Six people have been stabbed in an attack on Tremont Street in Boston's Theater District early Sunday, local media said. Police told media one suspect is still at large, while they may have apprehended a second one.

One victim was critically injured and is in emergency surgery, according to the Boston Globe.

Two suspects are reportedly at large, according to a notification sent to students at Emerson College. Students were urged to report any "suspicious activity."

Police, however, told media they have one suspect in custody - the person was reportedly among those injured and "survived some wounds." But they are still looking for the other one.

Boston Police Superintendent Bernard O'Rourke said the suspect fled in the direction of Charles Street South.

Gunfire has been reported at the Champaign campus of the University of Illinois, according to local media. Shots were fired in an alleyway and the shooter has left the area, police say.

Local authorities have confirmed that five people are among the victims of the overnight shooting, according to Champaign City official Twitter account. The city has called upon everyone to provide information that could help the investigation.

Several shots have been fired on Green Street between Third and Fourth streets, the Daily Illini reported, citing an Illini Alert sent out on Sunday morning. The alert recommended local residents to stay away from the area, notifying of more information to come.

The Hagerstown Police Department is under fire after a video surfaced earlier this week that shows a handcuffed girl being pepper sprayed in the back of a police cruiser.

Acording to Dan Dearth of Herald Mail Media, Hagerstown Police Capt. Tom Langston said Wednesday afternoon the department is still in the process of piecing things together.

"We're reviewing the body camera footage," he said.

Police said in a news release that the girl was charged with disorderly conduct, two counts of second-degreeassault, possession of marijuana and failure to obey a traffic device. The matter was referred to the Department of Juvenile Services.

Langston would not give any further information.

Robin Ficker, the College Park, Md. based attorney who represents the girl's family, said Wednesday that he met with the 15-year-old victim and her mother on Monday morning and was informed the girl was riding her bike when she was struck by a vehicle Sunday afternoon. The impact, he said, caused the girl to strike her head and lose consciousness for about 30 seconds.

Ficker states the details of the incident, "She was dazed, then she got up and realized she was OK.

An ambulance was called and the girl told paramedics that she didn't want to go to the hospital. Police arrived and pulled the girl, who is 5 feet tall and weighs about 105 pounds, off her bike when she tried to ride away.

At this point, a police officer lifted the girl's hands above her head from the rear and slammed her face into a wall, and her face hit the windowsill.

The girl, who has a white mother and a black father, resisted when officers tried to put her in the back of a cruiser."

The video, which had been shared on Facebook nearly 23,000 times as of Wednesday afternoon, shows the girl kicking at the rear right door of the police car, while it appears her hands are cuffed behind her.

An officer can be heard saying, "put your feet in the car, OK, or you're going to get sprayed."

The girl can be heard asking the officers, who are white, to call for a black police officer named "Zack."

A bystander who is questioning the tactics of police is told by an officer during the video that the medics needed to take a look at the girl, whose parents were not at the scene, because she is a minor and cannot refuse treatment.

"What happens ... when she's like, 'I'm fine,' right, and has a brain injury or something like that, and then she could die later?" the officer asks the bystander. " ... All we want to do is make sure she's OK."

Scott Bennett, formerly of the U.S. Army 11th Psychological Operations Battalion, told RT the dumpster bombing in New York, a pipe bomb explosion prior to a charity race in New Jersey for Marines and Navy sailors, and a potential bomb threat resulting in the closing of 60 school the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island were part of a psychological operation to draw attention away from an effort by the US to step up the war in Syria.

MEP with history of far-right politics discovered Jewish heritage in 2012 and now making 'aliya'

A leader of a Hungarian far-right party is planning to move to Israel after discovering his Jewish heritage. Csanad Szegedi, 34, former leader of the Jobbik party who have been previously accused of Neo-Nazism, is preparing to make aliya and move to Israel four years after leaving the nationalist party when he discovered his Jewish roots and that his grandmother was a Holocaust survivor.

Szegedi who was known for his extremist positions and anti-Semitic statements, helped found the Hungarian Guard, who wore black uniforms reminiscent of the notorious pro-Nazi Arrow Cross party that ruled Hungary briefly in the Second World War and rounded-up hundreds of thousands of Jews to be sent to the gas chambers.

In 2012, he described how "shocked" he was at the news of his grandmother and his Jewish heritage, adding: "First of all because I realised the Holocaust really happened."

Convicted double-murderer Daniel Wozniak looked toward the front of the Santa Ana courtroom, his expression void of emotion as an Orange County Superior Court judge on Friday affirmed his death sentence.

The courtroom fell silent. The victims' family and friends wiped away tears as Judge John Conley sentenced the former Costa Mesa community actor, 32, to death for killing Irvine resident Juri "Julie" Kibuishi, 23, and her Army veteran friend Samuel Herr, 26.

A jury had recommended in January that Wozniak be put to death for the two killings and gruesome cover-up that included beheading Herr and staging Kibuishi's body to look like she had been sexually assaulted. Had jurors or Conley chosen to spare Wozniak the death penalty, the alternative would have been life in prison without parole.

Wozniak will be taken to San Quentin State Prison, where he will remain until his execution date.

Kibuishi and Herr's families embraced one another as they exited the courtroom after the sentencing. Conley's decision gave them some resolution, they said, after six years and four months of court hearings and delays. However, they said, the pain of having their children ripped away will never cease to haunt them.

Confirming what many had suspected when viewing the sudden and intense collapse into anarchy that occurred in Charlotte this week, Todd Walther, spokesman for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police told CNN's Erin Burnett:

"This is not Charlotte that's out here. These are outside entities that are coming in and causing these problems. These are not protestors, these are criminals."

"We've got the instigators that are coming in from the outside. They were coming in on buses from out of state. If you go back and look at some of the arrests that were made last night. I can about say probably 70% of those had out-of-state IDs. They're not coming from Charlotte."
