Two dead in possible murder-suicide at UCLA; campus on lockdown
ampus shooting at UCLA Wednesday morning left two men dead in a possible murder-suicide and sent thousands of students running for safety and barricading themselves in classrooms.
The shooting, which led to a campus lockdown just after 10 a.m., prompted a massive response from local and federal law enforcement.
More than hour after the panic began, UCLA Police Chief James Herren told reporters that the killing may have been a murder-suicide.
“It is certainly possible that one of the victims is the shooter,” Herren said.
The dead men were inside a campus engineering building, according to UCLA. Shortly after noon, university officials cautioned students in a campus-wide alert to remain inside, unless instructed by police to leave.https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-ucla-shooting-20160601-snap-story.html

A Colorado 911 dispatcher may have been "foolish" and acting "incompetently," but he's not responsible for the death of a Sudanese immigrant four years ago, according to a court ruling Tuesday.
The Denver Postreports Jimma Pal Reat, his brother Ran Pal, and others were driving from Denver to their apartment in Wheat Ridge when a red Jeep pulled up next to them. The men in the Jeep yelled racial epithets at Reat and the others, and one brandished a gun.
They also threw bottles and bottle rockets hard enough to break the car's window, according to . Reat and the others made it back to Wheat Ridge and called 911. Dispatcher Juan Rodriguez, who has since been fired, told them—“for reasons that remain unclear,” per the court ruling—that they'd have to return to the scene of the crime if they wanted help.
"I said, 'I'm here at home, this is where I feel safe so please send somebody,' Pal tells theDenver Channel. "He said, 'No. If you don't go back that way, we won't be able to send anybody, and it's going to be your loss.”
After 14 minutes of begging, insisting they were hurt and afraid, Pal and the others agreed to return to Denver.
They were standing outside their car when the red Jeep came back and opened fire. Reat was shot and killed, and the suspects have still not been identified. Reat's family sued Rodriguez, but the court found him not liable for Reat's death and ordered the suit dismissed.
The court ruled Reat and the others were free to ignore Rodriguez's instructions. "It cannot be said that any of Rodriguez's actions, as foolish as they were, 'limited in some way the liberty of a citizen to act on his own behalf,'" the ruling states, per CNS. (This 911 dispatcher saved a caller by pretending to be her boyfriend.)

33 Dead, 130 Injured in China Knife-Wielding Spree
A group of knife-wielding men attacked a train station in southwestern China on Saturday, killing at least 29 people and injuring more than 130 others in what Chinese officials called a terrorist strike, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Four of the attackers were also shot dead and only one was captured alive after the mayhem, which broke out about 9 p.m. (8 a.m. ET) at the Kunming Railway Station in the capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Derrick Deanda saw a van on its side after a rollover crash in Elk Grove, California, broke windows to free the father and three kids trapped inside, and then ... got billed $143. "I pulled up right as it happened," Deanda recalls to CBS Sacramento of the September 2015 incident. "There was a guy standing inside the van, because it was on its side, holding a 2 year-old infant." After paramedics arrived, they briefly checked over Deanda, who had a small cut from breaking the glass, checking his pulse and giving him a bottle of water. That's why, weeks after the crash, he got a bill in the mail for a "first-responder fee."
"We’re obligated to provide the same level of service, the same billing, the same everything, for every patient we encounter," explains deputy fire chief Mike McLaughlin. "I asked the paramedics for a bottle of water to clean my hand off because I had a small scrape on my hand they ask me questions and they consider that an assessment on me," Deanda wrote on Facebook, per the Daily Mail. McLaughlin says the fire department wants to "make it right" and waive the fee, but that hasn't happened yet, and Deanda plans to formally appeal. He also says the fee sends the wrong message: "Why would I want to stop to help somebody if I’m going to get a bill for $150?" The family members he helped are all OK.
