A deadly shooting in Spalding, Lincolnshire, which left 3 people dead is believed to have been 'tragic family incident.' Unconfirmed reports have suggested that a mother, 40, and a daughter, 20, were killed along with a male. Sky News has cited anonymous sources which have named the dead as mother and daughter Clare and Charlotte Hart, and father Lance Hart.

Local councillor Gary Porter told the Lincolnshire Echo police are not looking for any suspects related to the crime. "It looks from what we have seen so far, it is a tragic family incident - that is what I have been led to believe. Police are not looking for anyone else. Feel sorry for the people's families who are involved and be grateful it's not yours. Everything we have seen so far suggests it is a domestic. Staff at the swimming pool have been interviewed. It is a tragic event on a personal scale rather than community scale," he added.

Police in Lincolnshire responded to the incident shortly after 9am BST on Tuesday. A spokesman for Lincolnshire constabulary said police did not fire any shots themselves. Ambulances, a helicopter and six police vehicles attended the scene outside Castle Sports Complex, Pinchbeck Road.

An armed man has holed up at a hotel in southern France, with police blocking a perimeter of 250 meters around the building. The motives of the man are as yet unknown.

Police, along with emergency services, are currently at the scene near the Formule 1 hotel in the commune of Bollène, Provence.

"A deranged man is holed up in the Formule 1 hotel," a police spokeswoman told Reuters.

The man seems to be armed with a knife and may have an explosive device, a local gendarme officer told Reuters.

The hotel has been evacuated, La Dauphine media outlet reported.

The Tappan Zee Bridge in Westchester County, New York is closed after a major crane collapse led to blocked traffic in both directions. At least one person was taken away on a stretcher, but no life-threatening injuries were reported.

The accident occurred just after noon on Tuesday, and it's unclear what cause the crane to collapse. Emergency personnel could be seen flocking to the scene, and Governor Andrew Cuomo was reported to have arrived as well.

Drivers are advised to avoid the area by traffic signs as far back as Interstate 95 in New Jersey.

The red crane splintered across all six lanes of the causeway, leaving debris and damaging one car. It was being used for a construction project to create a new bridge to replace the aging Tappan Zee Bridge that is running alongside it.

Oklahoma City police have made public a surveillance video made on a bus in which an officer shot dead a person suspected of vandalism. An evidently delusional man attempted to grab for a female police officer's gun and was killed by her partner.

The chain of events that led to the killing started shortly after noon on June 25, when the suspect, 42-year-old Miguel Chaves-Angles, visited the St. James Catholic Church, reported Oklahoma's News Channel 4 (KFOR).

The staff at St. James later told police that Chavez prayed there, apparently very upset about his upcoming divorce. He was banging his head on the floor, they said.

An officer then reportedly approached Chaves-Angles and talked him into visiting St. Anthony's Hospital for a medical checkup, which he left a couple of hours later.

Another shocking video has come to light from the tragic Nice truck attack filmed just meters from the speeding truck as it plowed through the crowd, shocking and bring devastation to the revelers' Bastille Day celebration. WARNING: SOME MAY FIND THE FOLLOWING FOOTAGE DISTURBING

"A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty."—James Madison

America is a ticking time bomb.

All that remains to be seen is who—or what—will set fire to the fuse.

We are poised at what seems to be the pinnacle of a manufactured breakdown, with police shooting unarmed citizens, snipers shooting police, global and domestic violence rising, and a political showdown between two presidential candidates equally matched in unpopularity.

The preparations for the Republican and Democratic national conventions taking place in Cleveland and Philadelphia—augmented by a $50 million federal security grant for each city—provide a foretaste of how the government plans to deal with any individual or group that steps out of line: they will be censored, silenced, spied on, caged, intimidated, interrogated, investigated, recorded, tracked, labeled, held at gunpoint, detained, restrained, arrested, tried and found guilty.

Two years have now elapsed since New York City Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo choked Eric Garner to death for the apparently egregious crime of selling loose cigarettes — but the only one facing any punishment for what many believe to be a cold-blooded murder is the man who filmed it.

"I can't breathe," Garner pleaded eleven times — caught on film by Ramsey Orta — though Pantaleo refused to release his grip on the man's neck.

Garner's plea for his life became the rallying call of Black Lives Matter and police brutality activists across the nation and around the world — though the inhumanity of having to beg for one's life after committing a nonviolent, victimless crime remains sadly all-too-common.

The fatal shootings of three police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana has pushed the number of cops killed by firearms so far this year to 31 ‒ a whopping 72 percent higher than the same period last year.

The surge in police fatalities, recorded by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, follows a particularly deadly month for law enforcement after the high profile killings of police officers in Dallas, Texas and Baton Rouge. Cops were also shot in Michigan, Georgia, Tennessee and Missouri in incidents that garnered less media attention.

A total 31 police officers have been killed by guns in the line of duty up thus far in 2016, compared to 18 during the same period in 2015, according to the statistics.

#BlackLivesMatter protests, which have reared up again following the recent high profile deaths of black men at the hands of US police, have found an echo in the UK following the death of Mzee Mohammed in Liverpool. Mohammed died earlier this month following his arrest by Merseyside Police, who booked him for "aggressive and erratic"behavior. Video footage released after his death revealed how Mohammed was held face down by several police officers while paramedics attended to the 18-year-old.

Mohammed's mother, Karla, said at a Liverpool protest in his honor: "I will not rest; I will walk in my son's shoes until I get answers, and anyone who had a hand in my boy's death will be brought to justice. "My son will not be a number or a statistic. His death will not be in vain."

Demonstrations have also taken place in London, where Black Lives Matter campaigners called for "Justice for Mzee" as they staged sit-ins, roadblocks and confrontations with police. In his memory, the new national executive council of the National Union of Students started its very first meeting with a minute of silence. According to the charity Inquest, Mzee Mohammed is the twenty-first black person to die in UK custody in the last six years. More than 140 black and other minority ethnic (BAME) people have died under police protection since 1990.

Airport staff in Rio de Janeiro's Santos Dumont had never seen anything like it. Just 18 days before the start of the Olympics, security lines were so long they snaked around the entire second floor of the terminal. The reason for the chaos at the city's picturesque domestic airport centered on new security guidelines starting Monday that require passengers to go through checks as though they were flying international. Travelers in Brazil are not usually required to remove coins, belts or separate laptops for domestic flights.

"I've never seen a line like this," said Claudia Regina, a staffer who's worked at the same airport jewelry store for 12 years. "People were complaining and were stressed about missing their flights."

While aviation agency Anac said the measures weren't connected to the Olympics, they were announced on Friday after a terror attack in Nice prompted Brazilian authorities to promise stricter security procedures during the games, which begin on Aug. 5. Andre Luis, a security official for airport operator Infraero at Santos Dumont, said he expected further delays on Monday evening when the number of flights out of the airport reaches its peak.

In an effort to ease congestion, passengers were handed clear plastic bags to separate their metallic objects while they waited in the lines. Luis said the security measures would be heaviest in Rio but would also affect passengers flying into the city from other parts of the country. He said airlines should have informed passengers to arrive at the airport earlier than usual. Peak hours are between 6 and 7 a.m. and 7 and 9 p.m.

Securing the airport is vital to the success of the games, with several delegations, including the British team, training outside of Rio. The early morning chaos follows a security scare last week when a pilot had to abort a landing when a group of pedestrians wandered onto the runway.
