and is coordinating with the investigative agencies, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said today.</p>

<p>The Minister also said that the Indian Consulate in San Francisco is helping the family of 26-year-old Vikram Jaryal, who was shot dead allegedly by two masked armed robbers.</p>

<p>&quot;I have received a report on the shootout incident resulting in the tragic death of Indian national Vikram Jaryal in Washington State USA,&quot; Swaraj tweeted.</p>

<p>&quot;The victim was only 26 years old and had reached US only 25 days back. He was working at the gas station of a family friend,&quot; she said in a series of tweets.</p>

<p>Jaryal, who worked as a clerk at AM-PM Gas Station in Yakima city, was behind the counter when the incident happened. His family had yesterday sought Swaraj&#39;s help to bring his body back.</p>
