| Police officer shot dead and six more officers wounded in South Carolina Posted: 03 Oct 2018 09:42 PM PDT  A man shot seven police officers in South Carolina, killing one, in a standoff so dangerous that police had to use a bullet-proof vehicle to rescue the wounded. The man also held children hostage for two hours in his Florence home on Wednesday afternoon, but they were released safely as the suspect was taken into custody, Florence County Sheriff's Maj. Mike Nunn said. It was a stunning shooting in an area already reeling from record flooding from Hurricane Florence. The sheriff and police chief both cried as they spoke to reporters just hours after the shooting. "I want you to pray for the family who lost the bravest police officer I have ever known," Florence Police Chief Allen Heidler said of Terrence Carraway. Carraway, 52, of Darlington, had recently celebrated 30 years as a police officer. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Blood-soaked evidence lies on Saxon Drive in the Vintage Place neighborhood Credit: AP The man shot three Florence County deputies from inside a home as they came to serve a warrant around 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nunn said. The suspect then shot four Florence city police officers, one fatally, as officers from all around the area swarmed in to help, Heidler said. Officials refused to say why they were serving a warrant. They also did not name him or the wounded officers, nor did they give their conditions. Condolences and outpourings of support rolled in at news of the shooting. "This is simply devastating news from Florence," Gov. Henry McMaster tweeted. "The selfless acts of bravery from the men and women in law enforcement is real, just like the power of prayer is real." This is simply devastating news from Florence. The selfless acts of bravery from the men and women in law enforcement is real, just like the power of prayer is real. (1/2)— Gov. Henry McMaster (@henrymcmaster) October 3, 2018 Thom Berry, spokesman for the State Law Enforcement Division, said the agency had sent crime scene technicians to assist officials in Florence but at this time had not been requested to help with any investigation. Boone said investigators from Richland County would help investigate the shooting. He did not say why he wasn't using state police like most law enforcement agencies do in officer shootings in South Carolina. Authorities said the shootings happened in Vintage Place, an upmarket neighbourhood in the western part of the city.

"Surprised is probably an understatement," Goin said of the shooting in the neighbourhood where he has lived for 20 years. "The worst thing that goes on around here is that someone runs a stop sign and it gets posted on Facebook." This is the second shooting of multiple police officers in South Carolina this year. In January, a 47-year-old former banker shot four officers in York County, killing one, after his wife called 911 to report he beat her. Christian McCall pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life without parole.

It's the largest city in the region known as the Pee Dee, where flooding from Hurricane Florence devastated areas to the east and south.

Rather than giving greater credence to foul play, the elimination of a manufacturing defect as causing the hole "indicates that this is an isolated issue which does not categorically affect future production," NASA said. Roscosmos and NASA have each opened their own investigations of the 2 millimeter-wide hole detected in late August on the exterior wall of a Russian Soyuz capsule docked to the space station after ground operators reported slight dips in pressure levels.

| US, China look on as Putin seeks India arms deals Posted: 03 Oct 2018 09:03 PM PDT  Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in India on Thursday looking to tie up billions of dollars in arms deals with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, likely irking the US, China and Pakistan in one fell swoop. India will ask the United States for a special waiver for the purchase -- as discussed by their defence and foreign ministers in New Delhi last month -- but Washington has signalled there is no guarantee it will accede. The US is in a difficult position as it seeks to contain China through better ties with India, which like Washington has been unnerved by Beijing's growing assertiveness.

| US charges seven Russian intelligence officers linked to global cyber hack of doping agencies and other organisations Posted: 04 Oct 2018 07:50 AM PDT  The US Department of Justice has charged seven Russian military intelligence officers with hacking anti-doping agencies and other organisations. An indictment announced in Washington on Thursday said Russia's military intelligence agency, known as the GRU, targeted the hacking victims because they had publicly supported a ban on Russian athletes in international sports competitions and because they had condemned Russia's state-sponsored athlete doping program. Prosecutors said the Russians also targeted a Pennsylvania-based nuclear energy company and an international organisation that was investigating chemical weapons in Syria and the poisoning of a former GRU officer.

| Sarah Huckabee Sanders hits CNN's Jim Acosta with a low blow while arguing about 'facts' Posted: 03 Oct 2018 11:52 AM PDT  The White House press briefings are back and they're as unhinged as ever. In an on-camera briefing on Wednesday, the first since September 10, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders repeatedly excused Trump's shameless mocking of Christine Blasey Ford on Tuesday night as the president simply stating "facts." After CNN's chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, asked Sanders about Trump's words, the two engaged in a brief but heated exchange and Sanders accused CNN of not stating facts. SEE ALSO: Trump claims it's a 'very scary time for young men in America' and... NO IT IS NOT When asked if she thought Brett Kavanaugh – Trump's Supreme Court nominee who Ford accused of sexual assault – was a victim, Sanders said, "I think both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh are vicitms at the hands of the democrats," and went on to say it's crucial to look at the facts present in both testimonies. Acosta then proceeded to ask if Sanders had any problem with Trump's widely criticized comments about Ford at Tuesday night's rally in Mississippi. "I don't have any problem stating facts, no... I know that's probably something you do have a problem with but we don't," Sanders said before moving on to another question. "Actually, Sarah, we do state the facts and I think there have been many occasions when you don't state the facts if I may respond," Acosta replied. After the tense moment, many picked up on Sanders' defensiveness and called her out on social media for her snark. Wow, Sarah Huckabee just told CNN's Jim @Acosta that he has a problem with stating facts. He then turned around called her a liar, which she is. (He said it more diplomatically, but she is a liar, and needs to be called on it more often.) — John Aravosis ���� (@aravosis) October 3, 2018 Sanders insists that Trump mockery of Ford—which has angered Reps on Hill—was merely a recitation of "facts" and levels an insult of @acosta as representing a company that doesn't get facts. — Cathleen Decker (@cathleendecker) October 3, 2018 Sarah Sanders takes cheap shot at @Acosta after answering question and moving on to another reporter."I don't have any problem stating facts...I know that is something you probably do have a problem with. I don't." pic.twitter.com/jdvu0VyWWi — Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) October 3, 2018 "I don't have any problem stating facts, I know that's something you probably do have a problem with."

Following Ford's Thursday testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the FBI is currently investigating the allegations against Kavanaugh. The FBI is likely to wrap up its investigation shortly, and Sanders confirmed that a senate vote will likely come soon after. WATCH: Amber Heard on the countless number of ways to help your community

The Justice Department said one of the Russian officers researched Westinghouse and its employees online and stole log-in credentials of Westinghouse workers for servers in the United States, including staff that work at its advanced nuclear reactor development and new reactor technology units. Westinghouse, which is located outside Pittsburgh, provides fuel, services and nuclear power plant design to customers, including Ukraine.
