Crime and police
Multiple killers played a role in the deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman - contrary to the widely-circulated murder-suicide theory initially leaked by law enforcement, sources have said, citing a parallel probe by a team of private investigators hired by the couple's family. The 75-year-old chairman of Apotex and his 70-year-old wife, Honey, were found dead in their Toronto, Canada, home.
Police in Springfield, Ohio, are investigating a robbery at the Security National Bank's Western Office, at 920 W. Main St. Police say they have a good description of the robber and they are searching the area.
Friends of a deputy US Marshal slain during a shootout with a wanted suspect are remembering him as a gifted athlete and natural leader. Pennlive.com says people in the area of central Pennsylvania where Christopher David Hill grew up are devastated by his fatal shooting early Thursday morning.
Two people climbed flagpoles outside Union Station in Washington, D.C., yesterday afternoon and unveiled a banner that read "Don't Trump our communities" in a peaceful demonstration that led to six arrests.
An Albuquerque, N.M., woman faces up to eight years in prison when sentenced after pleading guilty to a charge of assaulting a federal officer. Authorities said 38-year-old Charmaine Peralta bit and repeatedly kicked a US Marshals Service fugitive task force member.
The Bexar County (Texas) Sheriff's Office and the US Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force teamed up to make the arrest of a man in Laredo for a fatal shooting on that city's north side.
And "big ticket" federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the US Marshals Service, will see more than 80 percent of their work force, and virtually all field personnel, "excepted" from the government's shutdown.
The parting shots
President Trump may be having an extramarital affair in the White House, according to the latest bombshell claim from Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff. Wolff said Friday on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher that he was "absolutely sure" of such a tryst, but acknowledged that he lacked "ultimate proof."
Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman revealed yesterday that she was the object of a rape fantasy at the age of 13 and gave up on numerous roles while suffering through what she called an "environment of sexual terrorism."
And New Jersey's First Lady Tammy Murphy told a crowd of thousands at a Women's March event in Morristown that she had been sexually assaulted while in college.
